Homework we 16th April

Post by Wendy Seddon » Thu Mar 29, 2018 11:38 am

Armed up to his poisoned teeth,
the devil rages on.
Destructive weapons of his choice...
are loose lips and forked tongue.
Tragedy at every turn,
so many nations weep...
ancient holy parchment texts
lie rotting in a heap!

Good one Owly - might want to correct the typo to tragedy - otherwise it makes it just too tragic :lol:

Good on you Wendy. Perhaps at Easter we ask Pilate's question " What is truth " unlike Pilate we have been told the answer.

It doesn't take a lot of words to make your point does it Wendy.
And you have managed that well here.
