A Force For Good

I thought "page 5, last poem". Not dissappointed. What a great idea is to read old submissions by the PROs at this Site. A fantastic tribute to Mr. Wilberforce. I'll fav this and use it for inspiration when I set to write my First triolet. I'm definitely coming back to your oldest poems soon.

that's a wonderful story poem, nice in form. I enjoyed reading it.God bless you. Hugs!Erich

Hi ,, Andrea,,, read your frog poems.. yesterday... now I'm here to read about this man... very righteous.. good always comes out on top... finally i posted a poem... not what i had in mind.. but, oh! well..... Thank you for sharing your wonderful poem, always~ PD

Interesting write here Andrea, and good to celebrate such a man i think i may try this form in a write.)

Hmmm Andrea Triolet! Don't make me think now. I promise though I will come back to ruminate on this poetry form. Thanks for visiting my work. I have been stuck on free verses lately due to time constriction. Love Dalila

Well, I'm coming after you Andrea dear, if this mans name comes flashing in mine head in one of my great arousing dreams ! *smiles* I'm sure at least, not going to forget this mans name, see'n ya rubbed it in with a 'Triolet' !LOL Great write dear poet ! Have a wonderful week Andrea....much love, james

An interesting write, Andrea! You have surely covered the highest qualities making him this unforgetable man! You are outstanding at filling us in with information and morals...thumbs up to you, Andrea! Best wishes, Mikki

Thank God for those who give a damn. Too bad his name aint Uncle Sam. We could use a man like that. In these times when the fat get fat.

you gave me a history lesson with this one Andrea ;) enjoyed it, especially the form you chose, love Wilma

England’s William Wilberforce was real man, so fought for good. Rare is seen like him. True information through wonderful poem. Thanks, loved always, bl

Have you seen the movie "Amazing Grace?" Oh, what a fantastic movie... eye opening. Liked this poem! Hugs, Cyndi

About someone I am not familiar with - I am something of a history buff but not that familiar with English history. Who was Mr. Wilberforce? I just entered a haiku contest at BMCC - $25 prize! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Lovely tribute to Wilberforce, Andrea. So glad you liked my attempts at your new forms - I tried Jan's Trijan Refrain today. Please tell her I thought it was an awesome form

Not up on who this guy was but will have to google and find out. All in a matter of opinion I guess as to what he did. Got me curious--love phyl

love the history lesson, a fitting poem to go with his exploits. Clepedest is an old middle english word, meaning 'Çall to me' it can be used loosly, or should i say i use it loosly in the poem, instead of the title being,'speak to me/tell me' i use Clepedest. i told you my favourite poet was W.H Davies, along with you of course. Why is 9/11 so significant in the problem with your school?. harry

I guess that I need to look him up..He must have been very interesting...Thanks for stopping by..Those frogs can be annoying sometimes but they ususally rest soon after the sun goes down but the tree frogs will sing when rain is about to happen and after a rain..The Whip-Poor-Will can sing all night but most of the time I don't hear him after I get sleepy...Sara

a prophet, in a way. but people of our day don't see it that way. thank you for your visit.

enjoyed reading your work....I have never heard of this gentleman...

A well written tribute Andrea!! Love the rhythm!! Keep it up...Love Diana
