Ted L Glines has been writing since 1965, mostly rhyming verse and song lyrics, along with some free verse and prose. In the beginning years, most of his works were activist oriented and connected to the "freedom of speech" movement, with many poems published in college literary magazines and the "underground" free press (Village Voice, etc.). Having somewhat mellowed out in later years, Ted's works now lean more toward entertainment and humor. Major influences have been Edgar Allan Poe, Jack London, Patty Burkeen, Silvia Plath, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Wendy Baral Cooper, Shakespeare, H. P. Lovecraft, and Paul Simon. Currently residing in rural east Texas after escaping the battleground of southern California. Peace is good.

This poem relates a true sequence of events from my case files at HaltAbuse.org. Names changed to protect client's privacy. Chrissy is now enjoying a safe life with husband and children. Robert remains free but his predatory activities have been closed down. All is well.

Our soldiers know exactly what it is like to be serving so far away from home and thinking about you on Christmas Day (and every other day). Your letters and care packages mean so very much to them. Many of them are in Iraq and Afghanistan where life is waiting for the next gun shot or explosion. Many others are in support postings elsewhere. I have a friend serving in a German hospital where her patients are wounded soldiers from the war zones. She has a deep need to know that you care about her. They all do!

Our Pilgrim forefathers did routinely observe thanksgiving, but it was a religious service that including singing and prayer. These Pilgrims were not experienced farmers. It was local Native Americans who introduced them to corn and squash, and who showed them how to fertilize the ground using fish heads. We owe our Thanksgiving holiday to their feast in 1621 which celebrated their first successful harvest.

A page has been turned on American history with the election of Barack Obama, and perhaps a new chapter opened as well. According to reports from overseas, this has been a shot heard 'round the world, as other nations are cheering our election of an African American president. With this move, we have regained international respect, and perhaps gained some self-respect here at home.
