A tribute to the attributes
attributed that day
to the tribune, in the tribunal
which studied the affray
of tribulation, trouble
in the tribe that lived
far down
along the tributary,
where turbulent brutality
had spread,
and battle bravery, cool head
and kindness
turned violence to tolerance
and beneficent benefit
instead.

WOW...Rhiannon...such a lovely play on words, as Peter Piper might have saidsmiley  Such an original and wry take on the IP.

Thanks, Tina. Not thinking of a direct verse on the IP, these 'similar' words kept burbling around in my head, and gradually working together! Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon

I'll bet you had a lot of fun writing this. It is so clever, how you take a word, and stretch and turn it and fiddle with it until she make a story out of it.

Thanks, Jean. Yes, I did, and was surprised how many words came to mind and sort-of fitted together too. Rhiannon
