The Great Divide	Rick Barnes	On the edge of decision sounding like its boiled down to a mathmatical problem, Does it add up or multiply your problems, Theres an infinty of answers out there thanks for letting me read your poem.	2004-08-27 15:06:31
Blue Lucy	Mell W. Morris	I didn't know the definition of Miniscibility and couldn't find it at dictionary.com, hopefully you can help me out with that.My favorite line was: Watershed moments when we try to learn From streaks of gnostic light where our Salvation lies. Striving for convergence Thanks for letting me read your poem	2004-08-27 14:58:59
Undaunted Soul	marilyn terwilleger	I fell chilled in the first stanza as if the storms coming at me, while the second starts with what I think is the best line of the piece: Thunder resounds speaking in quarrelsome tongue Thanks for letting me read your poem	2004-08-27 14:44:43
Unspoken	Jana Buck Hanks	reading this poem inspired me to quickly make one up, I titled it transparent and submitted it. Actually its inspired by the lines: Somewhere, among the billions of clichés, someone said that children read between the lines and hear the unspoken. What they perceive is in fact, their reality. I like the reference to alice as a way examining aging. thanks for letting me read your poem.	2004-08-27 14:23:06
The Rock of Heaven	Gene Dixon	The ripples some people make really shake us up, The last two lines make me picture the wildfowers and blackberries peaking out of the snow, Thanks for letting me read your poem.	2004-08-27 13:23:15
Revelry	Joanne M Uppendahl	I can just see a bird saying "Theres' a party in the maple dudes!" Thanks for letting me read your haiku.	2004-08-27 13:19:07
A life in the day of a gutter-girl	Lynda G Smith	Very tifgt in that I wouldn't know a word to take out or one to add, the succession of images this brings to mind were very interesting especially the contrast of the first two lines with the next two lines. Thanks for letting me read it.	2004-08-27 13:09:42
The Nightingale's Song	Robert L Tremblay	And orphaned child whose spirit often dies When mindful of his solitary deal Thats a line I really like.Is:But mindful should you be to the bell rung is that suppose to be a play on having your bell rung, like being knocked out or something like that. Thanks for letting me read your poem.	2004-08-27 12:14:17
Orphan	DeniMari Z.	After reading this ten times I still can't come up with one suggestion of improvement and yet I keep thinking theres something to suggest.Just one of those strange feelings I guess. I'm equal to the orphan who seeks everlasting family bonds, to quench the dryness in my throat with unconditional love, Is my favorite part, although that last line really is a good summing up	2004-08-27 11:24:04
UNTITLED	JACK M HRINIAK	When a poem is this personal its hard to suggest making any changes, But I wonder if the first: My father is dead. might work better as My father dead? Perhaps I'm just not reading it right . Thanks for letting me read your poem.	2004-08-27 11:16:26
The Counsel Of The Trees	Nancy Ann Hemsworth	This sounds reminiscent of Wordworth, One of my favorite poets, my favorite lines are: The shadows rose as moonlight passed and told of stories, drawn from the past in soft sweet whispers, voices danced they spoke in rustled rumbles low their hosts the evergreens. Thanks for letting me read it	2004-08-27 10:57:13
Red Sand	Wayne R. Leach	The first four lines are quite vivid and to me contrasts nicely with the last six in that they are very descriptive, I particularly liked: a newborn wound widens; Thanks for letting me read it.	2004-08-27 09:28:03
japanese verse 56 (Lilac)	Erzahl Leo M. Espino	I keep churning purple blows over in my mind and have a tough time making sense of it , I get it if it should be blow, but maybe its just me	2004-08-26 14:37:56
America	marilyn terwilleger	Isn't begemed spelled begemmed, My favorite Part in this is Capricious seasons blush His palette with ice blue sky, amber leaves, and rowdy flowers kissed by His chandelier, then drenched with shimmering moonbeams. but I also like the sapphire seas that cradle it part too. Thanks for letting me read it.	2004-08-26 13:53:53
Here in the Dark	Patricia Gibson-Williams	Hauting, especially the line: Shadowy demons haunt troubled halls once pulsing with cosmic vigor makes one feel the the late night fears and how gripping they can be, thanks for letting me read it	2004-08-26 08:16:47
Customized Love	Jana Buck Hanks	I must be really thick today, it took several reads for me to decide that webs here is a verb and not a noun here, at least thats what I think. The line: entwined clasp of smoothness marred by thick golden bands persistent skin compression is my fav set of words in this poem, thanks for letting me read it.	2004-08-25 11:11:53
A Rose for You	Wayne R. Leach	a rose, a love in thaughts they intertwine the stuff of stories, myths and sonnents too they bring each other close to whats divine the lips and petals each expressing true the legs, the stem, a path hands long to go anticipation enjoying the pause in moments before moments sonnents grow captured desire in the mind the cause whatever could be sweeter than the wait whatever could drive senses more senseless whatever could come closer to relate whatever could drive one more defenceless but words, words permeated with the heat of perfumed meanig to the heart complete	2004-08-24 20:57:59
