I have a friend who has been out of a job for months and she has had the worst time in particular with her family, and endure those kind of words and being seen as lazy or not making the effort. They just need people to believe in them, to be patient, help them out by looking out for them; definitely not looking for a handout. <br /><br />- Ravenblack<br />http://theotherdayplace.blogspot.comRavenblackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408808375869234480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884360193624478106.post-16906281907031463372011-10-24T15:50:34.714-04:002011-10-24T15:50:34.714-04:00how playful om him.

Truly a reality for many today. <br /><br />Mark, what I meant by not a true poetry format, is that it is not a known structured format such as quatrain, triolet, or villanelle. This has "rhyme" and a bit of meter, but the meter and syllable count is not even consistent from line to line. Those are the specifics of why I say not a true poetry format, as I know just rhyme does not a poem make. Sometimes I just have to write what's in my head, but feel that if it is not a true format, it cannot be called poetry, and could easily be critically picked apart as such.<br />Am so glad you all appreciated it "as is."Ginny Brannanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298060016652737538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884360193624478106.post-87362166880663172982011-10-23T16:51:37.139-04:002011-10-23T16:51:37.139-04:00interesting. the 'other' on yet another&#...interesting. the 'other' on yet another's dime.<br />idea of the 'broken man' in desperate need of help -- not asking for charity.

I admire the group of people giving a hand to these poor and displaced members of our community. Sometimes, all they need is just a hand to bring them up.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03330793338813508704noreply@blogger.com
