If you want to know what a brevette poem is, go here."And they all lived happily ever after" for about two minutes. Welcome to my imagination's playhouse. Far horizons beckon, upward limits grow fuzzy.

I'm preparing this limerick in advance. I wrote it for Sunday but it just doesn't seem appropriate for that day for some reason:
There once was a mockingbird young
At midnight this bird would give tongue
It's song was quite great
But it just sang so late
That I wanted that dadgum bird hung

Actually I love mockingbirds and listening to them at night makes me happy. But this poem just slipped out. What can I say? I just have a warped sense of humor. I'd be much more inclined to want to hurl things a dove, because for many reasons they're completely stupid birds. Mockingbirds are smart. I've even heard one sound like a car alarm.
Addere cochlearium in omnia mentis,
est intelligendum amphorarum numero,
et sextam partem oephi et sudore.
(Into everything, add a spoonful of intellect,
an ounce of understanding, and a gallon of sweat.)
--H. Linn Murphy
With a heart harder than any ruby, Bernadette abandons her stepchildren to a life on the streets of London. Sarah and Josiah are forced to make their living by dragging flotsam from the banks of the Thames to sell for food. Sarah cares for several street urchins, while her young brother goes to work for a gang, cleaning chimneys and acting as a paid mourner-both covers for a theft ring.
Handsome law clerk Andrew Witherwood seems to be Sarah's champion, despite the fact that Bernadette has retained his services. When rumors of the ruby resurface, greedy treasure hunters will stop at nothing to get their hands on it. Kidnapping, theft, betrayal, and murder are all on the table. Sarah must find someone she can trust before it's too late.
When champion barrel racer Tamsin Tucker is seriously injured at a rodeo, her whole world crashes around her. She is abandoned in a tiny Utah town, where her leg is amputated to save her life. Tamsin's horse is gone, she has no family, and she feels God has forsaken her. Prospects are bleak.
Through what she later realizes is divine intervention, Tamsin finds friendship with her nurse, Sarah, and Travis Mayfield, the handsome doctor who saves her life. Sarah has her own problems, but a faith that Tamsin can't deny. Travis has ghosts of his own and must learn to trust in God as well.
Getting on her feet isn't going to be easy for Tamsin. But with a newfound purpose, the help of friends, a man who adores her, and the matchless love of her Heavenly Father, she will forge a new life.
