Poetry Soup 2010

P unchbowl of literature
O ffering gifts of
E loquence and rhetoric
T his emancipation of candour
R evitalized in common goals when
Y ielding seeds of open-mindness

S pecifications spontaneously unshackled
O pression outlawed; this is indeed the
U nreservenly unremittingly
P alace of purposefulness!

Another top notch write, Harry. Congratulations! I'd like to borrow your Australian muse for awhile, if I might. By the way, kudos to the Aussie athletes who did so well in the summer Olympics. Great performances. Cheers, Brian
