Review of LIFE AND DEATH  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
Short sweet and to the point. The talent of an author I believe is to say more with less, you have accomplished this rather easily it would seem to this reader. The truth that lies in these words tell the story and shows how easily it could end

Review of Going Home  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: E | (5.0)
Heck this is a masterpiece in my humble opinion *Wink*
I cant find anything... not one thing would I change about this timeless and sentimental poem.

I doubt I have written anything that even compares with this tribute. As for cheaters.. they blend in...

The real cheaters are when those words are used as shortcuts or to not have to strive to perform the writing at hand.

I really like this grand piece *Smile*

You have done a great job of personifying this storm. You descriptions are second to none!!!!

I like the top version personally *Smile*

There is so much action in the first stansas it slows at the end and becomes passive "Rain slowly..."

I think the tempo lets it end great!!!

Thank you for the post

Review of LIGHT THE WAY  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
This exquisitely romantic poem initiates a feeling so enriching, like a oasis in a barren desert. Like a cloud in the wind, so your smooth words flow. Like a sparrow on a tree as it sings its song, its words like these I long for.
Thank you so much for this post It means so much to me!

Your use of such descriptive and mesmerizing words makes this very appealing to me *Wink*

I see that your a new member of NAWF and at this time I welcome you aboard!!!!

Also I want to welcome you to WDC *Smile*

This to me is poetry in story form... perhaps prose would be a more readily adjective here to use.

I thank you for your post!!!

Review of Mowing Blues  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: E | (4.5)
LOL I know the feeling!!!! I never seem to get it cut before its up like you say knee high. My mower broke the other day tho and it will take weeks to get the parts I need. So I just sit here and type and once in awhile look out to see how high it is....
LOL Good poem I enjoyed the simplicity and the truth that is in it.

I wish I knew how to do things of this nature. You have worked wonders... I for the life of me cant even size something to post here.. and believe me I have tried... I got paint and photo impact 8 but I just dont have what it takes... if I had some one show me I may then be able too... but i dont see that happening... I even printed out the instructions for operating photoimpact 8 and its confusing...

I feel the dismay and disallutionment that is seared into your heart. I feel it as I read your words... The hurt and disapointment is quite evident in you words as the deposit volumes of thoughts in my mind...

I hope that this form of therapy has helped you to come to terms with the demons that memories can shed upon us...

Your title really tells the reader what its all about, how ever your poem allow a breeze to play in those limbs and leaves that you aptly describe. I enjoyed this... It dont really fit into the description that you warn us about in this folder.

Well structured and well told as well!!!

Review by Emilbus™

Wow I had completely forgot Old Hallow's Eve is this month. How time flies, when we least expect it and how it drags on when we want it to pass...

Your wonderful poem is so vivid in its descriptions. I live in the country so this isnt something that will happen on that frightful night... I wish it would tho...

Many would combine this with current psychobabble today and use this to explain why they have issues.

I have found their are basically two ways to live.
1. Look to your past to draw knowledge and live in today. Or
B. Live in the past and taint your tomorrows.

I chose now to live today and occasionally when faced with a certain situation draw on the past experiences to help me figure out how to deal with the current problem.

I think by writing out our feelings it is a form of therapy to help us go on...

Thank you for this post my friend

I know not of any other tribute that could hold half as much meaning and scenery as you my friend here have displayed to us*Smile* I see the things you descibe here in my yard. (I would see more of natures wild life but I got this 1/2 chichucha and 1/2 dauchound mix that thinks he should run off any animal he sees)

I commend you on the artfilled canvas you paint in my mind as I can see as im typing right now!!!

You truly have a gift and I feel priveldged to have seen but a mere tiny part of it, fore I havent delved deeply within your port as of yet..

Let you light shine my friend and others will see it *Smile*

There is beauty in every one of God's creatures be it human or animal.

Sometimes you must look beyond the mere flesh to find this beauty... but believe me it is there... for all who choose to.. to see!!!!

Believe that *Smile*
