Poem Title	Poet Name	Critique Given by Claire H. Currier	Critique Date
"For Unto Us..."	Paul R Lindenmeyer	I do pray your Christmas was blessed with the gifts of the Spirit, peace, love and joy......this one is well presented, words flow, images appear and emotions are felt and shared. Indeed a child is born and what a great Child He is..........thanks for posting, nice to hear from you, be safe, stay well, God Bless, Claire	2007-12-27 04:48:12
---------------- Vendors	Thomas H. Smihula	If the vendor is promoting 'home made' items then her spirit is indeed excited to share in her creations of wares; perhaps her speech rambles on to some but to others its just what they want to hear.......I do agree though others are there to make that dollar before heading back home. Your words flow well, your thoughts flow and thus bring forth many images of beauty within oneself and the world that one may miss. I used to be one of those vendors locally at fairs and flea markets and I was always eager to bring my items for showing. It is amazing the people you meet, the stories they might share, perhaps they already bought from you before and are returning since they were pleased with their purchases. One year I made and sold Angels.......of course I kept many for myself and gave away a few in the process...........they were crochet with feathers for their wings and you could either stand them or hand them on the wall or window.......this vendor has seen many sunrises, and sunsets, she has listened to the wind as it wiggled through the trees and watched the sun as it burnt through the morning fog. Thanks Tom for the memories of long ago that are still close to my heart. I would also share my poetry at these shows........now my friend that was the best part of all. Take care, my prayers are with you always; may the Lord continue to bless you and yours as this year comes to a close and a new one opens for all to enjoy. God Bless, Claire	2007-12-27 04:45:00
Guilt Ridden	Dellena Rovito	Amen poet, well presented and penned, indeed the feelings, emotions, images are all there. Would be nice to find world peace but sad as it is I do not feel it is in the cards as yet. Perhaps if we all take a stand for peace, love, harmony it might come to pass. We each travel a road in life, perhaps one that does not compare with another, yet it is our choices we make that leads us where we are heading.........I for one wish 'family' would return to the days of old when mom, dad and grandparents lived in harmony and the children were never left alone to fend for themselves. Merry Christmas Dellena, God Bless, Claire	2007-12-21 19:26:07
Incompatibility Without the Flowers	James C. Horak	I love it....love the visuals of the banging on the old with spoons and the new one which is still like new. This is a plus for poery........thanks for the smile, God Bless, Merry Christmas, Claire	2007-12-21 19:21:42
Happy Birthday Deb	Michael Bird	Perhaps you are in a way wishing Debbie a happy birthday within the lines of this read poet but I find more a release of the spirit allowing her to soar and indeed be free, you have given qualities of her life that will indeed live on forever and yes, someday you too will be together again in God's Heavenly Garden. May you find peace within as well.......God Bless, Claire	2007-12-18 09:06:02
Sunrise to Sunset	Thomas H. Smihula	each day is indeed a new beginning of our journey through life......the past has been walked through, the battles faced and many won.....the future holds what the Lord wants it to hold and we are still given the right to choose our own way/path. Enjoyed the read, the thoughts and images you created once more. May you be blessed this Christmas with God's continued love and may He always walk beside you through life. My thoughts and my prayers continue to flow your way.........God Bless, Claire	2007-12-18 09:01:07
Unmasked	Mary J Coffman	Beautifully penned and I am certain one that has touched your friends heart as she has touched so many others. Enjoyed the format, the word flow, the images and even the sounds presented within the lines. Thank you for sharing, God Bless, Claire	2007-12-18 08:55:27
When I Die	Michael Bird	Beautiful read Micheal one that certainly was inspired from above. Your words bring to life the one you are so searching for, I can hear her voice speaking to you.........love the gentle nature of this one. May you find such peace, love and joy as you dry your tears and rest your sorrows for I am certain your love is with you still. God Bless, Claire	2007-12-18 08:52:43
Good Vibrations	Dellena Rovito	How wonderfully refreshing this one is Dellena, love the thought of music setting the pace withing one's being.......actually, since my heart surgery not only I but others near me can actually hear my heart beating and it is usually to a lovely slow pace where no fear or agitation comes near. It is nice too that you are able to change the wavelength of harmony within when something does go wrong. Your words also bring forth an image and feeling of calmness which is so often missed in this world of ours. Merry Christmas, continued penning and peace for the New Year.......God Bless, Claire	2007-12-10 08:43:21
Whispers	Rene L Bennett	For an expirement you certainly have captured what you were seeking poet, your words bring forth the images you seek allowing the beauty of it all to filter in. rolling brook, deaf ears, stood alone, midnight clouds, stars laughed in silence (enjoyed the twinkle in them as well) actually if you listen close to the wind it does speak out to us; probably tells us a little more then calling out our name but that is for another poem from your pen. Good job, thanks for posting, God Bless, Claire	2007-12-09 02:35:46
