I read your superb poem, Julie, at Metrical and really liked it, and I had fun reading it again. Congrats!

Hi Julie,

I've never heard of Paula White, and I somehow missed seeing your poem when it was on Metrical, but, Wow! I really enjoyed reading it now.

Congratulations. It's superb, ...just as Martin said (and thanks for the link, Martin).

Jayne

If you compare the first draft in my workshop thread with the final product, my tremendous debt to those who commented on what worked and what didn't is obvious. Thank you, Team Eratosphere!

(Don't miss Michael L. Ruffin's quieter little poem, also posted at the New Verse News today, which makes a similar but somewhat different point about religious hypocrisy:

Good one, Julie. I scrolled back a few days and saw good poems there by Chris O'Carroll and Richard Meyer, too.
