  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Never have I seen before
Anything to be compared
to beauty that now lines the floor
of Earth, here on this Autumn morn'

One object my attention led,
among leaf piles and puddled rain
with flecks of dark on vibrant red,
one leaf, pristine, beside a drain.

What artist painted its bright hues?
How creative its Creator's mind?
What hand could be so skilled and true,
to leave this leaf for me to find?

Hello Chris B. - Welcome to CF. I liked your well written, seasonal poem. I was particularly tuned in to it as I have just finished an autumn poem myself.
Hope we will see more of your work.
