poem of the week - Umbrage

UMBRAGE

Taken, given:

friendships riven.                

From shadow or shade,

it instantly puts paid

to hard-won clarities

and causes us to freeze

up with unearned righteousness;

it makes us less.

How much better to combat it.

We should take umbrage at it.

Thank you to Irene Vukovich - I hope you send us poems from the freelance world. 

Today's song of the day is Squeeze's "Tempted".  It's worth waiting through the strange little intro.

song of the day - Baiana

Today's song of the day is Barbatuques "Baiana".  I can't pronounce the name of the song, but it's a really cool song and language skills never stop me.
