Poem TitlePoet NameCritique Given by DeniMari Z.Critique Date
Worthy of SavingMandie J OverockerStrong emotional poem that reads so well and I love the where the inspiration came from for this piece I was reading along enjoying the passion you've put in to this but IMO at this part of the poem it got a little uneven with flow - (We’ll find inside ourselves - inside could be removed To face the world Which once betrayed We’ll soon learn Can too be true Providing space To heal with grace In loving arms And warm embrace Of those untouched By deception’s reach We’ll find securely I would go with - We'll find ourselves free again from betrayal we have faced providing space healing with grace in loving arms that embrace those untouched by deception's reach we will find security I was just playing around with your wonderful words - Very profound poetry that left this reader feeling encouraged - blessings, Deni 2014-01-31 01:24:00
Cheryl Said This was okJoe GustinThis is a very good poem but I wonder why you chose to use the word "To" when eliminating them would make just as well a good piece if not better? I'm not sure who Cheryl is - but the title is catchy. This is just my personal opinion but I would make the following changes - to tighten up your poem - and not use the word dream twice in the ending. When the winds tell me to turn around take notice now; smoke signals that still seek you rainbows that still hold such promise the birds speak and you seem to understand the perfect mistakes impossible faith Daring the dreams that only you can see...? In any case I hope that you didn't mind me playing with it a little - You have more words for poems right now than I do - blessings, Deni 2014-01-16 14:44:09
Ken at ChristmasMark Andrew HislopVery happy feel good write that sets the imagery so well - Wouldn't it be nice to experience this all year long -? The flow is concise and there are no hidden messages within - Just holiday spirit spread out for all to enjoy, blessings, Deni2014-01-16 14:35:23
Into ItJames C. HorakHello JC - Your chosen words of adj's empower this poem making more of an impact on the entire poem. So many good things in this piece - The emotions are very deep - and you've carefully suggested that the giver is just what they are - they give of themselves - with passion without ulterior motives - just pleased to make a difference if only for a moment. I enjoyed this write, Deni2014-01-16 14:33:10
Oversight (Slightly Revised)Kimberly D Rowe-Van AllenI do like this version better because it has a more subtle flow and the reader doesn't have to dig deep for the message in this poem. Your heart has been torn and I wish he see's too! I often wonder how love starts out so good and turns so bad - it is something I've learned in my life too. blessings, Deni2013-12-22 22:14:50
OversightKimberly D Rowe-Van AllenYour broken heart is pouring out in this poem and it's clear that you know you are very special but someone may have replaced you in a relationship and I think you're trying to sort it all out - by comparison. There is no comparison and we shouldn't blame ourselves if someone does not feel in their hearts what we feel in ours. It's a hurdle to jump over and writing will help - You have the means to express your feelings yet I still think you can condense some of this and leave out the repetitive phrases that take away from the impact of emotion you want the reader to feel. That is just my personal opinion and I'd re-work the first two verses to improve what you've already written. blessings, Deni2013-12-20 17:59:31
Marilyn Terwilleger -- CheyenneLora SilveyMy sincerest sympathy to you Lora as well as her close family and friends. I hadn't been aware that she was posting here as Cheyenne and can say she will be dearly missed. Marilyn was always a source of inspiration and my interactions here @TPL will always be remembered. Her lovely caring ways for others along with her talent as a gifted writer will live on here as well in the hearts of all she had impact with. May God bless and give everyone comfort, peace and strength. RIP Sweet Marilyn; I am a better person for having known you.2013-11-12 17:03:39
For You...Kimberly D Rowe-Van AllenAn endearing heartfelt poem Kimberly - finding love and losing love happens to everyone in a lifetime and I can feel the tug at your heart while saying goodbye and good luck yet still holding on to the love that existed when it was good. Your poem flows well and is comprehended with nicely written lines telling the story of giving all of your love to someone who couldn't appreciate it or return as much as you could. I've had the same experiences in life and wish I hadn't held on to what was lost for so long - Sometimes it's better to close the door and not look back in order for the right person to come in. Kudos to you for sharing this emotion packed write, Deni2013-11-05 19:57:35
What IfJoe GustinHi Joe, A wonderful lighthearted poem that I enjoyed reading. "What If?" indeed - if love could be like this. Your verses flow nicely and imagery stands out - very well done - I have to say that my favorite verse is: What if love were like a child that steps from stone to stone that lay within a stream yet the whole piece in all is wonderful - Deni2013-11-04 18:42:16
