Good afternoon Larry - what an excellent use of the, 'given words'! The seams didn't show at all. It seems that not everyone is familiar with the Challenges in Pandora, and failed to realize that you were constrained by those self same given words. It was good to see your answer to the Pandora Challenge published in Hermes - but maybe you could consider adding the Challenge words at the end of your poem. I certainly agree with your expressed distaste for those who seek to force their own particular brand of religion upon the credulous, and even casual passers-by; and their certainty that they alone have, ' Got the Truth.' I stumbled a little on the word - dispel, but can't remember if that was one of the Challenge words. To my mind, 'dispel' means to drive out, chase away etc. But it is a clever, and even more importantly, completely comprehensible poem! Leo
