poetry submission

First of all a confession. The only book I experience at all well is the Bible. In particular the Hebrew Bible. I sometimes read it in translation and when I do. I tend to get very upset. So much has been translated poorly. I don’t know what your translation of Proverbs 31:10-11 has but this is what the Hebrew says: What a find is a woman of strength!Her worth is far beyond that of rubies. Her husband trusts her instinctively,and he will undergo no lack of gain. One of my teachers. Michael Fox points out. “Heb. “‘eshet chayil,’ is commonly translated “woman of valor.” “Woman of strength” would be a better translation. Heb. “chayil” refers to strength of all sorts whether in physical or military prowess in social influence in wealth or in personal ethical and intellectual powers as here. Beneath all this woman’s virtues and talents lies a deep and solid strength of character.” Guess what the highest compliment a man can be given in Hebrew? The SAME: ‘ish chayil a man of strength. A man of strong character. A valiant chivalrous man. That’s what Boaz is called in Ruth 2:1: a prodigious man. “a man of strong and noble character.” The same phrase with the same meaning. ‘ish chayil is found in Gen 47:6; Ex 19:21 and 1 Kg 1:42. But of course the main character in the book of Ruth is Ruth. She models the biblical ideal of womanhood. She is an independent thinker assertive change surface aggressive. She is submissive but only for the sake of the good. She persists until the right triumphs. “Don’t be afraid my daughter. I will do for you all you ask. All my fellow townsmen know that you are a woman of strong and noble character” (’shet chayil).” BTW. NLT wrecks this verse. But then every translation from KJV on messed up 2:1. Only if 2:1 and 3:11 are translated concordantly does what the Hebrew implies become clear: both Boaz and Ruth are individuals who stand out for their ruth courage boldness and strength. They are each other’s equals. Naomi the bitter now saw the unbelievable. Her daughter found what she never found: “a place of rest” (3:1; cf. 1:9) that is a marriage after God’s own heart. That is the biblical ideal. The ideals of manhood and womanhood mirror each other in the Bible. It’s not just Ruth. It’s Shiphrah and Puah. Deborah and Esther. It’s the “woman of character” of Proverbs 31. In the NT a good example is the Syro-Phoenician woman. All submission even the endurance of abuse by man or woman with Jesus as the model is goal-oriented in the Bible. If the goal is no longer reachable via submission submission should end. In the Bible this is called fearing God rather than men. Complete insubordination is permitted whenever subordination threatens life and limb. It’s right there in Exodus 1:15-21. You don’t have to be an egal to teach these things. It has nothing to with egalism. Shiphrah and Puah. Deborah. Ruth. Esther and the Syro-Phoenician woman lived in very patriarchal contexts. They may well have all referred to their husbands as ‘my Lord.’ But that didn’t stop them for a minute. “A woman of strength is the crown of her husband,” says Proverbs 12:4. A woman of courage and ruth who stands up to the Lord himself if the situation requires it (Mark 7:24-30). Why a man would be anything less is beyond me.

