PRELIMINARY NOTE FOR GROUP TWO: At the November 4 critique
session of
BOE, the following acrostic trilogy received from the larger
group only a
critique from Leonard and a little from a second person. Since
I know
Leonard had a couple of questions about this piece and since
none of the rest
of you offered a critique of this three-part poem of only 27
lines and 61
words, I am submitting the piece for our critique session of
November 29.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">
If you want some hints concerning one interpretation of each of
the three
acrostics, refer to the note after the trilogy (after the second
set of four
asterisks of my placement). If you wish, you may ask me a
question via
e-mail to facilitate your preparing a critique. Having written
this offer,
I do understand that if a poem or a joke has to be explained,
the poem or joke
is not really well done. Nevertheless, the following lines are
meaningful
to me: I have even used the first acrostic as a prayer. In
general,
I suggest that you do not try to focus too heavily on the word
"humanity" in initial readings. Additionally, I recommend that
in early readings of the very short piece, you do not try to
find the
connection among the three parts. These two points may come
later.</p>

If you want some hints of explanation about the above acrostics,
please read
on. If you prefer no explanation or hint, stop reading this
section.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Part
1. This acrostic prayer is a plea to someone who is losing
significant
physical, emotional, and/or spiritual strength to hang on to
life until
"his time" or "her time" comes as predestined. How do
the angels come for a lost soul? The angels do finally come
with the
sadness of teardrops and into the tiredness of yawns.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Part
2. If we are too soft--too tender--how can we comprehend people
who are
trying to show us how to avoid negativity, negative people? At
the
"crossroads" of negative and positive attitudes, we cannot
bolster
humanity if we ignore the negativity and take another easier,
yet less
admirable path.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Part
3. Hope allows miracles; hope helps us to deal with the hard
times of
life. "Yearbook" can refer to a high school yearbook or the
yearbook
of each year of a person's life.</p>
