Fantastic. I really like the Samson and Delilah poems. Delilah's was more passionate. Nice.

Jamaican Dawta & Stephen,

Give thanks. Yeah, Stephen, I really wanted to re-visit that story and tell it fresh and it was suprising that it came out that way because what started the whole poem was something Samson, who seems to have had bad luck with the ladies, said, "You would not have guessed my riddle if you hadn't ploughed my heifer."
Great stuff!
