I see you see the value of the tree. I enjoyed the rhyme and the feeling this initiated.

Review of Lesson  
Review by olgoat
Rated: E | (3.0)
I like the story but the dialog seems a bit contrived. Maybe if there was less explanation and more letting the reader figure it out. My sisters were both difficult. Good story

Review of Aloneness  
Review by olgoat
Rated: E | (3.5)
I really like this. There is a huge difference between aloneness and being lonely. In today's world, it won't be long before being alone will be a crime.

Sometimes all you need is the familiar to make your words ding - that connection here is quite palpable. could go after more feelings about the situation. But nice

A path often not taken. I like illusions. A new twist on a real them The last two lines are big. I think they need work and it will make the poem

it is difficult to be a thinker in a sea of repeaters. Don't give up respect others but be yourself - you will see in the end.

This has meat to it. It feels that you are trying too hard. the feelings washover me. sometimes too many words is bad. eg.

somewhere a child lies alone
beyond where the eye sees

the ear can't hear
the hand doesn't feel

Alone

more is often less

Pain and love different sides of the same coin. But it is not a gamble - all who love will at some time be in pain. This poem took me there. thanks

this brought thoughts and feelings of the past. A bittersweet picture, as is life. I know some felt nostalgia and some jealousy. Thanks for the memories.

Review of He is different.  
Review by olgoat
Rated: E | (3.0)
Ths rips at the heart - both share the sickness between them. all conspires to keep the devil they know between them. I have seen this before. There is no nobility in victimhood. But the poem is real - so is the pain.

appropriately bitter to my mind - well written I enjoyed that it took no prisoners There is altogether too much pomp with no circumstance

I like the descriptions nicely done but doesn't classic haiku only have 17 syllables? Doesn't matter I like it anyway.

very nice - all about feelings not thoughts (what I think)

The first frost chills all
Fall wonders what will come next
Winter waits to start

today is so much better than yesterday - you know that. If you must cry - then cry so that the world must tread water in your tears. Shake the reet of us. You can. I hear it in your voice

Review of LIFE IS OURS  
Review by olgoat
Rated: E | (3.0)
Sounds like you have some bitterness to deal with. I understand that. But I am old. To you, it must seem endless pain and lie after lie. It can be. but you have a mind you think. Your thoughts on paper or here or both could help the rest of us. Please try - we need you.

I like this but I think it needs more focus on where the writer is now not where they have been memories and the present is what builds the future - just my thoughts

Review by olgoat
Rated: E | (3.0)
nice insight - age, not the six gun is the great leveler. You made me look at where I am and be grateful for each unclouded day. thanks for that and good job. More deepth with less concern for rhyme would be good.

Wow. Never heard it said better. So many don't see what you do. They live in shallow water and can't imagine the depth of what has been given. thanks, I don't get the awards thing but have some points.