The Awakening	Debbie Spicer	and in the darkness shinneth the Everlasting Light.......Debbie this is a super read, one that is filled with so much more than one can actually see. The Awakening is a befitting title and it says so much within itself. Your world once filled with all that darkness now allows for the Light to shine in and the feelings and emotions that are good are once more within. So nice to find your work my friend, so nice to get a good feeling from your words, God Bless, Merry Christmas, Claire	2007-12-09 02:29:56
The Gateway	Monica ONeill	A soft read Moni that touches one's heart and opens one's mind to life, death and what may come after. I do believe one is never far from us as their spirit is now free of pain and suffering here on earth and your words actually bring this image to life with the flow of your pen. Indeed, I can see Arnie and you walking this walk, taking those private talks, sharing a moment in time which is now only a memory but one held dear within the lining of your heart. I love to visit the ocean and walk the edge of the water, finding peace within this vast space for indeed it is a creation from the Hands of God.........may you find peace, love and joy this Christmas season..........may you always feel Arnie within your heart. God Bless, Claire	2007-12-09 02:18:59
Heaven's Moon	marilyn terwilleger	Beautifully penned for this Holy Season poet, your words glow with the birth of Jesus.......love the images, the feelings and emotions this one places within your heart as well. You can hear the Angels singing welcoming the Newborn KING.......Thanks for posting and brightening this world....God Bless, Claire	2007-12-09 02:12:27
BUFFY'S SONG AND RISING ABOVE IT ALL	Mark D. Kilburn	Beautifully penned, one is with you in the sweat lodge and the experience you have shared with us simply touches your soul.........Love indeed lifts us all up where we belong and especially so when we reach out to the ONE that has loved us from the beginning. We all miss Mel in one way or another; she truely was an inspiration to us all in many ways............I am sure she is watching over you and always will. God Bless, Claire	2007-12-06 07:41:08
Green Christmas Purse	Lola Blaze	Very enjoy able read poet, well penned, filled with many images and thoughts of the season that should be carried through the coming year. Thanks for posting, God Bless, Claire	2007-12-06 00:39:32
Peeking Through the Branches	Thomas H. Smihula	I've seen too many war movies, heard first hand accounts of friends as they returned from war.....prayed hard for my nephew and son in law as they took their turn protecting and serving our country. I see, I feel and I long to hold those who were left behind to thank them for their sacrifices and to let them know they are loved even today......a shame the world did not feel like this in many wars though........I see the enemy peeking through the branches watching and waiting to strike and take their kill in hand. I am sure though this way or another it is a fine read with much thought involved. God Bless, Claire	2007-11-27 00:38:27
Tapestry	marilyn terwilleger	What a lovely tapestry you have created with your words poet.......Fall in itself is a sad season for the world seems to be coming to a close per say; a rest for a few months and the images you created bring forth one last piece of beauty within each line. Perhaps you were at this same place with your husband before hge earned his angel wings and shared such a view. Hope you know he is and will always be a part of your tapestry created through life. Thanks for posting, beautifully done as always. God Bless, Claire	2007-11-27 00:33:03
Watching Time	Rene L Bennett	When we watch the time it certainly takes its toll.......must say I enjoyed the one or two words per line, they say so much and allow for our own images to take hold, brings forth memories probably put aside for some time as well and that is not a bad thing either. It is more then difficult to let go of someone we love, there are so many sayings I do not care to listen to when we do lose someone close to our hearts. I do believe you are taking one step at a time and that you are heading in the right direction for all that you have been through these past few years. God Bless, Claire	2007-11-24 02:51:37
A Moment In Time	Thomas H. Smihula	As with all of your work my friend your words just flow, nice easy rhyme, many wonderful images created, much thought for a moment in time.........peaceful too, love that inner peace feeling. Thanks, God Bless, Claire	2007-11-24 02:45:29
In the Caves	Thomas H. Smihula	Reminds me of the caves in the White Mountains here in New England where we can go deep within the ground feeling days gone by, searching for treasures, finding deep wells and often memories left on the stone walls within. Perhaps the thought of someone finding romance, love, dancing within and bursting forth certainly do come to mind and thus your images are deep and wonderful. One need not go too deep to find treasures though for some are really right on top in front of your eyes. God Bless, Claire	2007-11-22 08:57:03
