If HE Were Alive Today ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________


Rather than preaching
the Word...
He'd be disguised as
hummingbird
 
A species that
never failed him
(Unlike humans wanting
to jail Him)
 
If the question
was either/or
consider options
(to be sure)
 
Have the hyper-flapping wings
and 
vertical flight
or 
Be warrior Christians killing
all day and all night

The Problem With Self-Plagiarism

________________________________________________________________________________________________


The problem with
Self-Plagiarism
is
you may have
to pay two lawyers
where
only one
would suffice
but
to quote
"Anyone who defends himself
has a fool for a client"
 
However,
if you click on that link,
please give my regards
to that charming couple,
Mr. and Mrs. 
Mumbo Jumbo

HOODA HELAMI's Newest Poem

________________________________________________________________________________________________


You play the cards
you're dealt
and when 
victory is smelt,
lay them down 
gently
but rake in
your winning pot:
You're hot
 
Then
do your damnedest
to repeat the process
 Yes

Attention: Aspiring Novelists ... I Mean this VERY SERIOUSLY

_______________________________________________________________________________________________


Virtually all fiction 
is crime fiction
including 
one of the greatest novels 
ever written:
 ***
Fyodor Doestoevsky
may also be responsible
for the perfect 
 crime fiction
title
***
 
Despite having 
four copyrighted novels,
Oliverio is too embarrassed
to share any of them
but mighty proud
to have his name
"adjacent to"
 
However,
the GodFather of Math Trilogy
sliced, diced, and minced
those four novels
into 8000+
blogalicious pages
***
 
ASPIRING NOVELISTS:
please consider
the following hypothesis:
 
A successful 
homicide detective
is
symbolically
and intimately involved 
with 
LOGIC
 
Instead of having an orgasm,
he/she 
has the perpetrator
+
the criminal is ready
for the punishment
 !!!
 
The novel I have in mind
has to do with
a fictional word game
called
"Spelling Tree"
created and controlled
by someone with
a 4th grade dictionary
much to the chagrin
of a retired
but highly regarded
homicide detective