INSOMNIA	Jana Buck Hanks	oh boy! My wife has acid reflux so I can relate to this poem although hers stomach isn't asload as a bull frog, and hey is this a product placement in a poem, I hope your getting a cut; well just kidding, but I enjoyed the poem, thanks for letting me read it	2004-08-24 16:11:41
Heart Eyes	JACK M HRINIAK	Is the black king the sun unseen, thats how I read it but I keep wondering if thats how its meant, assuming that it does something I really like to see in poems , lets me read alot into what the blind man receives from the sun, Thanks for letting me read it	2004-08-24 13:43:23
Wading with the muse	Lynda G Smith	a passionately writen poem, That for me at least flowed off the brain very well. My fav lines: send me skimming over waves to dip my staves in passions’ water Thanks for letting me read it.	2004-08-24 11:09:21
japanese verse 58 (Rooster)	Erzahl Leo M. Espino	I like this one better than the photograph one , Im haven't yet visited that haiku site you spoke of in your reply to that one but if I want to really get a handle on these I guess I better so I can give a more helpful critique	2004-08-24 08:23:11
Tolerance	Andrea M. Taylor	I agree with the first two lines and wonder if the third necessarly follows, but then I realize thats inserting logic into poetry and its more important in what way tolerance is blind faith. I'll chew 0n that for awhile and say the last line sums it up nicely. Thanks for letting me read	2004-08-23 15:25:40
Maundy Thursday	G. Donald Cribbs	I really like the ending seven lines on this, and enjoyed the poem I've always considered a walk through the woods as something redeeming.	2004-08-23 11:39:14
Moonlight	marilyn terwilleger	the majesty of creation ,boiled down to a haiku that i keep rereading to see if i can suggest any improvements but to be honest i haven't got any, Thanks for letting me read i really enjoyed it	2004-08-23 08:37:03
The Helpmeet	G. Donald Cribbs	i keep rereading this and wonder if i understand it , as it seems the I in the poem is a baby dear within the womb and then the lines: I came from. Now the earth aches for my hands to work its clay-flesh, to put on leaves, subdue it. seem to run counter to what I was thinking , maybe you can help me out with that	2004-08-22 19:37:50
Conception	G. Donald Cribbs	clustered and eager to put on flesh. That line really got me, sounds like it will be a stellar birth, not sure about any changes i would make, although i thought the third set was to ordinary until i hit the third line the good sweat part brought it back to the moment at hand very well, thanks for letting me read	2004-08-22 18:23:08
The Hand that Fills Your Cup	Joanne M Uppendahl	are these birds of pray, I enjoyed this poem alot and doubt I could improve it in any way, perhaps saying what i liked best would be most helpful. Which would be all of the last: As you each fill your cup of joy, you spill grace notes so transient I cannot summarize them here. But surely the hand that fills your cup has filled my own once more. thanks for letting me read it	2004-08-22 17:37:26
The Ephod	G. Donald Cribbs	I always wonder about a poem, if i get it - that is do i understand the writers intent, then again can I ever? and again is that really relevent? and so your poem brings these questions to mind because two lines where I now see more of the startled philosophers and along the path, away from epiphanies in fathomless dark I always find it easier to point out what I like than what possible changes might improve a piece thanks for letting me read	2004-08-22 15:14:50
Search	Edwin John Krizek	I see desire charging up a path looking for the single moment within all moments, your poem snatched these to lines from within my skulls' contents, I think its always a plus for a poem to inspire, thanks for letting me read it	2004-08-22 14:02:31
Virgin Snow	cheryl a kelley	This seems to stand apart from most I've read here from the first line and reminds me that in critiqueing a poem the critique usually says more about the reader than whats read, I think this is ona poem theres much to read into it than at first is apparant and thats always a good thing, Thanks for letting me read it	2004-08-22 13:44:56
japanese verse 57 (Photographs)	Erzahl Leo M. Espino	Can I write haiku question vibrating escapes captured by your words	2004-08-22 13:14:11
New Hope Shopping	DeniMari Z.	maybe, its because I'm from pa. that I find this interesting, but I prefer to delude my self I,m more objective than that, seems very vivid to me, I don't think I have any improvements to give so I'll just say that the lines quietly amused by shoppers seeking, candles to dream with , struct me as the best, thanks for letting me read it	2004-08-22 12:46:39
Speed Metal	Jeff Green	I don't know if some of this poem is just getting by me or what, but I found parts a little disjointed. However I liked it quite abit and the line About lidocaine flat feet really got me. Thanks for letting me read	2004-08-21 17:19:23
Trip to the City	Edwin John Krizek	I read this as a contrast between the complex (the City) and the simple life (the Home), and must agree that faith in the simple home life gives me great comfort, if thats whats meant i get it though perhaps i'm wrong.	2004-08-18 16:18:06
Lavender Luminance	Mell W. Morris	Always find it interesting to read poems on poems, I found the line about the Alphabet of discontent especially charming although I had misgivings about the last bit as it seemed out of place to me with the rest, although of corse maybe I just didn't get it.	2004-08-18 16:04:16