Ticket in her pocket	Deborah L Bird	Michael as difficult as it was to post this please know it is greatly appreciated for Debbie touched all of us here at TPL in one way or another......her work will live along with her memory forever in our hearts as well as in yours, just in a different way. The work may have been left unfinished yet her thoughts, and wishes along with her own memories and dreams are held within the lines, her words continue to flow and bring forth images for all to see and feelings to feel. May your holiday be blessed with her memories and love and may the Lord continue to hold you in His loving arms. God Bless, Claire	2007-11-21 08:14:14
Must Be	Thomas H. Smihula	Beautifully penned poet and one whose words may travel in many different directions for the reader. Love all the colors you chose to represent the different ways one may go and indeed the closing line fits perfectly....thanks for posting, God Bless, Claire It is a shame no one is really critiquing or responding as they should. I pray everyone is doing well and will enjoy Thanksgiving as it should be.....God Bless, Claire	2007-11-19 08:56:29
The Quest	Thomas H. Smihula	Interesting read Tom, interesting path your world has taken us. Her native American smile reminds me of my ste daughter who has deep roots within her soul........her high cheek bones, long black hair and beauty of inner peace always stand out........I sense you have found such a beauty and your two souls may have touched in this lifetime thus the images created within. Thanks again for posting, be safe, God Bless, Claire	2007-11-18 20:47:39
A Dream	Thomas H. Smihula	I dreamt often as a child with one dream over and over again, brought fear to my heart so much I did not want to sleep. Not now.......dreams may come and may go.....colors often are found within the few moments which seem to last the night.......love the way you have expressed this one Tom with the colors and what you associate them to be with. Enjoyed the rhyme as well as the images created with the flare of your pen. Take care, God Bless, Claire	2007-11-18 20:44:02
Memories and Smiles	Rene L Bennett	Beautifully stated Rene and I might add a healing in your heart........once more your words flow so very well, images are created and emotions felt, I could hear music in the background as you danced in each others arms. I wish you well in your journey and I thank you for posting with the link and sharing this with us. God Bless, Claire	2007-11-16 14:15:09
Lad of Seven	Thomas H. Smihula	Oh Thomas.......I just knew in my heart where this one was taking me for memories of my own son, spending all day Sunday in the house, sitting by the phone came bursting forth and as in your work the call never came, the boy sat like this Sunday after Sunday.........proud to say he grew into a fine man, is married with two girls of his own and he has a relationship with his dad after many years of disappointment. I am certain this will touch the heart of many who have been there too. Where there is love I do believe hope also lives within.....God Bless, Claire	2007-11-15 22:02:57
Existence	Thomas H. Smihula	You certainly have a way with words Tom and indeed they certainly bring forth images created by the flare of your pen and the flow of those words.....makes me want to live life rather then to exist in it......actually it brought forth many other questions and thoughts as well pertaining to life and how we live it....thanks once more for posting, God Bless, Claire	2007-11-15 21:57:28
Forgotten	Thomas H. Smihula	Once more you have captured the scene and brought it back to life......I remember well when my husband was in the service during this time of war and how many friends we lost to gunfire.....sometimes it was friendly fire....yet the results were the same.......It saddens me to think they might be forgotten souls though......they gave their best and should be remembered among the best. Thanks for posting, God Bless, Claire	2007-11-15 18:40:12
Rain	Thomas H. Smihula	Breathtaking this one is Tom and so full of images........the words just roll and flow allowing one to pick and choose perhaps which direction they might enjoy going in........each stanza stands out in its own way and I just enjoyed it all. Some of it hits home too. Thanks for posting, you are so gifted. God Bless, Claire	2007-11-15 18:35:57
Everything Is	Thomas H. Smihula	a most difficult time for certain when the world itself was so up and down, turned around, filled with so many emotions, fear, hopes, despair, where is the peace we searched for during those difficult years and what indeed has happened to the brave men and women who served their country well.........still, answers left unfilled, lives turned upside down, in and out, friends and families torn apart and you have penned it all, My husband and I lost many friends in this war and those that did return are still in a struggle of their own personal hell..........you can be surrounded by thousands and still be alone my friend as you well know..........and you can be alone and feel the love of family and friends surrounding you where ever you may go. Sorry to ramble my friend. Well presented, feelings from the heart to be shared with others for sure. God Bless, Claire	2007-11-14 04:49:38
My Little Black Book	Thomas H. Smihula	I feel your little black book is a personal diary of your life....the good, the bad, the times in between, the hopes, dreams, times shared and what is yet to come........like the way you wrote this one the easy flow of your words allowing for an easy read.........the thought of a little black book tends to send thoughts elsewhere but not you my friend. My thoughts and my prayers are with you as you face a bigger challenge knowing the Lord is with you all the way.....God Bless, Claire	2007-11-14 04:42:12
