Quoted In The Grove:
Learn from me, if not by my precepts, then by my example, how dangerous is the pursuit of knowledge and how much happier is that man who believes his native town to be the world than he who aspires to be greater than his nature will allow.
~Mary Wollstonecraft
One’s native land! There should one live! There die!
~Jules Verne
Do not use that foreign word ‘ideals.’ We have that excellent native word ‘lies.’
~Henrik Ibsen
EndQuote:
Tell me anyway–maybe I can find the truth by comparing the lies.
~Leon Trotsky

Prewritten: fawn, vow
~BarTalk
Disney
A mother lies dead
Sacrificed to greatness
Her son a fawn in fright
Quakes in dappled light
Too young to vow revenge
~
Casualties
Blinded by bright lights
Caught in the headlights
Antlered stag, fawn a doe
Three Dead, the headline
John, Jane and Baby Doe
~
Oratory
Sound the round vowels
Fondle voluptuous words
Test for rhythm and verse
Taste Word Stew for truth
Swallow hard to believe
~
Fie On Them
Not fond of the fawn in fawning
Nor dread of the dead
The mourning on waking each morning
But on bended knee vow
Swear to nevermore bow
To cravings that haunt
Leave nothing behind that’s rewarding
~
5-7-5 x 4
star of stage and screen
disavows latest rumors
fawning fans agree
~
abandon conscience
vowing oaths of allegiance
fawning works for some
~
dead deer strewn roadside
somewhere a fawn waits to die
nature’s course avowed
~
fawn on the lawn
sharp hooves, mother deer nearby
doe’s vow, dog gone now
~
vows of loyalty
obsequiously fawning
repaid with contempt
