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.

No, they are not haiku, as the rhythm is 5,7,5.
Mine are just dashed off with no particular rhythm. Quickies, I guess. Just jottings.

Oh! I do not know if they are from me to you or you to me
If they are from me to you, then it is lovely as you see me as one who loves and is not only obsessed
If they are from you to me, then it is lovely as you love me as a friend
If it is from God to you, then it is lovely as you feel optimistic about your future
They are lovely
If they are from me to you, then it is lovely as you see me as one who loves and is not only obsessed

If it is from God to you, then it is lovely as you feel optimistic about your future
They are lovely

I think I am presumptuous.
My sweet, sweet friend. I broke the chains. You are free to leave me.
I am alright.
I do not want to hurt you.
Stay if it is pleasant. It is pleasant to have you stay.

I think the word possessiveness/possess/possess seems to be a leitmotif here...

Yes, I am possessive. One of my downfalls. I am like Beast in Beauty and the Beast and letting him go back home. That is when the Beast finally learns to love.

I like studying words; in Latin, 'I follow' is 'sequor', which literally means: 'I am followed'. Passive form but active meaning. Which begs the question, Who is following whom? (I think from a poetic perspective, the word 'possess' can function similarly, sometimes.)Yes, I am possessive. One of my downfalls.
