| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 03/28/05 at 03:10 PM a unique take on spirituality here. Fun and a real slice of everyday life. |
| Posted by Charlie Morgan on 03/28/05 at 07:31 PM ...chris, i'm with maureen on this one...such a good VERY SERIOUS tongue-in-cheek to all us on this orb...we're soooo worried about a 3-day weekend, yet totally unappreciable for a 20,000 day life here on Earth...loved it!, been missing your posts...peace, chaz |
| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 03/31/05 at 12:39 PM You've insightfully pictured the gross materialism of this day. There is an irreverence in natural man that slanders God to the point of blasphemy. Scary really! |
| Posted by David R Spellman on 04/02/05 at 04:02 PM Quite the interesting twists of analogy and metaphor in this social commentary. Your own keen and unique perspective shines through once again! |
| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 04/03/05 at 09:33 AM Great Insightful Poems for 1000, Alex..and the answer is already obvious! Good one Chris..and the topic sublimely perfect! |
| Posted by Sarah Graves on 04/05/05 at 06:34 PM I really like how you weave the divine with well, the game of jeopardy.. :) Very clever take on this idea. Great work.. |
| Posted by Morgan D Hafele on 04/06/05 at 03:29 AM damn that final jeopardy! actually, i don't watch the show, but it's a refreshing take on the topic. i think i'll skip on the jeopardy though. great read as always chris. |
| Posted by Rusty C Arquette on 04/06/05 at 11:19 AM It's interesting to note that the fallen gods of the new millenium have an after life hawking products on TV...It makes me wonder what those other spiritual icons of yore might have contracted to pitch?...I'll let you use your vivid imagination to speculate. - Well done Mr. S., most enjoyable and thought provoking - RCat (I'll take 'Big Breasted Women' for $500..oh look, it's a 'Daily Double,' how fitting!)(grin) |
| Posted by Christina Bruno on 04/09/05 at 01:37 AM *claps* Chris you are the man! This piece is awesome, and your number one! I hope you stay there! |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 04/10/05 at 01:47 PM Who would have thought that a game show could be a vehicle for commentary on life, death, and resurrection? Only a poet such as you, Chris. Tasty irony here. |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 04/14/05 at 08:33 AM When I used to watch Jeopardy, I'd snap off the answers and think, gee, I can do better than that man or woman. HA! I think that's what Ken Jennings thought, too. Good tongue-in-cheek look at "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat"!
