Welcome Home
It’s far too little and too late to soothe the soul or expiate the guilt of others long ago who cursed and spit a harsh hello at those whom death had spared its fate. No fine parades to celebrate or thank-you parties where they’d go in honor and be called “hero”. It’s far behind me now and I feel great but when it happens, I debate a curt response to let them know my inner thoughts. Their verbal blow brings back the memories I hate. It’s far too little and too late! ·······  ·······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.

Hi Lori,
Wondered where you were. I answered your X10 for October 31 some time ago and didn't see any indication that anyone else answered it but me. It is also a Rondeau. I've been having some fun with them lately. Hear it is going to be frigid up in your neck of the woods so stay warm and thank you for dropping by for a read and comment.
