Poem Title Poet Name Critique Given by Annette L Cowling Critique Date
Her Healing Hands Mark D. Kilburn Mark - I enjoyed reading your poem, what a lovely piece of work! You've incorporated nature throughout the poem and the effect is very nice. Thank you for sharing! Annette 2003-12-06 20:34:22
Watermarks Mell W. Morris Mell - Your poem has a kind of moody sadness to it and I think you've done an excellent job of describing the city surrounding this most interesting character in the poem. In the midst of the descriptions of the view of the lake and the print shop is a tribute of sorts for a person proud of his heritage, but realistic enough to admit what he dislikes about it and rises above it. That is my view. In enjoyed your poem, thanks for sharing. Annette 2003-12-06 12:22:40
The Wall Sergio M chavez Sergio - What a moving poem! I especially like the part about perpetual euphoria...a lovely nursery to breed the demons. The descriptions you've used are great, thanks for a great poem. Annette 2003-12-03 16:02:52
Tsa-ga-gla-tal Joanne M Uppendahl Joanne - I love unusual titles for poems and this one fits that criteria. The moon is inspirational nearly anytime of the year. Thanks for sharing your poetic perspective. I enjoyed it! Annette 2003-11-24 05:11:08
Day At The Beach marilyn terwilleger Marilyn - I enjoyed your poem, it's very descriptive and moving. I thought of this very subject the other day while viewing a newscast and seeing the palm trees in distant places of turmoil. There are all too many lovely places being spoiled by war. Or the poem brings to mind, the places that have only ever known war and have no idea what a scenic beach is, and how lucky we are to have the lovely oceansides and islands that we have. One other thing I would add is that the word horizon, is spelled horizan in your poem. A small typo, but a beautiful poem. Annette 2003-11-23 13:57:09
The Cross Jordan Brendez Bandojo Jordan - A very unique poem of encouragement and one that we can all identify with. Thanks for sharing! Annette 2003-11-21 06:33:38
Crafted in the Hands of Shakespeare April Rose Ochinang Claessens April - I am partial to this type of poetry, it has such a regal quality to it. Your descriptions are romantically imaginative and this maintains the readers attention. Very well done! Annette 2003-11-20 07:13:21
The Other Side Mell W. Morris Mell - What a beautiful piece of work! This poem is so pleasing to the senses with descriptive phrases that flow together so well. Funny you should write that your favorite bridges are not the formal ones, but the older wooden ones. Indeed the faded old bridges seem to spark the imagination the most and we are more keenly aware of our surroundings by their inspiration. The great lines in your poem are too numorous to mention, but I guess my favorite one would be: "Covered with honeysuckle vines that twine along the railing, they assail with spendid scents". This is really superb writing! Annette 2003-11-19 08:02:07
Birth Right Ken Dauth Ken - Your poem is so true and it says so much. Well done. Annette 2003-11-18 15:33:18
The Rush Ken Dauth Ken - I cannot believe what a great poem this is! You have exciting emotion in every stanza and your word choices are excellent! I wouldn't change a thing. Annette 2003-11-18 15:29:50
Finding Hope Rick Barnes Rick - There is plenty of inspiration in nature as winter begins to take hold and you certainly found your inspiration with this poem. I love your descriptions and the title is excellent. Thanks for providing a truly great poem to read. Annette 2003-11-17 16:09:35
A Better Man stephen g skipper Stephen - I really enjoyed this poem! It has such an elegant romantic quality about it. I particularily love the part in the second stanza about tears being caught by angels without wings. That description alone sets the mood for a wonderful poem. Looking back on days gone by and dancing with the same woman is needless to say a blissfully romantic notion. I like your poem. Keep up the great work! Annette 2003-11-13 07:22:39
A Fragment Sandra J Kelley Sandra - I get the feeling from this poem that the writer is devoted to his craft. He is writing for the satifaction of utilizing the skill he was born with. The words going up into the air is a very moving part. I like the unique idea of writing for the sake of writing and not looking for any return. This is an idea I have not seen before. Keep up the good work! Annette 2003-11-13 07:07:32
Talking To The Trees Mell W. Morris Mell - I am not an expert at all in critiquing poetry. The extent of my writing experience is really just exchanging poems every other week with another writer of poetry. He is a writer of songs as well as poetry. I am new to this phase of writing, but I do know what I like. Your poem "Talking To The Trees" really makes me quite envious, because it deals with the seasonal falling of leaves and turns that subject into a reason to rejoice! I especially like the comparison you made in the third paragraph: "Leaves are like pages of poetry that assuage loneliness." I think the ending is really powerful! Your poem certainly is as good or better than I have read in books of poetry. Excellent writing! Annette 2003-11-09 19:47:42
