A most poignant poem written in great metaphor. As a psychologist I believe as you we all suffer from our own mental illness to greater or lessor degrees and we need to be sensitive to others. A beautiful wirte

These are very charming and all the more too delightful thus rendered in tasteful bite-size senryu stanzas. I love it! Winsome with a subtle, joyous poignancy in tow, haunted by the sense I can\'t pin down, it\'s too beautiful with excellent imagery. Thank you very much for sharing!

Beneath the Surgical Sky

As I read this I think of an onion the surface shell then another beneath and another until reaching center there is no more. Thought provoking with strong imagery that evokes strong visceral reactions.

Ice Lions

A lovely picture crafted with care and consistent without. Open to interpretation, it hit me as a metaphor for relationships. Although the weather seems fine around them when it comes to speech or communication everything freezes up causing tremendous pain and spliting, fracturing the relationship. (lover\'s mouths\' a frosty drain, Outpouring bloody ice spears, Their eyes instantly insane)

For anyone reading and interested in checking out the research:
Here is where you can find the full Billy Graham quote taken from a crusade he held in Denver, CO in 1987:
\"I\'m trying to stay out of it and just keep preaching the gospel, because there\'s nothing coming out of Washington or any of those places that are going to save the world or transform men and women. It\'s Christ.\" — Billy Graham,
https://youtu.be/fxmkczQfq58?si=kQCgGproj0O00ny9&t=1687
I also quoted Franklin Graham in an August 14, 2024 tweet on X (formerly Twitter), where he said: \"The liberals are using anything and everything they can to promote candidate Harris. They even developed a political ad trying to use my father @BillyGraham\'s image. They are trying to mislead people. Maybe they don\'t know that my father appreciated the conservative values and policies of President @realDonaldTrump in 2016, and if he were alive today, my father\'s views and opinions would not have changed.\"
This can be found: https://x.com/Franklin_Graham/status/1823870957259309221
And of course, I quoted the KJV of Revelation 2:4-5:
\"Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.\"
I wrote this poem in a way that juxtaposes Franklin Graham\'s more politically-charged focus with his father\'s clear, and well-articulated position of \"staying out\" of partisan politics and sticking preaching the Gospel, which he was well-known and well-respected for doing. This juxtaposition, along with the addition of Scripture, makes up the critique.

The alliteration in the second half had me--butterflies have a special place in my heart. This poem is truly one of the best ones I\'ve ever read. You are quite the talented writer and it\'s amazing.
