This poem is a tribute to a little girl who was killed recently in a new 'conflict ' It is also a tribute to her father whose grief was so raw it spoke to the world. If only the 'leaders of the countries involved' would listen to that fathers grief

Rose, such a sad poem. In few words you say so much

Hello Chips Thanks for the lovely compliment.I saw this very sad story on the news,her father was so grief stricken.It was heart breaking to see. I felt I had to write a tribute to that little child and her father. Best wishes Rose xx

I apologize for that mistake. I owe you an explanation, please don't worry I'm not a 'multiple poster' or a ' troll ' I came to h2g2 from the Radio 4 Messageboards. I had to change my nickname to Rose-quartz to join h2g2 'Officially' Rose x

Sibs and Rose are the same person

I hope you have forgiven me I have no wish to decieve anyone,especially you. I still remember your very kind comments on my poem 'The Pearl' in 'Poetry Conversation' I still use 'Sibford' for the Poetry Corner Messageboard. Best wishes Rose x

There is nothing to forgive, Rose

I'll try to find you on the poetry board. I like R4, it's a good forum

xx

Hello Chips, Thankyou, you have eased my mind,I was worried about ' my identity crisis' as I didn't want to be mistaken for a 'troll' I f you're interested in visiting 'Poetry Corner' click on 'sibford' &then click on 'Stolen Tears' from 'Arts' Rxx

Hello Chips, Just a quick ps. Those 'links' should take you straight there, there are plenty of good poems to read and you can also write poetry or comment on poems I've brought you some ice cold lemonade, for your journey therex

Thank you Rose. And for the

I took a peek some time ago at the poetry corner. You all seem to get on well. But, thanks for the invitation, and I hopefully I'll pop by.

Oh, just a thought, I'll have to set up another account won't I ?

Hello Chips, On the poetry corner membership info,it says you only have to sign in once for all sites.I know though that doesn't apply to h2g2 as I found out,but I once 'posted' on the culture thread as rose quartz.so you should be ok Rose x

Thanks Rose. Better watch my ps and qs on the Arts board

Oh! You've made me If you had seen what was 'floating' about a couple of weeks ago when we had a troll 'winterwasp' invasion,you might have blushed he has gone 'for now' but there are still a couple of 'learner trolls' hovering (I think)

I do know what you mean

Those trolls get everywhere

They get on my nerves

I know what you mean,its usually not to bad on 'Poetry Corner' but this one was 'really bad' he invaded every board under several guises&was 'really nasty to everybody.They're using numbers now that you can check to see who people are. Rose xx

I know

I have written a list of the numbers of the people I know I can trust, so I think I've become an 'official saddo' but it did help at the time. Best wishes Rose xx

Some people I trust.

With others its mind games - 'I know that you know that I know you know'

Bye. Another hot day, keep the iced lemonade coming

Wow.

This is what poetry should be. Thank you for sharing.
