One might carry the extrapolation further and regard Sandy as one of Mother Nature's emissary's just sent to remind us that she is fully capable of taking back what is hers any old time and we'd do well to remember her power and her wrath once she is truly angered ...it occurs to me. Your poem gave me lots to think about, maybe you can tell? I love it.<br /><br />http://thepoet-tree-house.blogspot.ca/2012/11/the-scent-of-maybe.htmlS.E.Ingrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02135141369161538082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819558801520044413.post-48073174078980147322012-11-27T05:23:18.916-08:002012-11-27T05:23:18.916-08:00suppose I referred to the "song of sense"...suppose I referred to the "song of sense" as sacrosanct -...appreciate the close reading...and can easily see your pointDr. Pearl Ketover Prilik (PKP)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15506538737806033824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819558801520044413.post-34218747098060969232012-11-27T04:58:57.018-08:002012-11-27T04:58:57.018-08:00I imagine that some would disagree with your descr...I imagine that some would disagree with your description of Sandy as "sacrosanct"!
