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 TitlePoet NameCritique Given by Rene L BennettCritique Date
Life's WindowNaome JamesNaome, BEAUTIFUL!! I am known to have short attention span when reading at times but this kept my interest to the end. Your words paint such beauty and seem as though they were MEANT to be penned. I loved the line, Through the clouded glass, I watch the wind. You paint a picture that read like a movie in this poets mind. Welcome to TPL!! Looking forward to reading more of your work!! Seriously!! Rene'2007-10-12 19:21:33
ALL HALLOWS EVEPaul R LindenmeyerPaul!! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! Bravo! Excellent poem. It kept my interest from the very first sentence. I didn't want the story to end. You did an exceptionally excellent job in your rhymes as your words tell a story through out. Again, Bravo!! Rene'2007-10-10 01:07:04
To Sign...Mary J CoffmanMary!! I gotta say, this is exceptionally well writen. I enjoyed every beautiful word you penned. This alone.....hands speak in circles on my breast in rose petal rhymes.......can stand out alone and be writen as a haiku. (Though I have never writen one myself) lol...no, seriously, you are a excellent poet. Rene' 2007-10-10 01:04:17
First LightMary J CoffmanWow! Very bright!...LOL, get it? Yellow? oh, never mind, I am being silly. I love your metaphors. I only wish I could just sit down and write like this. My favorite of favorite stanza here is.....lemon flavour kisses of dayspring dew...BREATHTAKING!!! Rene'2007-10-09 13:35:17
TangleJames C. HorakJames, I gotta say, I love your different style of poetry. I find it very interesting and very thought provoking. I love when I see your name because it is a surprise read every time. I love your imagery and metaphors. You have this reader smiling. I feel I could learn alot from you. Rene'2007-10-09 13:33:03
The soldiers guiltSonya stewartWow! I had to read this twice. Excellent write and well thought out. I checked out the site booksie.com and low and behold, I belong to that site. I have no idea when I joined it cause I had no clue I was even a member...lol Anyway, I love your sytle and imagery. Sad words, so true for many. Rene'2007-09-25 21:03:01
Unpleasantries GaloreJames C. HorakJames, I don't know how to critique this piece because I don't understand its meaning. But alot of poeple don't understand the meaning of my poetry either because alot of it is personal and I just write what is at my fingertips at the moment. Your methaphors I must say are excellent. I could only wish to the talent to use such grace. The reason I suggested to mark about the puncuation, is that I try to learn as much as I can from anyone. I do not claim at all to be a poet. I just write a release for me as a part of my lifes healings. But I have had alot of people tell me that in poetry not to use puncuation. That is why I stopped using them. I, myself very much enjoy when someonem ESPECIALLY another poet gives me ANY advice and or help in any way. I would give just about anything to be able to pen as beautiful as the many poets I have read. But, as far as leaving to vowels out this week, what a challange. Good luck to you! Rene' 2007-09-23 13:06:34
MirageMary J CoffmanWow! I seriously think you could write a great book! This is awesome and each word kept me in anticipation for the next. You write with beauty with the most off the wall (or should I say different inspirations) I used to love to drink margaritas, so I could actually invision you standing there, in a red dress and a bar table drink your drink lost in deep thought. DID I SAY EXCELLENT IMAGERY? Rene'2007-09-22 06:43:45
E. B.James C. HorakWow! This is dfferent. It being a true story, in my opinion even makes it that much more of an enjoyable read. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us as well as your friend. Rene'2007-09-22 01:37:32
Friday Night at the PubMichael BirdI thought this was in sync with "Piano Man" I actually saw him in concert. Well done in combining the two. Not an easy task to do. Rene'2007-09-22 01:35:29
Within ReachThomas H. SmihulaThomas! I love this! Your words come to life with each stanza. Your imagery is to envy. And your metaphors are perfectly penned. Awaken for a sliver of time Repeat performance, no longer blind........breathtaking!!! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! Rene' 2007-09-22 01:32:32
BeachedMary J CoffmanMary! GREAT WRITE! And your format is perfect. Can you please tell me how to format like that here? I have yet to figure that out. Now, back to your poem, excellent, excellent imagery and metaphors. Beautifully thought out and penned with words created from the thought. I love your style because though you use imagery with metaphors, I find your work easy to read and defiantely understand. I am not scratching my head, saying, huh! Looking forward to reading more of your work. Rene'2007-09-22 01:29:11
Seat Belts Do Save LivesClaire H. CurrierClaire, This gave me goosebumps. This true story seems to actually be true for so many and younger people, teens do not realise just how dangereous the roads can be. I am so glad that every one survived. My brothers daughter died in a car wreck not even a year ago. She was 23 years old and already a practicing attorney. Seat belts for all who ride in my car is mandatory. Thank you for posting this. It should be posted everywhere for many to see expecially it being a true story. Again, for the kids in the car as well as their families, I am so very glad they all survived a lesson I hope they all remember. Rene'2007-09-15 17:19:58
PiecesMary J CoffmanMary, This is really good! I read this twice. Your inagery is writen with such a beauty and yet, not an over kill as your words tell a story. The beginning of the poem... from deep within a cocoon of sophistry you emerge....breathtaking which leads perfect to the rest of the right with every word you penned seemed perfect. 2 thumbs up for sure. Rene'2007-09-15 17:01:58

