red shadows on deserted snowfall

by alfred booth, wanbli ska

Rated: 18+ · Book · Emotional · #1926559

A new book to house this year's (and future years) NationalPoetryMonth's daily poems.

I'm writing once again this year. This book is my special event place for thirty special poems.

Here for National Poetry Month in 2018, I'm participating but life has not been kind in the last 15 months, so I'm not always in writing mode.

I love the way you riffed off the bard. And I've loved reading you this month. I wish it could have lingered longer, even though I feel as though I need to sleep about a month to recover and get ready for next year.

Gorgeous, and Shakespearean all right. You have the voice perfectly. "keep my image sweet" Your image is sweet just like your words and how you blend them together.
This has been such a great April, and thank you for your words and lines that sweetened every prompt.

I could feel the frustration--and it feeds into mine. Thought provoking and emotion filled.

So clever and powerful to put across such effective words with perfect rhymes too. In awe yet again.

Sad and edgy. LOVE the sly couplets.

Complaints wrapped in beauty. I love the last question the most.

Love the images, "wind whisperers, embrace mountains, ornaments, lost, no longer pillars for life"
Such a sad situation that humans have become the varmints to nature here on earth.

Oh, sad and majestic, this poem. It has a steadfastness in its sound, mood, and block-like stanzas. I particularly love these lines:

trees, unlike dreams veering to nightmare
cannot defend themselves and slowly lose...

Lots of elements of Romanticism here, which I love. Well done 😊

I love this magical list of things in the pocket. Nicely done.

2018 PAD number 29

no, it's not called dissertation defense
I wrote a title in Arial caps: incineration fence

it deals with companies fabricating barbed wire
in the pre- and post desolation of Nazi quagmire

yes, of course I can tweak intonation a bit
(enunciates distinctly) decades of racist shit

now try out a whisper, seduce but not too bold
there are millions of bodies rotting in the cold

but isn't history a continual spiral of genocide
now's the moment for a Pirandello aside

(we caper through philosophy in search of reason
all fate delivers is complacent sighs of treason)

we open next month on Broadway
