OUR SAVIOUR FROM THE TORIES
(6 May 2010, general election date announced) Sad profile of my bank account, the complete texture of my life; He’s sheltered me from much self-harm by taxes, excised with state knife. With His moonlight, in soft focus, He spin doctors and tells us lies; on balance I’m much better off. Oh look, there is a pig that flies ! In short cameo performance, He pretends he’s minister, Prime, dispelling my prosperity : Please, River Thames, drown His foul crime. Alan McAlpine Douglas Challenge words : profile texture shelter moonlight balance cameo dispel river ·······  ······· |

Hey Alan,
Nice use of the given words. Sometimes one or two of the words will coincide with a current thought and, Ta-Dah! A poem appears from the recesses of our outrage and gives one a cathartic release to our ongoing frustrations. Only one small nit "short one syl in the last line"! Perhaps add "foul" before "crime"! I haven't been to the weekly/monthly/10 word challenges lately. I shall return when things slow down around my house a bit. Don't want to burden anyone with the who's or why's. Note to Everyone: PLAY NICE!!! Larry ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
