    I think I know what you mean in this poem. Is the Deathly needle one filled with heroin? Or is it a way something else? Thank you for your kind remarks. Eddie Birchmore was an African American poet and for quite a while ran a good reading. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

    The message is quite clear in your Tanka, Lynette,good job. Thank you for your awesome support of my Blog. Yes, as you have experienced in reading my blog, the same anointing that gave the revelation, stays in the revelation and reveals it to the reader. That is the anointing of the Agape, Spirit.Agape is awesome. Moses

    earl Cole? I wish I could remember which survivor that was. My memory is so short. Just catching up on remarks you made to my poems when I was gone. About two years ago a young gay kid won survivor. He was from my town! Oh, about my Parsley (love poem). it was not true. ARe you kidding? I would not have let such a guy as that get away. haha. LUv, andrea