The Four GuardiansJames C. HorakThank you for writing this JC; I wasn't aware and ended up having an in depth conversation with my son about Fukishima and also hearing more from friends of mine in North Carolina who were very aware - You've written a powerful piece which in itself is noteworthy and informative on the dismal events surrounding us in the U.S. on a daily basis. Thumbs up - your concern is so appreciative. Deni2013-11-04 18:39:15
Dragon’s FlameLora SilveyBeautiful spiritual poem and I enjoyed the anticipation of what you would write next from beginning to end. Inspiring! The message comes to mind of how the flames will try to jump up and bite us in the ass- yet we know that with hope comes grace and thankfulness - to be witness and unfailing in our praise with prayer - being cleansed to original purity - Your imagery stands out and I completely enjoyed this poem. blessings, Deni2013-10-20 19:43:58
Unscathedcheyenne smythCheyenne, Once again you've knocked one out of the ballpark with a touching poem complete with imagery that deserves attention. Very subtle yet I was immersed in your words from beginning to end. The only thing I would change is The sun swept away the stars and sewed shut the crease of night "and sewed shut" the use of the two words that begin with the letter "S" puts a glitch in the verse - closed shut would work just as well - but it's such a minor detail in an otherwise very beautiful poem. blessings. Deni 2013-10-16 20:38:25
Her SongJoe GustinJoe, This poem has a fairytale tone in it - and a pleasure to read. I'm not sure I would use the word "art" twice in the first line because it caused a bit of hesitation to the flow - this is a happy feel good piece with imagery that stands out allowing me to be in the moment with it - I love the way you chose to end this poem and know it will be on my list for October. blessings, Deni2013-10-16 20:33:54
Its 7amJoe GustinThe last verse completes your poem - contentment found in the morning is such a positive way to start a day. Your first three verses introduce this piece with a nice easy flow of chosen words that find their impact where you have used wonderful imagery to show the unfolding day. I have to say for myself personally the fourth verse stands out in imagery - it has a wonderful line with sky scrappers that compare in beauty to flowers standing tall - All in all a good read - Deni2013-10-03 23:59:46
Mellow Soulcheyenne smythI love this Cheyenne because your imagery is done so well. Particularly when you say " how mountains hug their breath" - very original and poetic words. You've managed to open my eyes with "like vanilla ribbons clouds stretch tight across an indifferent sky" because of the truth in the words that you've softly penned in to this poem. Very mellow poem; a relaxing read that pulls the reader in and allows them to feel the words and see them transpire in vivid clarity. Well done, blessings, Deni 2013-09-25 19:50:56
FamilyMark Steven SchefferCleverly written. Family always gets the best and worst of it - and at the end of the day none of us are perfect - we're merely spiritual beings here for the journey - to take and make a life and I'm sure your family loves you very much - farts and all - blessings, Deni2013-09-25 19:47:23
A Clump of MetalJames C. HorakThe first thing that comes to mind is the infamous gold Rolex given to someone for a life of working. The top notch prize for a life given to one job. Yet this has a sad reflection to it with leaning toward someone who knew the expertise they had was not given enough in gain and time slipped by to a point where they no longer wanted it nor needed it? and sold it all to people who had no idea what they were buying. The spacing is different it causes me to pause so I imagine you intended that to make it stand out which it does. Nicely written, Deni2013-09-25 19:42:59
Next Time...This TimeKimberly D Rowe-Van AllenThis self-encouraging poem tells the reader that ultimate peace is what the writer wants and is reminding herself in a list of what not to do in life anymore - to avoid being hurt. It's an inspiring message but it could be improved in ways such as - only use "Next Time" once - then add the lines following it underneath - the repetitive takes away from the true message. The same with "This time" Something like this perhaps? Next Time... fears will not control my fate I will believe in ME from the very beginning I won't need to be told that who I am is OK I'll know how to be soft and strong at the same time Pursuing my dreams will be the FIRST thing I do - not the last I will consider ALL of the of possibilities Affirmations are strong but I wouldn't type any of the words in caps - This Time... I'll ask the right questions before I give my heart and soul away I'll be the priority and not just an option I won't have to ask - he'll want to without me saying He'll make time and not just make excuses I'll feel a love and a peace like I've never known I will find the sanctuary that has eluded me for so long This Time... The NEXT time will be the BEST time Writing about relationships puts demands on the writer; and some relationships aren't meant to be - If it breaks your self-esteem it breaks the spirit inside of you - I see the hope for a better future which is promising - Deni 2013-09-07 08:53:25