Sighs of Autumn	marilyn terwilleger	Bringing forth an old poem to be shared with us speaks of the poet.......your pen has been busy for some time my friend and beautifully expressed I may add is the change in the season, the whispers and other sounds of fall in the air..........I enjoy the sounds of the changing seasons though when old man winter arrives I always want to send him packing with the first heavy blow........hope all is well with you.......keep the link going.........God Bless, Claire	2007-11-13 09:04:58
An Elegy For The Complication	Thomas Edward Wright	I am so filled with the pictures, emotions, love, memories you have penned in this one......from start to finish it was a wonderful read.......I was hoping for more. Thanks, God Bless, Claire	2007-11-13 08:57:49
The Misguided	Dellena Rovito	God help you if you opened your mouth in opposition to what is going on for indeed the men in black would be right there to take you away never to be seen again............well stated poet, well presented, if the world held hands and took a stand perhaps we might be able to make a difference in it all. The fear for many keeps their eyes and mouth closed to what is possible and indeed they are led, like cattle to slaughter. The thought of being at the mercy of anyone for your own survival is enough to put the fear of God into someone........yet when they say here, take your medicine you do, give to the poor and go without for today, sign over your home before its too late, one thing after another......sure, I remember when mom and dad used to tell us one thing and you better be doing it or else.........some of that has remained with us during our walk through life.....yet, I still enjoy the thought of going against the grain, doing what I know is right rather then doing what I am told is right.......life is indeed an unending journey with many roads to take......it is up to us to know which road is the right road.......I would not enjoy being led to slaughter nor watch anyone I knew and loved be led either. Thanks for posting, for sharing what you know to be true. God Bless, Claire	2007-11-12 02:13:12
Inner Oceans	Mary J Coffman	Enjoyed the read very much.......I am always amazed at how one can take a word and create a mountain of emotions, feelings and images......you have done this with this one Mary and it is so very well done. Inner Oceans is a good title for this one , easy to read form, word flow, inner feelings that one might find hard to release otherwise.......thanks for posting once more.....God Bless, Claire	2007-11-12 02:03:53
Those That Kill Their Own	James C. Horak	After reading this my friend I feel in my heart that indeed, TPL is dying a slow painful death...those who have been here forever cannot believe perhaps that Chris would do such a thing yet.........it is more then evident within the past months........can't say few for we have been deserted for some time now. you have penned it all James and my heart cries with the rest........can you imagine how Mel, Arnie and all those who have already earned their angel wings must be now shedding a tear or two as they also poured their heart and soul into TPL. I still believe in miracles and I am hoping that Chris will wake up and see what he has done to those who have stood by him all this time. thanks, God Bless, Claire	2007-11-10 21:30:58
Sparrow Tears	marilyn terwilleger	WOW Marilyn this poem is amazing......from start to finish it keeps the reader filled with images, feelings, emotions, perhaps a memory or two comes back for her to feel only........to me it represents eighty years of life......I like the tears being shed by the Sparrow and the hope of more to come with the single daisy at the end of the read. Thanks for posting, happy Thanksgiving my friend, God Bless, Claire	2007-11-09 07:10:04
A Filioque	Thomas Edward Wright	Thomas this is from the heart and so very well written.......enjoyed the sharing of your family with us in this way and the images created with the flow of your pen certainly caught my attention more then once....of course it brought back many memories as well...........I too wish we could somehow go back to those times and make it last a little bit longer or pull some of it into the future. God Bless, Claire	2007-11-08 09:05:48
Winter's Magic	Jana Buck Hanks	Well done Jana the way you have penned the words bringing forth images of the coming seasons.....fall into winter,bringing forth a time of change as we set our clocks back this past weekend, the children celebrating Halloween with all the ghostly things abound, the sight of the full moon as it appeared in the nights sky and the wind whispering in the woods as leaves continue to fall to the ground. Very enjoyable. Thanks for posting, going on my list surely.....God Bless, Claire	2007-11-05 09:32:22
Awaken	Thomas H. Smihula	Wow Tom what an awakening you have had.....indeed an experience well worth sharing with all who will listen. I have read this four times already and it is so intense, so filled with images, emotions, feelings, thoughts, hopes, prayer, something you wrote six years ago and here you are.......still helping others to see the Light.......enjoyed the word flow and the images created, the horseman, the intense heat, the Light, the stillness of sound/voices. Actually, if we stop and think even for a short while.....all we have is today......tomorrow is promised to none of us and when we live it it is today..........thanks for posting, hope and pray you are well.........be safe, be warm, enjoy the rest of the fall.....God Bless, Claire	2007-11-04 14:19:40