Mowed OverDellena RovitoI love the smell of fresh cut grass. When I was a child, I used to love laying in the grass and watch the clouds listening to the sound of mowers. And if lucky, a plane would go across the sky every so often. But, I guess for the one mowing, yea, lol, the sweat of summer. Rene'2007-09-03 20:51:52
TRAUMA, THE REALITYDebbie SpicerWow! Your words speak for so many, especially in the earlier days of middle aged people. When we were children, it was never spoke about and if it ever was, nothing happened except make it ten fold worse on the child, both from the attacker and the person the child confided in. Yes, it is the *gift* that keeps on giving though I wouldn't consider it a gift. I enjoyed reading your words. Rene'2007-09-03 20:49:34

The MaskDonna Carter SolesHi Donna, Sometimes one can't help but wear a mask. I wear mine often as to not be emotional vunerable to those in life. However, I write my insecurities quite often sharing only with my fellow poets. So, only those who read the words I write will ever know the real me. Others live on the other side of my mask. Excellent write! Rene'2007-08-12 00:54:24
YouthJana Buck HanksLOL, I can see where you can relate this to puberty awakening...haha, however you still used alot of imagery and metaohors in this piece making it a very enjoyable read. Rene'2007-08-12 00:44:43
MemoriesThomas H. SmihulaWow Thomas! Is this a true story? This reminds me of how a movie would end. Your ending has a bold effect on the reader, which makes for great poetry. You have a talent, for sure. Rene'2007-08-12 00:42:50
Living In The QuestionsNancy Ann HemsworthYou are so right, everyone lives life in the question. You never know what path life will lead you nor do you ever know what to expect in time, therefore yes, I agree, live life in the question. I love you imagery and my FAVORITE stanza is...Breathe with the Earth, let your essence flow Let your dreams take you, wherever they go Live every day, in your own special way Be true to yourself at the end of the day Go live your life in the questions..... Couldn't be more breathtaking!! I absolutly love your words here! Rene'2007-08-12 00:16:53

MAGNETIC FORCESDebbie SpicerI read this twice to get the full meaning of your words. Deep! I love deep! It's as though you struggle with your own thoughts of lonliness. I am sure we all have experienced this, some more than others and I have had my share. Nice write! Rene'2007-08-11 17:34:53
Gonemarilyn terwillegerMarilyn, Your words are beautiful, and I can feel the depth as I read. I too lost my husband in October. As a matter of fact, my husband, grandma and mother all died within a 2 week period in October. That was 6 years ago and I still miss them every day. I wrote a poem called October Rain. It is about that dreadful October when they died. My heart to yours as I wish you a gentle healing. Rene'2007-08-11 05:49:01
Pole in HandClaire H. CurrierClaire, I very much enjoyed reading this. What a memory and a great story to share. My oldest son is 29 years old and he loves to fish and really gets into it. My youngest son, 21 hates fishing and refuses to go. Me, I have been fishing alot in my life though I admit, it has been many years. I wouldn't mind going again. Again, I truly loved your memory. By the way, what ever happened to the lure? It would defiantely be a keeps sake. Rene'2007-08-11 05:44:56

The End Of TimeDellena RovitoI really liked this alot! Excellent imagery! As if it was only a nightmare to be forgotten in time, well at least until the next nightmare..lol. But a beautiful sunshine morning takes you away and the nightmare too. Thanks for the read, I truly enjoyed reading this. Rene'2007-08-11 05:28:00
love will keep us aliveMichael BirdMichael, My heart to yours. I am sorry to hear about the passing of your wife. I too, am widowed. Your poem is a wonderful tribute. I only see one error. In your second to last stanza, you have, now that your gone. It should read, now that you're gone. I always get that mixed up too, on your and you're. I know only those who have grieved the loss of a loved one truly knows just how deep grief really goes. Others can only imagine. Wishing you a gentle healing. Rene'2007-08-11 05:10:22
Family TreeKenneth R. PattonShort, but great thought process. Yes, we as humans can tend to be self centered and even have to brains to know how to do it with class. I like your thought here. Rene'2007-08-07 21:00:13
