Within the swamp are brackish pools
where gators wait for food and fools from towns and cities far away. Sometimes they stumble in to stay and ripen where the gator drools but that’s not taught in any schools. With knowledge and the proper tools some folks can work or live and play within the swamp. My friend gets rich. He and his mules go out to where bald cypress rules and finds old sunken logs which pay their weight in gold. Without decay these fallen giants are nature’s jewels within the swamp. Here it is Daniel, comment or crit at your leisure! 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.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers. Larry D. Jennings MM Award Winner       |