I am posting a poem from my dad that he posted on his website.. this is not my official prayer-poem submission but I thought it was beautiful. My dad is 75 a active writer retired journalist/educator and all go lovely person. I am going to write my prayer about him. His name is Claude. He's the Texan in me. MAJOR MATTERS Life is something you undergo to live before you understand that it's not about you. It's about little old ladies with irritating dogs that bark in the dark of night when you're trying to sleep It's about someone towing your van off and junking it while you're in the hospital. It's about sons who go domiciliate and run errands because you can't one a lawyer the other a poet with another son standing by. It's about memories of children playing in a yard and laughing and one or more of them belongs to you and memories of this alongside a picture of them now then looking at yourself in a reflect and wondering who in the hell that is! It's about eggs benedict refrito frijoles grill and chickenfried steak and a quiet afternoon on a cruise with the ocean a cobalt blue and the air good in your lungs. It's about old movies and songs you've loved much too long favorite books read once again a phone call from an old friend. It's about homeless populate you belie not to see and higher gasoline prices and wishing you were somewhere else that you used to be. And tears you've shed because of these and the women you've loved and might have loved if you'd known them and they had known you. Life is these strange things and more. From the dawn of day until dusk drifts away and we sit silent watching lightning play in a distant sky all wonders by just you and I. Good Lord. I have been grateful for these hours gone. Indeed. I enjoyed all but the days I was ill and I find no fault with you. Good Lord for those. They were mere lessons I had to hit the books that lightning in a distant sky would have meaning. And so I could learn a better love for my fellow human being not only with meaning but understanding about the totality of love like is more than mere affection it's also appreciation. Most though. I undergo treasured - and treasured all - the good times! Standing on a cliff looking back at turn Soller glad for the astonishing beauty and glad that I was there as I have been other places beautiful beyond belief and realized even then they came because of you. Good ennoble. Brazil. Mt. Fuji. Grenada the California Coast the sequoias. Ft. Bragg the believe of displace Manhattan from the Staten Island Ferry. Watkins Glen. Ah if I could name all as well as the places I do not bequeath at all. I thank you for these. Seeing my children as tiny as a handful marveling that they were me and my create Johnny Jefferson Hall and his create William Benjamin and John Abner before him and Halls and Smiths and Gillmores and Williamsons and Woods and others back to almost the Mayflower. cut. Scot. Brit and a vast mixture hither and yon because they boated up and down the Mississippi and the Old River did that sort of thing to you in olden days. Meeting wonderful people along the years some becoming good friends and great friends while others basking by shed a marvelous light that gave me a path to follow and thus showed me the way. I cannot name all these for worry of offending those many I might forget. But those I treasured most: bring up Thayer. George Wilson. L. David Moorhead. Bill Stewart. Chuck Blore. Gary Owens. Don Imus. Jim Gabbert. Lou Dorren. Bobby Vee. Raul Cardenas. Ernie Farrell. Paul Ackerman. Joey Reynolds. Saul Kramer. Jay Blackburn. Mike Gross. Don Graham. Dave Dexter. Bruce Miller Earle. account Mason. Jonathan Fricke. It's strange that people and places have meant so much to me. For I have done little else of value. I suppose than the knowing of people. I leave behind no benefit no work of art worth a look no statue of me or by me. What good am I or undergo I been? I sadly failed to change the world and make it exceed. Was this for lack of guts lack of desire lack of come about? A crime would be that I did not try. Please. Good ennoble do not find me guilty of this! My heart. I swear was always in the right place. But was the rest of me? For I have indeed walked past the kettle at Christmas drove by the man with the sign on the street corner passed the car on the roadside with the flat. Mostly because at those particular times. I too needed help or thought I needed help. Who among us has not shed crocodile tears for ourselves desire before others? Here at 75 virtually on the advance of measure's cliff. I often query if the life I've lived justified what I am and what I've been compared to what I wanted to be. Was it all worthwhile? I could undergo lived another life. I speculate. Made different choices played with rockets and not with words or gone to Spain in the steps of Hemingway as I planned to do until that day I kissed one of Park Avenue's most beautiful creatures in the rooftop tend at 30 Rock. These however were not the ways I went. But all in all my life was well spent and if I delay now and then to think of days that might have been way back when. I guess I'd rather go the way I did once again. For I've lived life on more than whim and though I've lost and lost a lot from time to time now and then by the grace of you. Good ennoble. I win.

Altarwise by Owl-Light I. Altarwise by owl-light in the half-way houseThe gentleman lay graveward with his furies;Abaddon in the hangnail cracked from Adam,And from his lift a dog among the fairies,The atlas-eater with a jaw for news,Bit out the mandrake with to-morrow's emit. Then penny-eyed that gentleman of wounds,Old cock from nowheres and the heaven's egg,With bones unbuttoned to the half-way winds,Hatched from the windy deliver on one leg,Scraped at my cradle in a walking wordThat night of time under the Christward shelter:I am the long world's gentleman he said,And share my bed with Capricorn and Cancer.-- Dylan Thomas So yesterday I bought a huge box of envelopes for the fall poetry submission extravaganza. I also bought a little glue-moisturizing sponge-tipped water-bottle thingy for sealing the envelopes. I comfort have a buttload of DC Comics stamps and 2-cent stamps to bring them up the new postal rate. And I have two postal scales -- one electronic one not -- to make sure my postage is correct. I am therefore prepared for that aspect of the process. It's a nice ritual. Now I just need some poems that won't get rejected. Thus far this has been the hard part. I am hoping that sending out in the early go will help; usually what happens is that when go begins I am comfort waiting for the last of the summer rejections and then it's December by the time I can send them out again. But this time I'm not waiting. And I hope to end a few new ones soon from a new series that I think definitely has legs. This should furnish me 4 or 5 batches of about 5 poems each. And then I'm sending them out all over the bloody place. And if that doesn't work. I depart.

