Heck, yeah ~ !"I concur! And I also agree.

"Make not Mad
A Poet's Mind,

Tender shrine, of Delphic descent,
Of best intent, if fragile, sparkles a diamond

Setting begetting a Tiffany tear
Drop,
Forget not,

Even if under
The light of a crescent moon,
Slivers' silver silvers ..."
~ The Annotator

".. as the light bisects the forest
And points them home, where they've never been."

"How aerial, his torque, how elegant, his silent landing,
Spun unto the air, his prosperous spin,
Unscrews

Around sound, uncorks your vision,
Angel pirouettes upon a pen
On high, suspended animation,

Held en air, long enough to ask, What's the news,
Heads, or Tails ~ ?"

In August I attended a Sunday morning Mass in honor of Our Lady of
Knock, sponsored by the Ancient Order of Hibernians. There was even a
bagpiper playing.

Who is Our Lady of Knock?

You're welcome. Good night ~Twittering!~

Bark in The Dark ~

O,
Do you hear ~ ?

The Dogs of New Orleans
Bark in The Dark ~

O,
Do you hear,
Do you dare go near,
Do you dare to answer,
Do you dare to really see

Such mournful cries
And wails ~ ?

O, do you hear, do you see
The dogs of New Orleans bark hopelessly
Calling you and me ~ ?

Swirling delta, draining round,
Washing out to sea, barking, wailing sounds,
The pleading, entreating begging barks
Of bloody canines

Left all alone In New Orleans, drowning dogs
Barking in the dark ~

Bark or whine
Bark or whine
Bark or whine
Bark or whine
Bark or whine ~ ?

Cry out in pain,
Or silently watch the rain ~ ?

Such mournful cries
And wails ~ ?

The dogs of New Orleans hurt,
The dogs of New Orleans cry out,
The dogs of New Orleans cry real tears.
The dogs of New Orleans bear clouds

In their eyes,
Their hearts realize
Their insanity laid upon them,
Their owners left them.

O, The Dogs of New Orleans
Bark in The Dark,

Cry mournfully out,
Water, water, everywhere, swim out,
Or drown ~

This land, no longer a town,
But a torrential flooded plain,
A stagnant sea, flooded with blood and pain ~ !

Bark or whine
Bark or whine ~ ?

Or silently watch the rain ...

Or silently cry more tears in pain ...

In a strict web of streets, of waterways
In which the clock tower gurgles and sways,
And there desire is freed from the body's prison."
