Norsemen of Antiquity	Thomas H. Smihula	I keep coming back top this one wanting to comment but unsure if I can do it adequate, I enjoy it quite abit and of course it brings the name leaf erikson to mind and the hardships the Norsemen faced so long ago, Thanks for the good read.	2004-12-22 09:58:55
THE KING HAS SPOKEN	Monica ONeill	Very whimsical piece of poetry, that seems to capture every kitty I've ever known, PURRRRRRRRRfect!!!	2004-12-21 07:19:17

Nightmare At My Street	Erzahl Leo M. Espino	No light on your subject just found it an an interesting read and thanks for all the notes as they give necesassary perspective, and even though I'm of European descent I'll eat lighter.	2004-12-16 10:50:11
The Stones I Carry	Medard Louis Lefevre Jr.	Are the stones a metaphor, which I think they must be if they can break temptations which makes me wonder at what breaks scornful stares, walls(i'll assume all walls we build between our selves and others), light( knowledge of ourselves perhaps ), and temptations. I'm not certain if their just general faults or perhaps something more specific, Thanks for letting me read and comment on this interesting poem.	2004-12-16 10:44:46
Lunar Longing	Joanne M Uppendahl	Does this mean the planet's Saturn Moon Titan is now a star, at least the Earths natural satellite can look hopeful to playing at least a cameo on up coming films, Thanks for the good read enjoyed it much.	2004-12-06 08:35:11
November Elegy (connected haiku)	Joanne M Uppendahl	In the first I see the leaves twirling in the wind, giving asignal in the second for the animals to depart, the third one makes me think do the leaves seek burial at all I find myself answering yes only in the sence that to join with the soil it will once more become part of a living being once more only of course after it hang glides through the scenic space between the limb it leaves behind and the embrcae of the ground, and lastly the geese making what sounds like their getaway glad to hit the vacation sites they've been dreaming of. Thanks as always for letting me read and comment.	2004-12-06 07:46:34
The Cabin	marilyn terwilleger	This poem pretty well captivated me ( I think I read it about Ten times) I wouldn't change a thing.	2004-12-02 14:52:06
Autumn Tambourines	DeniMari Z.	Enjoyed reading this one very much, lots of images to stroll through my mind, all my tambourines have fallen and need to be collected although the wind is sharing them with the neighbors, now its time for me to return to that mysterious pool.	2004-12-01 11:39:48
The Things I Leave Undone	marilyn terwilleger	Always good to hike through your lines of emerald and crimson, makes the mind climb and I think I know well the line: Known absurd folly of eagerness I relly like the line: Now the sharp edge of midnight creeps Although after a couple of reads I still wonder about the wizard sun, Thanks for letting me read and comment.	2004-11-30 09:35:31
Earth, Moon and Sun (connected haiku)	Joanne M Uppendahl	The dance of our solar system (well a small part of it but I thought mars might try to cut in) they interact and without speaking express emotion, especially the earths blazing heart( although I hope it doesn't light up that could be a nuclear expression) Thanks for letting me read and comment.	2004-11-30 09:23:15
verse 66 (Stars)	Erzahl Leo M. Espino	Line wine makes me think of champaigne, I see the bubbles leaving an open bottle and floating into the air especially when followed by line two - what better way to steal a vow. But it makes me wonder how they feel about the moons nuptials . sounds like their jealous. Thanks for letting me read and comment.	2004-11-30 09:16:20
Winter Waltz	Patricia Gibson-Williams	This one charms me, it just flows so well and up here in Pa. we get snow every year. I'll build a snowman/snowwoman for you. Thanks for letting me read and comment.	2004-11-29 15:05:48

Great Blue Heron Sighting	Joanne M Uppendahl	this reminds me of when I was about ten, that summer a blue heron made its summer home at a pond near our home.

Electrifying Remembrance of "Don't do that!"	Paul R Lindenmeyer	Sounds like you were the conductor of a shocking truth, Thanks for letting me read and comment.	2004-11-29 13:47:04
Last Milk	Kenneth R. Patton	The knowledge that we're on our own can strike us unaware and then its a matter of how we deal with it of course. Thanks for letting me read and comment.	2004-11-29 13:16:45
The Clock	Patricia Gibson-Williams	My wife and I have been trying for a second child for the last couple of years, but now that she's just turned 45 she feels like it just isn't going to happen for us, and she can hear the tick tock of your poem very clearly.

Lost Magic	Kenneth R. Patton	My father seemed to get very old over night in 1981( he died feb. 1982 ) it is very sobering to realize and think upon your own aging but also appreciate things a bit more too. Thats what your poem reminds me. Thanks for letting me read and comment .	2004-11-29 11:32:24
Be There	Regis L Chapman	I really like the crunchy part of the soul bit especially coming on the heals of the salad line makes me think of a waldorf salad, does that mean my soul is a walnut? Thanks for letting me read and comment.	2004-11-29 11:28:22
Blood and roses.	Keith Robson	You planted in my minds garden the picture of a rose bluming in the mists of battle, not because of but in spite of the brutalty surrounding it. Thanks for letting me read and comment.	2004-11-29 10:53:59
My wretched shower	Mark Andrew Hislop	This one sounds regretful of something perhaps that could have been that somehow was allowed to go, and makes me think that there are those things that can not be washed away. Thanks for letting me read and comment.	2004-11-29 10:49:33
This Guy Walked into the Dover Beach Starbuck's	Thomas Edward Wright	this poems perculating with ideas, after a couple of readings I'm not sure of anything I would filter out.

All Things Pass	Kenneth R. Patton	Your note helped me connect with this poem because otherwise I wouldn't have connected the last line with the rest of the poem or at least not easily. Thanks for letting me read and comment.	2004-11-29 10:28:03

verse 64 (Doubts)	Erzahl Leo M.

Raw Remains	Nancy Ann Hemsworth	This reminds me I'm to the point where I open the frigerator and then wonder what I was even looking for and if some one interupts me mid sentence.............................................I have trouble knowing what I was talking about. And although I'm lucky enough to still have my mother alive I'm reminded more of my grand mother. She had a hearing aid and her boy friend did too.

Silence	marilyn terwilleger	This seems to me simpler then the ones you write now and yet like now it is emotional, so I would say you've gotten more complex and interesting but still you have your own voice. Thanks for letting me read and comment.	2004-10-22 19:11:24
Squaw (revised and lenghtened)	timothy joseph canezaro	This is definitely a powerful poem full of great images, it lets the brain just take off with some suggested at themes as well as having a center theme as well, and the thought of seducing death provokes me into imaginative fancy, thanks for the good read.	2004-10-22 18:28:14

Willwind	Regis L Chapman	Plant your feet firmly into the world of ideas and grow to be a mindful seeker of truth.	2004-10-22 09:54:30
Digital Poetry	Rick Barnes	If its digital poetry wouldn't it be in binary, or perhaps hexidecimal (that used to be what I used to incode with on my old comodore 64 back in the early 80's.
