Red Dirt Unearthed

The Mad Poet by Michael Whelan


Shoe freak; fellow poet (and self-confessed blog thief) Red Dirt Girl has posted this enlightening advice entitled Thirty-two Statements About Writing Poetry by Marvin Bell

Statements 8, 10 & 19 are my favourites.

While I'm on the subject of poetry, please visit The Dread Letter Office where I have collected all the poems from The Far Queue - alphabetically and in one handy parchment bundle.

Hate The Rich




Over at Counterpunch, another Red Dirt girl, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, urges us to Hate the Rich !

Oh, alright then...

Red Right Hand

Spreading death and destruction in the name of freedom and democracy

Blackwater first caught the light when four of it's 'contractors' were killed and dragged through the streets of Falluja; an event that sparked the most atrocious act of military revenge in recent history.
Jeremy Scahill reveals the dirty rise of Blackwater over on gnn.

Ah Pisces,

You DO have a way with words (even as I light fingered have my way with yours!)

I would curtsy but being a shoe freak, I would tip over in my stilettos......so i will nod my head gracefully and gratefully for your kind and HONEST acknowledgment.

I do so LOVE the color red.....
