    Hello Eudaimonia,

    Oh, fine rapture,
    words that capture.

    Memories of moments,
    elations and foments.

    The poet’s day is won,
    the poems now all sung.



    Bravo!
    O.A.

    “An Accounting” was my favorite thus far.

    Oh Humble Hero! :-) I can see this above a door somewhere:

    "In all I work, in all I think,
    in all I rest and play,
    I try to stay true to myself
    and out of others' way."

    It did not occur to my little dino mind to look back at all your satires until this post. I will.
    Right now I need to get over the urge to go berserk over the concept of an Obama statue in every town.
    Such would all deserve a movie monster attack with any worshipers found sent running and screaming.
    I'll look beyond the tyrant's birthday bit a little later.
    Pnat! Pant! Obama statues nationwide. OMG!

    Thanks, K.
    That's a lot of the reason why I did the audio.
    I think when people read the pieces the whole sarcastic indignation of Juvenalian satire doesn't readily come across.

    Even Joan, who is as familiar with these pieces as anyone commented that the audio enhances the impact of each piece.

    Yes and no.
    I've been doing these recordings now for about three weeks, a couple of hours at a time.
    I don't have a sound room, so I had to wait for times when everyone in the house was quiet.
