I told Niall to come over here to...Hello,everybody. I told Niall to come over here to see the comments, particularly about turning it into a children's book. This is his response:<br /><br />Great comments Rosemary, and thank you again. Your readers are very perceptive, because the voice I was conscious of using when writing it, was the voice of the entertainer, with children for an audience. I wanted to juxtapose the sad with the happy, and sneak past the resistance we have all built up through over exposure. Sadly, like many poets, I can only illustrate with words . . . so its over to somebody else for that project!

Yes --- the name EARTH says it all.<br /><br />I don't know that poetry can save the world, but I think at least it can do consciousness raising in a small part of the world.
