A Force For Good

A righteous man and force for good
was England’s William Wilberforce.
For those without a voice he stood,
a righteous man and force for good!
No other man of his time could
have fought so well and stayed the course!
A righteous man and force for good
was England’s William Wilberforce.

Ivor Kos Date: 5/14/2014 8:51:00 PM 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. Login to Reply

Matthew Anish Date: 4/23/2012 11:58:00 AM 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 Login to Reply

Jack Horne Date: 4/23/2012 11:31:00 AM 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 Login to Reply

Phyllis Babcock Date: 4/23/2012 11:02:00 AM 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 Login to Reply

Harry Horsman Date: 4/23/2012 9:48:00 AM 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 Login to Reply

Sara Kendrick Date: 4/23/2012 9:43:00 AM 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 Login to Reply
