I was blind sided by this turn of events.. I thought of many different paths this could take but you dear author not only told a tale but told it well!!!!

You descriptions here are right on target. Reading this wonderful story took me to that exact place. The canvas of my mind, you painted well my friend. I will return again soon!!!

Review of Discovery

Im not sure of the style you incorporate here perhaps haiku... I didnt check the syllable counts...

Your poem speaks volumes yet it is so simple it is at the same time so complex!!!!!

Nice poem, it is one that I enjoyed reading and thinking about *Smile*

It was impossible,
That sight was horrible.

Seems somewhat forced as a rhyme...

I feel a strange power,
That didn’t go with a shower.

This sounds and feels a little trite to me....


I always feel hungry,
But not for any luxury.

I dont mean to hurt you by any means... I feel this is worthy of being a great poem *Smile*
I just think that some work would help it to come around.

You have attempted to rhyme some words that dont fit right...

You start this poem out with a form...

A light
A sight
B deep
B sleep

However you change it by not keeping this form which is quite distinctly in place after your stansa...

Sometimes its better to write free form and not worry about rhyme or form. It seems that you strive to keep rhyme in place but it just isnt performing this feat..

I am sure that with some work this will shine my friend

I see that you use what I reffer to as cheaters. I am guilty of this myself.

Night,right,fight,light,sight...

You pull this off pretty well...

It is a challenge to try not using the cheaters and this is something I myself am working on at this time..

Deal, feel, kneel, peel, seal

I fall victim to the prey of the easy outs from time to time..

Keep on writing my fellow poet *Smile*

Review of Hyperbole  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
This is a fantastic expression and way to define this literary device to a "T".

I like the way you "use" levity to persuade the reader to accept this point of veiw.

After reading this there should not be a doubt in any readers mind what Hyperbole is !!!!

This makes it "crystal clear" touche'

Thank you for this post I must have been absent the day those newsletters went out.....

Review of Bound By Love  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Your simple but true poem stresses the thoughts that are hidden behind our eyes as we look into the end.

The stansa is what threw me off a little. Other than that I was a well written poem based on some really heart felt collapse of a relationship.

I hope you better days

Dang... Your poem sends shivers down my spine... I am a father and its stories whether its in poetry or novels that make me terrorized about others that are parents and the limits of their anxieties. This is so intense....

I havent visited your port before I dont believe but this is one poem Iwont forget....

Review of Red Sun  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
You wrote this like someone that actually served in the Army and had experienced this first hand.. I have met many who served in Nam, but fortunately it was before they became the killers that they had to become...
I was at ft Polk in the mid to late sixtys so I know many a man that had to make the descision that you are now writing about ... I went down the same obstacles courses, put up tents side by side with them and also watched many train and learn about the traps they set up for our men to fall victim to.

Nice story... its about a sad subject but your descriptions are remarkable!!!!

Nice analogies here JVD

your meter isnt consitant (you know the syllable counts per line) but that doesnt bother this reader. YOu have stressed a few places to make the rhyme.

You have a great story told in a poem and the moral is something that you dont have to tell the reader but since you did it somehow enhances the depth of the story and solidifies the foundatiion.

Thank you for a wonderful post my friend

Review of Waiting  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: E | (4.0)
Nice is this a haiku... sorry I didnt count the syllables..
There are many forms of poetry that I have yet to try... I have tried my hand a Haiku a few times... One of the most frequent things I am told is that it would be a lot better if i added a few more stansas..

I guess poetry is a learning device...

Thank you so much

There are a few rough areas I stumble on as I read this poem....
"as you wonder where they're taken far"

Im not quite clear on this are you saying, were they are taken for... I dont know it is awkward for a reader to understand and say aloud. It just dont mesh

Also the beguinning really causes the reader to stop... Presentation is 99% of the sale... we are not selling here but we are presenting. Here is the part Im talkiing about:
"First there is that shock of Fate
that plunged deep in their predujiced hearts"
My question is ... is it the jews that are prejudiced.. if so you have correctly written this... but I think your talking about the master race (yea right) the germans


I just think a little tweaking will greatly improve the thought your trying to convey here... However I could be wrong...

Hang in there you will get it... the Idea behind this with the recipe is quite original *Smile* and one that I really find interesting!!!!

Review of Today's Holocaust  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
Wow

I was thinking you were a younger person... I didnt have a clue... hey I was not just a member of the clueless group but the president too.

It seems you have done your homework here. I think that I am not quite clear on this issue... I am leaning toward the pro life tho... I believe that is my stand... without going back and re reading this indepth researched work I am inclined to go with if it is a fertalized egg then it was meant to be. In the case of rape however I believe that it should be a matter for the mother to decide.

Im impressed *Wink*

Thank you for the invite to your story but at this time i am busier than a june bug in a hen house *Smile*

Again thank you for this and the invite

Your new friend

This remarkable poem reads like a narrative that shows the depths that you go to in your research and your emotions to describe the sad events that transpired.

I cannot say enough about the descriptive and event filled narrative I have had the honor to read here.

I am filled with mixed emotions from this read.

I hope to read many more of your wonderful posts here my friend
