Something about you

[nibbed]

Hi Achebe. I like your pronounciation much better than the one I was using. It seems cleaner, more orderly. Thanks for telling me. I don't like the Left Behind series because it takes lovely poetic Scripture, twists and deliberately leads people into directions and thoughts that may not be so accurate and so folks walk away with tunnel vision, void of the Holy Spirit speaking truth. Though Left Behind is only fiction, it's one of those things that cheapens faith through profit. Still, I guess many people enjoy it, but I don't.

I did wonder something else about your poem, though! 


Something about you                                                 
this morning, with the roses
blown delicately in the early winter                                 -I read regret here, more a softer regret, though
gardens, came to my mind.
My thoughts have nothing to do but amble,                
on a dawn bus ride                                                        -great metaphor, better than just "at dawn".
past backyard and bramble,
through a fog bound city,                                              -fog bound, another great metaphor for chained in darkness
its blackened brick walls                                                  -why were the walls blackened, shouldn't it be darkened?
left behind.                                                                      I guess when I think of city walls, I think of graffiti, have the walls been covered so an artist
Something about it, this morning, in the gardens             cannot paint? It really seemed to complete my thoughts about Left Behind!
came to mind.



Beautiful poem!
Thanks again for a wonderful
thought provoking read.
It actually blessed me in a special way
and made me remember something
important.