The MorningJoe GustinThis is a clever poem with an intro that draws a reader in yet somehow at the same time while reading on I was a bit confused of where your message was taking me. Realizing that all writers use words that specifically mean something (that the reader doesn't always find) I would love it if you would expand more of the message in this piece. Good choice of words, flows nicely but I felt like I missed something by the end of it unless the poem was about morning and how it makes you feel. Deni2013-09-01 23:31:58
INSIPIDUSJames C. HorakEgypt? Realty - bloodshed should not be and you've said a lot in a few lines truly understanding what is happening in the world we live in. We are being infused with war, violence, Biblical prophecies saying the Anti-christ is here in the world now- Complex and disheartening - People should not look away to simple comforts of living life day to day - and turn away from these atrocities - we should know or seem to be able to know from what we learned what is happening all over the world. Very nicely done, Deni2013-09-01 13:47:57
Elephant Memorycheyenne smythVery emotional impact on me Cheyenne - First verse introduces the reader to what was - and choice of verbiage stands out - "Ethereal kiss" - touches my heart - The bond of true love is the focus yet the sorrow that follows is quietly placed without the anger written in a lot of styles of poetry over a great loss. It's soothing, it's heartbreaking and to wear your heart like a withered rose clinging to the vine stands out - knowing all too well that it's just there - barely hanging on - but holding one none the less. It caps off with something I've never encountered with poetry related to sorrow - "cursed with too much memory" is true - We remember so much - and as your title fits this poems - Elephants never forget - Deni2013-09-01 13:40:31
Man Sipping Coffee from a SaucerJames C. HorakThe title is eye catching which is the best part of being enticed to read a poem. The depth in your piece colorfully describes in poetic form how we're suppose to proceed with caution to everything we handle now to avoid experiencing any ill repercussions of what we do - but there is more depth in this piece - more towards where society in general needs to react with appropriate measures and not excuse the extent of how much we've to be concerned about now. Very clever and I do hope you enlighten me to this particular line, "Once even the eggs were and yet) you can't find a straight bone on a bet" Well done - I enjoyed this poem. DZ2013-08-22 19:14:54
Old Defeatscheyenne smythTouching soul searching poem with your 3rd verse standing out in imagery. We can never undo any wrong deed that comes back to haunt us yet somehow we internalize these times in our lives which make them seem like they happened yesterday - Very beautiful poem - nothing I would change in it. blessings, Deni2013-08-08 11:29:25
Last Spoken WordsMark D. KilburnMy heart goes out to you Mark as I grieving parent I understand how important this poem that he wrote is to you. My son's last written words were on a "Fire News," writing board on his refrigerator that read "If We Could Only Make Them See", a bit on the prophetic side as well. I don't believe in the justice system anymore either - they'd be better off flipping a penny for heads or tails - with the arrogant, oppositional way of resolving matters. His poem has so many beautiful verses in it - There is a strong "in retrospect" feeling through it of what he should have done differently yet wisdom far behind his tender age which makes me believe even with his issues he was very observant of life itself. Again as a grieving parent I pray you do not guilt yourself over your choices I truly can see in this write that he had thoughts and his thoughts were of the afterlife - and how important life is. "Tears", prayers to you & yours. This was an honor to read and a wonderful tribute with cherished life memories to hold tightly on to. God bless you & yours, Deni 2013-07-20 12:44:30
After The RainJoe GustinNicely written and the content is of these times we're living in now. I imagine God does cry out to all of his children especially to those who no longer look to him for comfort.2013-06-28 17:12:49
What Terry Has Asked Be Posted HereJames C. HorakChoosing my battles and one of them is not with JC. This magnified to the point where it never had to - and I have been told by others they left because of JC's higher than thou attitude. The point is mute - no one I gave credits to wants to come back, those that left are not coming back - so what is the fuss still going on for? It's because JC took an attack on my character and well-being - That's why. There was no reason to bring my deceased son - nor my other son in to this at all. That was below the belt. I've written other poems about a variety of different things here - he focuses on drama - and me being on a pity pot. I'm not I've gone through all of the grief counseling a Mother can go through - and my progress was duly noted. I will not go tit for tat with James - it's obvious he wants to win something here - what it is I have no idea about - as I said before it was a simple request of mine to James to give the new people a break - he just can't. That's the end of it. Move on - Next............I hold my opinion of Mr. Horak as it stands and it shouldn't bother him at all. If he's reaching out for character references by this point he really has an issue. 2012-07-06 16:42:14
