moving portrayal of the future for some i suppose. i can't help but wonder what was behind the fight. it sounds a bit like it was an accepted (by the boys) part of the curriculum! i'll send this one to MyPoemList. well reported! ============================= p.s. care to send this or any other poem to be in my February or March showcase? just send the title(s) to me for A Showcase For PH Poets. Here is what i have so far for February. there is no firm end date for submissions, but maybe not later than the first week in March for this showcase. then i'll put together a new one, and poets again will be able to submit a poem (or two) .. bri ;) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1.
