I feel like I've never read something quite like that from you, and it is quietly very wonderful and loudly skilled, not to mention historically and politically interesting. I didn't know that JC had written poetry. I think it's such a shame that the presidency of this good man (the first that I was really attentive to as a kid) isn't considered successful. I think the reason I love Barack so much is that he has proved that it's possible to be a decent and honorable person AND to be good leader.<br /><br />May Trump fall into the deep hole he has dug himself and never climb out.Heidi Mordhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16496427007514895950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-66442256322578651232016-10-08T23:15:23.597-04:002016-10-08T23:15:23.597-04:00Wow!

Love these lines: <br />"Finally, I reach you and you look at me,<br />at the signs of the butterfly<br />that won't stay long in this chrysalis," <br /><br />and the reference to his "paper-baby." <br /><br />Plus the butterfly is a beautiful poetic specimen in her own right!Violet N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16586574800230604652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-60990014537032232792016-10-07T17:50:16.585-04:002016-10-07T17:50:16.585-04:00This one I most definitely remember, Tabatha.

How nice that he wrote you back too, but I'm not surprised. There are little parts in your poem that sadden me, how he was so maligned as a president, I guess because he didn't play that awful political game. What an election time this is! Thanks for digging out just the perfect poem for us today!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-65372079452679543532016-10-07T10:11:13.773-04:002016-10-07T10:11:13.773-04:00This is beautiful, Tabatha.