More Deni DooDooJames C. HorakCreature? Assumptions and a general characterization by one person which is you JC - ? I keep saying you need to rule your world with words - anyone with any insight - should see that a simple request of mine to you has been blown to proportions well out of hand and how dare you have the nerve to keep focusing on "drama" in my life and insinuating such awful things? That to me says you are so out of control and it's defamation to me - I critiqued your poem and noted your anger in it - it was an observation - clearly you can not keep writing things like this knowing you're the specific cause and person that caused so many people to leave this site. I never did that - you did.......and you were banned from the forum - I never was - Get a grip and get some assistance to your mental health issues - Mine are in tact - Pathological whining? I have to tell you that I might seek counsel now - you have over reacted with all of this - Poorly fitted mask? How dare you? You don't know anything about my personal life or what I do with it - All the good I do for others - You just could not be nice to the new people and now it's my fault - FU...........................................you ogre..............2012-07-05 07:04:21
ME TOOOOOOEllen K LewisHello Ellen - it is sad how others have ruined a wonderful idea inspired by Chris years ago. It's not fun or appealing in anyway anymore - and it would be nice if the new talent that has come and gone had stayed because years ago this was a thriving website where Chris could actually give out the cash prize at the end of each voting period. I use The Hub Writing Site - You will get positive feedback there and there is a way to earn $$ from that site. Also a friend of mine introduced me to Redgage where you earn as well while doing what you love to do which is write. This one was recommended to me by another poet here: Allpoetry.com - If I find more I will email them to you, God bless, Deni I detest such petty conflict! 2012-07-03 18:59:05
My Policy as of.....James C. HorakMary, I don't ordinarily respond to the little barb s thrown out from time to time due to those whose representation of the truth is so skewed. Suffice to say, however, this is especially egregious. Here is what I sent Cheyenne, acting in my own defense: JC - I merely asked you why you had been sharp tongued with Andrew because he was the third person I shared credits with - the other two came and left and I knew as soon as I read what you said to Andrew he would leave as well. Along with the fact that you have again said things to Cheyenne against me. Do you think I sit and read the poetry for the count? No - I read everyone's work because I enjoy it JC - I don't skip poems if they are not up to my liking. That would not be fair here by any means. This is why I say -you have driven poets from this site and you don't mind doing it. Duane bluntly told me he left because of you and the list goes on - You can not be approached no matter what anyone says to you. You had such angst with me on the other website for no reason except perhaps the truth hurts. JC take TPL - please? and leave me alone. I spend my time quietly, I am passive, kind and generous and I certainly have never been told that I verbally attack anyone for any reason in life. You have truly bent the truth made it seem like you did nothing wrong - but JC - I've never meant to drive poets away - and I told you - you were on a mission as if it was one of your purposes in life to do so. You win dude....I give up. Say what ever you want now - you want to rule the world around you with your words - Do it........ Cheyenne, I think you ought to know that no one has maligned Deni. She went off the deep end with me over my critique of Mr. Slick's, Her Name was New Hampshire, claiming I was responsible for driving away poets from TPL. She came onto FaceBook to do this. When I politely explained myself and suggested we had a different philosophy of critiquing (hers to draw in count and mine to tell the truth) she unresponsively continued in this vein until I simply asked her, "don't bother me anymore". When she wouldn't stop, I unfriended her. Then she carried on this crap in a jab at my latest poem. I simply responded, "you can't leave your personal problems out of anything,can you?" That is the whole of it. JCH2012-07-01 00:07:22
Soul Sick in Albuquerque on a Bus Lay-overJames C. HorakI see a troubled soul who is discouraged around beauty but is hopeless in finding pleasure or continuing on in this way through life. NOTE: There are several different websites to coach those who can not effectively communicate with peers. Anger is so distressful - in my opinion...2012-06-27 14:59:22
Consoling LifeAndrew W. SlickThis has so much potential if you could restructure out of a story format and even up the lines to read down in poem form. This has so much down to earth truth in it - Noted are the times we live in now. Financial stress, loss of jobs, broken relationships and the fact that doctors will keep prescribing addictive meds to patients who say they are stressed, depressed and can't cope anymore can help for an interim period but after that it becomes a habit and a way of life and no choice other than personal choice to stop taking them. Then the real party gets started - suffering through withdrawals and families in crisis over addictions. It never takes away the problem in fact it just adds to their suffering. I'm familiar with my past employment in the medical field. It's a clear eye's view to a tragic event cleverly written and easy enough to understand from beginning to end. Like the way this ended with you being aware of giving because let's face it none of us are completely safe in the world we live in today and have to keep what we have and work to save it. Different! I didn't even notice any typos... Deni2012-06-20 14:17:31
