Rape of the Sabine Women
MendedFences27 said:
Mythologically, this could be a scene between Jupiter and Terra Mater with Jupiter appalled by the actions of the Romans. As written, I see it as an encounter between a Roman soldier and a Sabine woman. What followed were years of many wars and expansion of the Roman Empire. In today\'s parlance it is an example of sexual harassment of women. Will it ever be otherwise? A real eye-opener this one. - Phil A.

Rape of the Sabine Women
Fay Slimm. said:
Outrageously kidnaped and then often raped these women raised the hackles of many a painter or writer and gave Roman soldiers a history of eternal shame that others have unfortunately followed time and again since then..... oooh am on my soapbox after reading your vivid pen-painting of those Sabine victims. Romulus had a lot to answer for methinks amigo eh ?..............x

A Sure Sign of His Passing
MendedFences27 said:
A \"cold,\" \"empty and bare,\" home \"a sure sign of his passing\" - these lines
indicate to me that he \"passed\" a long time ago. No longer recognizable as human. A most unfortunate and unhappy person, despised by all who knew him. Makes one wonder why. What destroyed this creature? What events in his life brought him to this miserable end? No sympathy though, we are all tested disproportionately, and some do not survive. - Phil A.

I want no credit for my life. I\'ll pass judgement on it myself (credits though for those who may have helped me along the way...)
Pretty sure you don\'t worry too much, Nev.

Good question, Nev. Ofttimes it more than determines your own path way in life (although there can be a refusal admit to that). And of course, there are exceptions.......

To have passed and no body cared or grieved must surely be the result of being feared -- -- he was better off the scene methinks mon ami.

Hi Neville, this is superb!
Your observations, infatuations, and emotions are all delicately displayed in this poem.
It\'s like seeing without having to open your eyes - something otherworldly, and mutual

This is a poem to truly dive into head first, and be immersed in the richness of sensuous words. There can be no doubt but that it is personal and dear. Thank you for sharing the fervor.
