Glad your revision of the Gulf poem was posted on Poets for Living Waters.<br /><br />This poem is beautiful but I would like to see you post it on our group; like your original Gulf poem it may try to do a bit too much and it is so very beautiful and has so much to say about tyranny, oppression, living in fear. xjjenhttp://loquaciouslyyours.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-62064413786606476172010-03-10T20:08:34.326-05:002010-03-10T20:08:34.326-05:00Your words are so expressive, and contain so much ...Your words are so expressive, and contain so much experience in such a small format.

Liseanne has always been entranced with the stories of hope and faith and goodness during WW2.

I overuse love, too, but I love the way you pulled this together. Thank you. I wonder if Anne knew quite what impact her diary would have. Anne is always somewhere in my head when I write.

It was crowded, but the silence was profound. To see the rooms where the eight people lived, left much the same way as they were, is to see eight lives constricted and contained. And yet to see a place where eight people hid is also to see hope.<br /><br />This brought it all back.Glynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802111972232088511noreply@blogger.com