Lips Whispercheyenne smythSuch a tenderly written love poem. It is perfected with the flow no hesitation at all through this piece. Imagery is amazing as well. Love has the ability to bring so much pleasure in life and you've captured pieces that others would never know of unless through your written words. I love it Cheyenne - it's the best poem I've read this month. Incredible! blessings, Deni2012-06-20 14:10:04
DrainedAndrew W. SlickWow - powerful emotions emerge from this write. I really enjoyed this poem. There's a fine line between love and hate and hate is so harsh of an emotion yet people do it often and willingly let the words roll off their tongues. I see someone who is just as good as another and trying so hard to please someone who doesn't want to notice. A selfish act on the ladies part - and it can "drain" and pull a person down - all that's left is worse until.... the hope in this poem should be in Part II - Drained, good work, blessings, Deni2012-06-19 20:34:23
Her Name Was New HampshireAndrew W. SlickHi Andrew, You must be new or I've been away from the site for too long. First I have to say the title is eye catching -it makes the reader curious about the content of the poem. Very nice clean structure with less words adds the impact of your imagery. I particularly liked your first verse and I stopped to laugh out loud. I've never stared at any end of any kind of gun - cute play on words - lends to the casual message of your poem. I can see you may have hesitated or pushed to find words for your second verse - the flow is just enough off - to stop the reader for a pause and read over to enjoy the lines. You may want to rethink that one verse because I'm not connecting "Smoke clears the room - A selfish act - Maybe I missed it - tell me if I did. All in all I'd say it's a good poem. I've never been to that state and trust that you have. Nice play on words to end the poem - Good work, blessings, Deni2012-06-19 20:31:15
JANA BUCK HANKSLora SilveyI am so sorry and wish I had read this sooner. God bless her whole family.2012-06-14 22:43:01
I Was In the Middle and You Were All AroundEllen K LewisMy heart goes out to you Ellen in sentiments of understanding it what it's like to have family leave before me and feel the isolation in life that comes with it. Very real stark emotions in this poem that lean toward the sadness but the appreciation as well that all your family would want you to survive on with their memories. Sometimes it's easier said than done but ultimately you've said it in your poem quite elegantly - "When I need you now I'll find your soul still alive within me" and there could be no truer words than these. Blessings to you, Deni2012-05-14 16:53:27
Ticking Bombcheyenne smythUnderstanding these intense feelings myself I can only say you've pulled together some very wonderful imagery that lets the reader in to feel with you. Very nicely done, blessings, Deni2012-05-14 16:50:22
MonopolyDellena RovitoCute take on the game that's been around for a very long time. Spent hours in my youth playing it and enjoying every minute until it went in to overtime - (smile) AC is here in NJ and trust me you're not missing much unless you're a compassionate gambler which I bet you aren't. Nice short and sweet - clever as well, blessings, Deni2012-05-14 16:48:37
The trouble of loveMichael BirdMichael this is cute- love = trouble - and it seems to me that someone has your heart and may have it for a very long time. Love is a wonderful feeling - the newness and the time in getting to know someone else - It's clear, concise and gets the message across easily without embellishing it with a lot of imagery. Nice - I like it, blessings, Deni2012-05-08 19:29:06
Sunrise PinkLora SilveyGreat twist with the words chosen for this "cute" poem. I have to say it was a pleasure to read and I imagine you've fooled quite a few of us with the twist on the theme. It's lighthearted and fun which really makes it stand out. Good job I enjoyed it a lot. blessings, Deni2012-04-29 23:26:04
Help me I`m fallingMichael BirdUplifting positive poem that is all about the new happiness found in a new relationship. My personal preference would be to tighten in up and leave out unnecessary words but again my personal opinion. There seems to be to many "I's" - that could be taken out to tighten up the verses without taking the message in the poem away from it. My best to you & Mel, blessings, Deni2012-04-29 23:24:00
