Humphrey on 04/04/11 at 09:07 PM Monuments are for the living as if building them will make us better in the long run, not sure that happens, ask the Indian on the capitol building here is he really guarding our state or watching as we build more casinos...I love your poem. smh |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 04/10/11 at 12:22 PM no one reaps more from his contemplative moods than you, George. you've done some fine reaping here my friend. with these words, you serve up your usual extraordinary plate upon which to contemplate. |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 05/15/11 at 03:38 AM I like the allusion to tall buildings. Having worked in downtown Dallas for 35 yrs. they have a special meaning to me, especially after 911. I have called them monuments to capitalism, but they also assert our search for meaning and importance, permanence and hope. I, like what Charlie said and love those last two lines. Thanks, man. |

| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 06/27/11 at 11:09 PM those first four lines, George...exquisite! |
| Posted by Kristine Briese on 07/22/11 at 04:40 PM I'm with Ken; those first four lines are devastating. The rest of the poem is also wonderful. |
