[bodytext] => A heroes’ welcome The Ethos reckons She is as lovely as the spring air As she walks calmly in the midst of the street-fair She shops for scarves and jewelry with a palate for flair Melodramatic with a conservative touch of ribbon tied hair She is as gracious as the ballerina of the famed dance She glides in mysterious movements supplanting her trance With majestic weavings she combines with souls and leaps from holes As she melts into palms and is fortified with guarded hounds She is as generous as the charities which feed the naked As she drops coins by peddling children forced to beg in chains As she offers clothing to a stranger with third degree burns As she turns to the eccentric shawls of silk in colors reds and gold _________________ ________________________ [comments] => 2 [counter] => 308 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Mangos [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