voting dayEllen K LewisI'm sorry you didn't get to vote Ellen but I've had glitches with voting before too and have had to write each individual poem down and keep it on hand for verification and then wait and vote on the 5th or 6th day of each new month. That way my voting power did make a difference. My heart goes out to you for having the courage to write something so personal yet in a way others' will be able to relate to. I depend on my human emotions to write poetry as well as understand it. We never know from one day to the next what life will bring to us and if it brings tragedy, pain, or for others to loose interest in us; we have lost but we have also gained strength, courage, and intestinal fortitude knowing that we did not cause the events in our lives but are rising above them and facing each one daily in hopes of becoming even a part of who we were before these events took place. Five years ago my life was a much better life to me. Today I look back at that time and realize that almost everyone I interacted with then is no longer a part of my daily life. I did not leave them they chose to walk away from my "painful" life event and I don't think of them anymore because you see they've been replaced with people who really do care - and that to me is a blessing. Very nicely written - blessings, Deni2012-03-15 15:50:02
My Feb 2012 voteMark Andrew HislopFebruary 2012 was a great month here so much so I wasn't able to read and critique all posts accordingly. It takes time and thought to read through them all and give them the best critique as perceived by each reader. MSS, Lora, Dellena, Cheyenne, JC, Tony, Ellen, others along with yourself made it very good month here. Very happy to see Rachael post for March - it's almost like a reunion and a good one at that. blessings, Deni2012-03-15 15:34:56
My First February '12 VoteMark Steven SchefferGreat picks - and on a personal note I know I would not have stayed with TPL for 12 years - (the system here read less years) but I joined in the year 2000 - if it had not been for the encouragement of almost everyone on your list here - it's still a learning process for me but I've been lucky - My first and only choice for a poetry website gave me all of you - blessings, Deni2012-03-15 15:28:50
Ash Wednesday Black FaceMark Steven SchefferInteresting piece of poetry although I think the title could be changed in this - without taking away from the poem itself. They all know what it is like - as naturally as the babies, the dogs, the blind, are facts of life- yet I wonder if the tambourine jingles is a note of sympathy or recognition to all pointed out in this poem. Very different - very unique - truly thought provoking - blessings, Deni2012-03-05 23:56:09
Fighting Tearscheyenne smythHauntingly beautiful Cheyenne - in each line you give your heart wide open all of the feelings intended with each word showing the reader how wonderful a time this was. Pure everlasting love that was broken before it's time was over - and the sadness stands out - with imagery of a story that touches the core of the reader. So many good things in this poem it's hard to pick out my favorite parts of it. The first two verses are very strong - it's the beginning of something wonderful to the second verse where you pull it deeper with emotions - love being everything the happiness is overflowing. Somehow you managed to go further in a descriptive manner showing us the fight, the anger, the unbelievable event that happened and this part cuts like a knife. Acceptance and hope for the future is realized but also a personal message - of how you ended with: From positive events through which one lives, We draw from life, the gift that ever gives -which to me is being blessed to have had this in life and be able to go back and remember every part of how wonderful it was.

Crappy days are here againHoward D. PalmerWell the message in this poem is def. understood as I can relate with a poem I recently wrote called Money Train, the decline is so obvious and we feel like our hands are tied - I like the sarcasm full blown - and the change from "Happy" to "Crappy" because people are constantly in threat and wondering where this is all leading us to - and rightfully so - The only part of this I would change is in your last verse- Cares and troubles here to stay goes against the line of thoughts - Cares refers to good - Troubles to bad - if this makes sense to you - Honest, candid, realistic view written in poetic fashion- best to you, Deni 2012-02-27 00:29:48
Spell for Retrieving a LoverMark Andrew HislopIncredible mix of emotions overflowing with the added mystery for the reader to unlock as thought provoking lines in to verses are like magnets - in which the reader is fed just enough to enjoy the poem in it's entirety. No other poet could duplicate such an inspiring poem it is truly your work Mark with a seal of approval from myself and I would imagine anyone who will read this. Trusting that every word in itself only holds power when you chose the others which has me in awe of such fine flawless poetry - Unless I could come up with anything to change this and I can't I see this coming in at the top level for March posts and feel assured that you have created art that will last forever. blessings, Deni2012-02-18 14:03:08
May I Have This Romance?Ellen K LewisPure in it's own right of showing how love can be very real and long lasting through all seasons in life. It's tender, mesmerizing and hold the reader's attention but better yet it is full of happiness that comes from within when love exists - This kind of love is the dance - the dance such as in Garth Brooks famous song - You have touched my heart with this poem - and I would like to find someone to dance with now! blessings, Deni2012-02-18 13:57:25
Catching the MomentDellena RovitoHumorous and I trust this is really about flies and their propensity to be everywhere when we don't want them to be anywhere near us. I'm battling cagy little ants so I can relate - Very nice work - and uplifting to the spirit - blessings, Deni2012-02-16 11:32:52
