A thoughtful and insightful poem. I liked the different times of the day and evening shown through the dancing shadows, and I liked that there was "more" for the man in the last lines. Thank you for sharing this. Keep writing, and I look forward to reading more of your work.
I enjoyed reading your poem. I liked the reference to knitting, and the phrase "what's knit can always be unknit". Often that is the case, but when it happens it leaves traces no matter how small. Thank you for sharing this work. Keep writing and good job!
Interesting poetry form...thank you for describing what a Triolet is. I always find it helpful to find explanations at the bottom of someone's work. I enjoyed reading your poem, and about your take on the "circle of life". Thank you for sharing this piece, and I look forward to reading more of your work.
Thank you for this step by step outline for creating a folder. It is an informational and useful tool for the writer. I appreciate the ease and flow of this piece, and I will be using this tool soon. Thank you so very much for sharing this information.
Thank you for sharing...my impression of this person is one of fear and isolation. One who is afraid to venture out of the safety that the bars seem to give. One who longs to be the object of someone's attention and affection, but is too afraid to venture forth. Thank you for sharing this poem.
Very sweet. I enjoyed reading this poem. The hope, the promise, the optimism you speak of in your words. Good rhythm and flow of verse. Well written. I look forward to reading more of your work.
Very interesting read...It held me captive through to the end. The flow of the story was smooth, and my attention was riveted. I very much enjoyed reading this short story, and I believe this could become an awesome full-length story (a gal can hope, right?) Great Job...loved the way it ended with a question.
Well written...I didn't read this before, but this version is definitely creepy and scary...LOL...just in time for Halloween! I liked the dialogue between the demons and then between Matt and the demons. I'm surprised that Matt wasn't scared of the demons at first, but I guess that's part of being a bully. Thank you for sharing this, and I'm looking forward to reading more of your work! Great Job!
Awesome reading. I could feel the sweat trickle down my back (lived in Mississippi - so know the sweltering heat). This is a sad, but realistic picture. I liked the varying points of view, and the tone set by each. The irritation and the desperation come alive in this story. And while we don't know the ending, it makes for great reading and speculation. Well written! Thank you for sharing this work. I see that this is an older work, and it gives me hope that I can write this well one day!
Well...I didn't see that coming! Makes you wonder how he got into that line of work, and how he allowed himself to get involved with Daisy in the first place. Lots of information left to the imagination, but that's ok. Thank you for sharing this short story.
What an interesting form for a poem! I loved it. Easy to read and one of holiday cheer. Thank you for also adding the form and structure of this style of poetry. Very clever, and eye-appealing. I see this is an older piece, but timely even now that the holidays (!) are around the corner. It is inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this. It struck a chord within me, as I too, have had labels come and go. Mom, wife, manager, worker, and so on. And it is sad that most people look at our labels instead of our individuality. I liked your last statement best. A child of God is a wonderful label to wear. Well done! This would make a wonderful topic of discussion in an open forum.
Nicely written. I think any woman would love to hear these words. I mean looks can come and go (Mostly go the older you get LOL)but it's what is on the inside that remains beautiful. I daresay that there are a few men that wouldn't mind hearing this as well. Thank you for sharing.
Ouch...there are days I feel like that...so I can definitely empathize with you. I imagine myself as a compass with its needle spinning in a circle. I could hear the "lostness" in your tone, and also the "wonder why I'm here?" as well. Hang in there! Thank you for sharing, and I hope things get better!
Thank you for sharing these words of wisdom. I enjoyed the flow of this poem. It was easy to read, and I see how the tone changed from that of a "dreamer" to that of a "realist". While it is nice to dream...It's important to be realistic as well. I plan to read more of your work. Great Job!
Do we ever really "move on"? Or is it that scar tissue builds up to help us cope? I cannot imagine loss as great as this, though I am sure I will eventually...If we live long enough that is. I feel the pain and emptiness as I read your poem, though I have not directly experienced it. Well written! Thank you for sharing from the heart.
I very much enjoyed your poem. I am a fan of Star Trek, and while I have enjoyed the different spin-offs, there is nothing like the original. I got the last line before I read your footnote...nicely done. Well written, and easy to read. Thank you for sharing this poem about a classic series.
Thoughtful...As I go from scene to seen in your story, I picture it clearly. Attention to detail...loved it...a couple of questions: Do you mean college, rather than collage? also, in the last stanza, "You wre playing four square" I think you meant "were", and "bird cage vale"...is that veil you meant?
Well written...I look forward to reading more of your work. Keep up the good job!
Nicely written. Wonderful imagery. I liked the opening line...a clever turn of phrase "Cooks the turkey pricey". Made my mouth water reading it, and anxious to celebrate the holidays with my own family and friends. Well done! This was easy to read, and spotted no typos...just need a napkin, fork and knife! Keep up the great work!
I see a large heart weeping for the tragedy and unfairness, especially for the innocent children. I cannot help but be touched by what I read, and my heart cries out in empathy with yours. Well written, and heartfelt imagery. Thank you for sharing from your heart.
Thank you for sharing the background about this poem, and what was the driving force for writing it. It is sad and appalling that a child should have to beg to be loved and cared for! Those women definitely give "evil" and "step" the hatred those words bring to mind! This poem broke my heart as I read it. Very well written. Gut-wrenching! I look forward to reading more of your work.
I enjoyed reading your biography. Especially enjoyed reading about Mr. Dinger...sounds about right for a cat! LOL. Quite the busy person! I'm glad you have time to write, and enjoy doing so. I plan on being "nosy" and checking out your work. Thank you for sharing your life and love of writing.
LOL...too funny. I read it twice. One way to get rid of an annoyance for sure. Clever names and fun reading. I enjoyed this bit of whimsy, and I look forward to reading more of your work. Thank you for sharing this. (Please don't roll your eyes if I missed the point...lol)
It took me a second, but there it is...No more patriotism in the front and at the end of each line....very cool. Interesting poem. Gives you something to think about for sure. The flow makes it very readable. No typos that I can see. I especially like the last two lines of your poem. Thought provoking, and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this poem, and also for the explanation at the end of the poem to describe the style. As I was reading, I saw the imagery of almost losing something precious. The flow was smooth and easily readable. I liked the last part of the poem the best, with the pledge, and trusting in "Him above". Great Job! Look forward to more of your work.
sincerely,
amy
