Rene L Bennett's Profile:
If you come here thinking you're going to read alot of happy, life is great, I couldn't ask for more, then you have come to the wrong place to read. I write alot of angst and come to think of it, I always have for alot of years. I think that is why I am a writer.I have these feelings inside my mind and soul so deep it seems I just can't reach deep enough to scratch them. I have always been a deep thinker and always searching for answers to the unknown. At an early age of writting, I had alot of questions. Questions about life and it's mysteries. These past three years, since my family died at the same time, I write alot about my grief. Though I am growing in the grief process, I feel I will always have a yearning for my lost loved ones and I will always write to them the rest of my life. It is my release so I can breath again and go on with life. My writings are more of a healing process for myself. Pen and paper are my best friends and have never let me down yet. I do have 2 grown sons which I am extremely proud of. They are the only family I have now and they are my life.

Poem Title Poet Name Critique Given by Rene L Bennett Critique Date
Old Folks Kenneth R. Patton Kenneth, What a honest and great write. You actually brought back my own memories of remembering when I was young and even people in their 20s and 30s seemed so ancient to me then and as I reached youth, I agree, it seemed so sad to me then how it didn't seem fair in life that my grandparents should be so old (or so I thought) And now, as I too am middle aged, I see life as intended and the old age I thought was so ancient, doesn't seem so old afterall. Thanks for the read as well as a great memory. Rene' 2008-05-28 03:49:29

The Dragon Inside Dellena Rovito Dellena, You took me through several emotions in this piece. The 1st stanza was most mild, kind of sad...the 2nd stanza, you pick your mood up and actually seems like anger flew from your pen and the 3rd stanza, I liked best of all....It doesn't really mean anything (lol) they are thoughts from awhile ago..(perfect) Always, Rene' 2008-03-07 05:35:38

The Wedding Dellena Rovito Dellena! I read this twice. It is beautiful. Perfect title too. Questions, don't you wish they would just go away sometimes. They can be haunting.

In Transit James C. Horak James, You have been penning some serious peoms lately. Dark, I like it...LOL! For some reason it is words as these I understand. Your ending...We know not to be joyed or still...perfect ending. Leaves the reader longing for more. Always, Rene' 2008-02-15 22:03:15
Not Particular marilyn terwilleger Well, I am glad you reposted it. Beautiful. Tips of tulips mouths...breathtaking. I hope soon to write with such metaphors as everyone else here seems to.

Law Office Claudia F. Sepe Hi Claudia...WOW, I take it you have been to an attornys office lately. I try to stay away from those places if at all possible though I too have been sitting in that chair wondering a time or two. Hope all is well. Rene 2008-02-15 21:39:10

A True Story Kenneth R. Patton Kenneth, I enjoyed reading your memory of your granfather. I guess back in the WW 2 era, people really did believe they were fighting a cause to finally put an end to all wars. But who was to predict the future or the advancement technology has made since then. Though, it was a good idea and a great thought for those nack then truly fighting for the cause. It makes you wonder, will war ever be obsolete? I honestly don't think it ever will be. It never has been yet. Thanks for sharing your memory and making me think. Rene' 2008-02-07 17:09:14
BUFFY'S SONG AND RISING ABOVE IT ALL Mark D. Kilburn I admit being dumb here. I honestly do not know who Buffy St. Marie is...lol. Nice write though. Always, Rene' 2007-12-07 01:49:38
Whispers of Truth James C. Horak James, This is great! Your first 2 stanzas put me exactly where I am, in winterland. Brrr. My puppy is about 5 months old and I seem to have to take him outside quite often (him being so small) and everytime I go outside, I see and feel your poem here. Especially as I stated, the 1st 2 stanzas. Seriously, as I read this, I felt myself standing outside in the cold again..lol Always, Rene' 2007-12-07 00:17:37
The Awakening Debbie Spicer Debbie, I love your imagery here. Here lately when reading other peoples poetry, I seem to get lost in the imagery and read with awe at the beauty that I see most people pen. You are no exception. Rene' 2007-12-07 00:14:51

Mortal Wings marilyn terwilleger I am not to hip on which poems are what kind (named) either way, this piece is breath taking. Like a prayer to yourself. Great job on this one poet. Defiantely a Hallmark read. Rene' 2007-11-30 01:19:40

A Moment In Time Thomas H. Smihula Your first 3 stanzas were breath taking and penned extremely beautiful Your last stanza kind of threw me off.
