On my blog I've been studying what I've been calling God's Comeback Kids. Presently, I'm dealing with David and have only recently come again across the dowry which Saul asked for Michal's hand. David doubled the "asking price." You handled that crude exchange very delicately and with well chosen words. If you have time,you're welcome to drop by and see how I'm trying to deal with his fall and return.

I've often felt that she was insanely jealous. When David returned from his long exile with another wife. Was she angry that he never returned for her? That his passion for her did not equal hers for him? She was given to another man in marriage. Yet, her heart must have yearned for him to return and claim her.<br /><br />Thanks for igniting my imagination once again, Glynn!

"My spit of contempt/With its tongued/Dagger point" (this last creates for me an image of an asp). Your imagery has become very strong in this poem, the words' meanings multiplied. <br /><br />Writing a poem like this, you let your talent shine.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.com
