Robert A. Dufresne Poet Tetractys

God's Pure Lanterns

.                                               I
                                           AM WHO
                                           Continue
                                        To create all
                        My children in My image and likeness

                        Why do you insist on murdering them?
                                  These, My prophets,
                                          babies? I
                                           Am Who
                                              AM

Caroline Cécile Delacroix December 13, 2009 at 10:27 PM Very cool lantern and a great statement, thought provoking write, Robert, yes indeed why insisting on murdering. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your great comments on my poems. Love and Blessings, Caroline.

Colleen Bono December 13, 2009 at 8:36 PM I like this.I have a new poem posted.

Carolyn Devonshire December 13, 2009 at 1:48 PM Truly an inspiring write, Robert. Wish the violence would end for each life we take is a gift stolen from God's creation. Very compelling message in this one. And thanks for your kind words on "Disposable Wisdom." It is my personal favorite so your comments meant a great deal to me. Annie has been gone for a long time, but I hate the way we treat our military members and their neglected spouses. Merry Christmas! Love, Carolyn

Mary Meade Stephenson December 13, 2009 at 12:28 PM A superb write for a Glorious Sunday Robert..uplifting and a joy to read! Thanks so much for sharing and for your always kind comments~Mary

Jim Fish December 13, 2009 at 8:53 AM Hi Robert, This may not be my poetic form of interest but I certainly like your message and artistic expression. Oh, thanks again for your encouragement. I'm still contemplating your last installment of our Truth exchange and have not been back on PoetrySoup due to a couple out of town trips and trying to catch up before Xmas is here. I do so enjoy my Sundays on Poetry Soup and have missed them greatly.

Linda-Marie Sweetheart December 13, 2009 at 7:39 AM WOW what powerful words this Sunday, Robert.. I just posted a lanterne poem .. we must all be on the same wave length with the Spirit of God inspiring various poets this morning.. such great connections... blessings... luv... Linda-Marie "Sweetheart" of P.S.

Sara Kendrick December 13, 2009 at 7:03 AM Very conscience raising write in this one. When I think of murder, I think of not only actual death but the tongue that can murder with words. Thanks for reminding me of this. Keep your creative and magical pen flowing. Thanks for the kind comment on my work "Gifted and Blessed". Sara
