A rocky road we now walk


A rocky road we now walk
our nation is right and true
to rid the world of a seven headed snake
to help that nation of people as well

We pray our troops to protect
and return intact to home
their families will not sob
because their sons aren't
coming home

We hold our nation high in prayer
our leaders kneel with us there in prayer

We walk a rough and rocky
road oh Lord hear our silent cry...

An Enigma An Enigma
by Edgar Allan Poe

"Seldom we find," says Solomon Don Dunce,
"Half an idea in the profoundest sonnet.
Through all the flimsy things we see at once
As easily as through a Naples bonnet-
Trash of all trash!- how can a lady don it?
Yet heavier far than your Petrarchan stuff-
Owl-downy nonsense that the faintest puff
Twirls into trunk-paper the while you con it."
And, veritably, Sol is right enough.
The general tuckermanities are arrant
Bubbles- ephemeral and so transparent-
But this is, now- you may depend upon it-
Stable, opaque, immortal- all by dint
Of the dear names that he concealed within 't.

Oh my! Enigma!

Poe takes a person in. I just walked in and to see this, I must share that as I am looking direct out my window at several big fat ravens and in my mind I`m hearing rapping tapping! This makes it very hard to come into Enigma when I am hearing cadence to the Raven! One has to really ponder Poe`s writings. What a brilliant writer he was. I wonder what he might have done in later years with this tremendous gift. I am now thinking of The Bells. I remember this one from years ago, taking me on a ride into sound. If any writing can do this The Bells does it.
I have been writing about sound and no sound for two weeks, the contrast of sound. Thank you for posting this. Tonight I will read again, The Bells.
He is brilliant.

Wonderful graphic for this too. Very fitting.

Care to comment on this poem Enigma? I am curious about it, how you came upon it today.

I need to become a figment and get a bite to eat. I have Ludwig kitty too. ;)

Poe is one of my very favorite poets. I was looking for a poem to post to add to the new thread. I saw many poems by classic poets, but this one "took" me in so to speak.

I then discovered I needed a graphic for it. I was fortunate enough to have this one in my closet.

On another note, I have been searching for the song Deep Purple sung by Jackie Wilson for weeks now. I have never heard any one sing that song as Jackie Wilson does. Just moves me to the core.

Well can't find the song by the Jackie.
Oh MM, I heard Vincent Price read the Raven and The Bells at a poetry convention years ago in Florida.
