Quote:
I rack
my brain in vain
to find some good in war
only to conclude its just a
racket

One expects a rhyme at the end with the earlier rhymes, but one gets the association with "rack" rather than a rhyme on "war". That dissonance fits the subject well.

Frank,
I was going for an allusion to "Iraq" when I opened with 'I rack'. I imagine people realized that.
I've not read "A New Earth" but will likely order it. To be honest, I'm struggling with some of the teachings in "The Power of Now" even though I think he says many things that are true. But he teaches somethings that I either can't understand or just can't accept because they conflict with my own understandings of the teachings of Jesus. But I don't let that worry me when I read someone. I eat the fish and spit out the bones (so to speak).
I had written a cinquain triad yesterday on an envelope that I'd planned on posting, but seem to have lost it. I hope someone around here did not inadvertently toss it out.
