Poetess

Poetess Cousin - four generations removed E Pauline Johnson There was once, this unbelievable Lady, of great source, who travelled this great earth, as a matter of life’s coarse, carrying with her, a heritage of great, wondrous force. To the world – then and now – she brought the word onto two continents – Kings and Queens, fortunate, heard of the life and times of her people and how hard the road for many, even for this bard who told, preformed, of beauty, degradation in this land, told of the heroics, the genocide of the first, the red man. This Lady, of integrity, honesty, great soul came to stand for – what there is so little of, from mans deceptive hand as we trample upon much of what once was noble, human and the coarse, the source, the force that could make us so humane – especially at a time in this worlds long history where hate, prejudice, greed rule – could we let it all go ? This was a Beautiful Lady, who performed, wrote a story B. J. “A” 2 February 1st 2009

Thank you Judy Konos for your thoughtfulness and kind comments. As for considering entering anything I have done, in any other place than this one, I have to admit that I have not. My blog ( http://bja2-anoldsoul.blogspot.com ) and Poetrysoup, along with daily life, keep this old man quite occupied and besides, being most computer illiterate, example can not even figure out how to put a photo on or to centre my stuff. I do believe that I have dated each entry and left my initionals. Thank you again Judy, and I will “ take care ” Bill -William J Atfield Jr – ( B. J. “A” 2 )
