Some Stuff About Me:

I'm a Minnesota Girl, living in the south. I tell my friends I try not to talk and think like a Yankee, but sometimes I slip up!

6 YEARS LATER


A full 6 years into the war in Iraq....


I go back to a poem I wrote, in Triolet form, at the outset:




Fires of Outrage

Fires of outrage
Kindled in the shadow of apathy
Of those who stand idly by, watching as the world tips, then tumbles.


Fires of outrage
Self-inflicted despair dancing with irony
Cursing ourselves for seeking hope; a thing of the past.


Fires of outrage
Kindled in the shadow of apathy
.