Forget Me Not	Rene L Bennett	Rene this is lovely and filled with many emotions; images created with the flare of your pen, great rhyme which allows the entire piece to flow like a river........I enjoyed it from start to finish and I know how difficult it was for you to pen.........I do pray each day is a little easier for you and that those memories continue to help you heal from your deep losses........God Bless, Claire	2007-10-28 22:22:31
the sackman	charles r pitts	Great tale for this week my friend and indeed frightening even for the dead........sorry your friend's mom did this to you back then ......always frightening walking through the woods alone whether day or night.....your words do flow very well though and images continue as does the walk through the woods.......the sackman....neat title too....... slung across his ogre-ish back a coppered rust-stained corpse's sack for feeding flesh and bones to crack in shadow makes his way (this is so striking to ones mind and I will always check the woods behind the house before venturing too far in).....Enjoy the holiday........might even make a great little story book for children.......God Bless, Claire	2007-10-27 18:42:24
Autumn Voices in the Breeze	James C. Horak	Well poet I just finished helping my guy rake up the front yard and as your poem states, burr, the wind was moving the leaves about this way and that, the cold north east winds were beginning to howl and I began protesting........life is like that at times too. Thanks for posting and sharing, God Bless, Claire	2007-10-26 15:14:46
Fragility	Marsha Steed	A nice creation of what is on its way poet.....the season is changing and winter wonders will soon be in the making and your words have created such a beauty of one........ Life's own miracles slip through my fingers sometimes, like crystal ice roses under scurrying feet. I enjoyed the feelings and images with the above stanza for indeed, life's own miracles often slip through unseen by those that should have taken the time to stop and look, to stop and feel, to stop and share...... Thanks for posting, great job, God Bless, Claire	2007-10-26 15:12:44
Healing Prayer	DeniMari Z.	The loss of a child, no matter what age is most difficult .....a part of our own heart and soul must pass with them so it seems for the void is constant and the pain always there. This is a good healing poem/prayer for you are reaching out to the Lord, you are not blaming Him for the loss and you know your son is with the Lord safe and whole......one certainly feels your pain and your loss within the lines of this one and I pray you find the peace and tranquility you are seeking soon. Please know that your son is home with his Heavenly Father, he is at peace, he suffers no more and he is able to watch over you every moment of every day. He is always within the lining of your heart so let those wonderful memories flow and you will come to find peace within. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your healing process. Prayers continue to flow your way, God Bless, Claire	2007-10-24 08:51:57
Enchanted Morn	marilyn terwilleger	I love the sound of this, the images that you created with the flare of your pen and the change in season.... Well done Quatrain poem and rhyme scheme....Thanks for posting, God Bless, Claire	2007-10-20 20:06:00
To Sign...	Mary J Coffman	WOW Mary you have once again presented us with a superb read. Interesting form, words that flow and focus on allowing the reader to go where the feelings presented take them. Love the way you have connected these beautiful flowers and scents with the pleasure of love........Bravo....God Bless, Claire	2007-10-19 15:48:08
Mélange	Mary J Coffman	I am a little envious of the way you have with words my friend......indeed another wonderful read filled with love, lightness of heart and spirit and yet breathtaking. The smells further come forth as one reads on allowing more images and feelings to be felt within the lines. Nice word flow, smooth, easy and light......thanks for posting, God Bless, Claire	2007-10-19 15:41:16
Halloween Ogres	marilyn terwilleger	Wow.....you frightened me with this one.......I guess I will be careful if I go out on Halloween night.....loved the way you created and presented this, words flow bringing forth so many images, some very scarry at that. glad to see you sent them away until next year. My grandson is leary about heading to a party tonight with all the costumes and all. He is just two and a half........can't say I blame him though there will be adults dressed as well as children.......thanks for the holiday read; well done. God Bless, Claire	2007-10-19 09:39:03
Just Another Halloween	Monica ONeill	Hi Monica....what a delightful read....tootsie rolls always fill my Halloween dish just in case I have leftovers.......hehehe.....loved the images you created with the flare of your pen and the cat jumping into the candy dish made a big splash.....Yes, we all know WalMart and this year the costumes seem to be hanging for us bigger kids as well. I know there is a party I could go to tonight if I wear a costume but my daughter tells me since I won't cut my hair I could go as myself, hehehe.......your words rhyme very well and it is so good to see you posting again. I do think of you often, you are in my prayers. Take good care, God Bless, Claire	2007-10-19 09:35:52