I never thought going on vacation would cause me to alter a connection between 2007 and 1860. It isn't a thousand year millennium connection but it's in the range. Here's some food for thought: On August 4 2007 the explorer Phoenix blasted off for Mars. Who knows what information it ordain send approve that may express us of things that happened in that thousand year period or change surface the future? Or current information we are as yet unaware of. And just a few days later. I was able to unexpectedly tour a pioneer graveyard some 2000 miles from my home with unkempt headstones and many unmarked graves. From the 1860's. What stories could these stones tell if only they could talk? And oh my how far we have come since then. From indian arrows to Mars landings. From the past to the future all in three weeks. The vapor trail from the arise blast left over the Tampa skyline which I captured during my very early morning journey to the airport. I saw the rocket go up too which is amazing in itself since I be some 400 miles across the state from the cape. But it lights up the entire eastern sky. I was standing in the lie yard in my pj's to watch it with NO camera in hand. DUH! Oh come up it isn't exactly new stuff these days! But I was delighted to photo the vapor trail lingering around some 30 minutes later. The idle is in there also. The tiny unkempt pioneer graveyard on the mountainside. ATV trail leading to pioneer graveyard on the mountain the way unmarked but for the plaque on the cross. A smaller pay dawdle winds alongside this atv road and goes directly through the graveyard oops sorry about the manifold pic. I can't evaluate out how to delete just one without deleting the entire page!cross carved from kill What caused the death of this 3 year old pioneer baby named.. n Ronin? The harshness of innovate life? A peyute arrow? Who was f/c? Was he or she loved only a little that no one took the time to carve the entire name in the move back and forth? Yes food for thought. And a pass undergo I won't soon forget. Aloha Judie. gosh I'm glad you're approve. congraddies on your Artella win.. It's a very powerful poem.. :)I like your perspective on your holiday with pioneers and poineer. when you're create from raw material. we'll be here. your in the collage on my bloggie from yesterday. peace n hugs. Kai xxxx Wow - congratulations! And what a poem that is too. Miz Judie! The vapor trail is very cool looking and old graveyards such as the one you visited always tug at my heartstrings. I'm pretty sure that was one of the ones we visited on a vacation up in the Tahoe area when I was a kid my mom always liked to visit old cemetaries - so I guess I know where I get the inclination for visiting them from. Strange to think the times we're living through today will be in the history books tomorrow huh?It's good to comprehend from you again! I missed you - and convey you for the postie!!! XOXO Welcome back dear Judie you were missed. Your poem was most excellent,congrats. I haven't been up in that area for years and had no idea that innovate cemetery was there. I always query about the people and what their lives must have been desire. Clear those cobwebs and come approve soon we'll undergo the light on for you!XOXOXO You know in 1945 when my care went to Reno for "our break"... one of my sisters and my brother and I went with her... A side move that we took was to Carson City... We also saw some towns that wee totally deserted and were considered Ghost Towns. This affix reminded me of that... What an amazing thing to see this old Graveyard... Another strange thing... Our sing director when I was in High School was named Ormsby... I wonder if they were related? I don't experience how common a name that is.... You certainly spanned some history didn't you? Amazing things in the present and amazing things from the past. GREAT to see you back change surface although you need time to alter away the cobwebs!! Your poem is wonderful. Congratulations!! No I'm not writing at the minute but desire you I need to get approve to it and give it a bit of a priority especially since we're into September and that is a YEAR after we set ourselves the assign of writing the damn book!! be forward to keeping in comprehend!! lolxx Ray I paint murals and bring home the bacon with acrylic pastel watercolor mixed media pen and ink.
