This acrostic is awesome!!! It says so much without using alot of words... I think that is a goal of a true poet to say more with less! *Smile*

I got in a bind here expressing my opinion in scroll... a "priveledge" I wont ever have the option to use again it appears...

I think it was a planned event and that our government was well aware of what was going on and when it would take place.

Am I the only one here that thinks that its all about oil. Look at the Bush's. They are oil men from a long time ago. I sacked groceries in Clear Lake Texas in '73 an astronauts wife drove her battery powered car to the safeway on el camino real (clear lake street) and I asked her about the effieciency of this mode of transportation and she told me that in the future many of our cars would be electric. She informed me that one charge of 8 hours would allow her vehicle to travel at speeds up to 70mph and distances up to 60 miles. Why dont we have overgrown golf carts for commuting us to work and play?

The Bushs and Bin Ladens go back a long long way... if you question this do the research *Smile*

Review of THE ESCAPE  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: E | (4.5)
Your story held my focus and attention from start to finish *Smile*!!!!

I like the style of writing I see before me now. It shows that if you can hold someones attention then others will also find it worthy of reading *Smile*

I have tried my hand at stories and have a couple that I enjoyed writing and that is the point for me is to enjoy this hobby or pastime!!!

I guess I need to explain a few things... Within yours or anyones port is usually folders of like writings. Within these folders is the actual stories, poems, or novels. In my port my folders attempt to express what type of posted peices are in the folder. If you have any questions I have been around here a little while feel free to ask and if I dont know the answer to the question Im sure I can direct you to someone who does *Smile*

Interestingly illuminating!

I think we all put a part of our souls in our writing whether we want to or not. Its the depths that we are willing to expose that make us writers or word assemblers... I could be wrong but that is my opinion.

Welcome to WDC *Smile* I hope you meet those here that have helped me through the rules of grammer and language that also give me a positive word or two to help me carry on.

Review of Pay It Forward  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: E | (5.0)
I think this should be a national movement *Smile* I think that we should do it in our daily lives not only online but also in real life... I strive to help others when they need it without expecting anything but maybe a little help one day when I need it.

I can even forgo getting the help in the future that I have given to someone or group in the past... But you know what? It seems it always comes back to me somehow someway...

I really applaud you and your efforts here and commend you for changing the world here if even a little bit at a time it still works *Smile*

Review of The Crossroad  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
I find myself in your words. I can easily attest to each and every thought you have impaled upon my heart and soul.

I have searched for many things in this life. I have lost for the most part to the women that I have decided to be with.

I will not be searching for another mate to make me whole as I once thought...

I am whole as I am but there is always hope.

Nice write and welcome to WDC. I have been here quite a while and I hope you meet some of the kind people that have helped me and were positive for me when I needed some positivity in my life.

Review of Baby Dragons  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: E | (4.5)
I commend you for such a well thought out poem and the vivid details that you entail to make it real!!!!

It is our imaginations that keep us dreamers and poets. May I always be a poet and may your gift shine into others minds as it has mine *Smile*

I am very happy you stopped into my port. I always attempt to return a review... It used to be a big deal here but now its more of a social thing. All I can do is hope that the things I have learned here I can help others find a way to find as well.

I hope you well in your writing. You have ability and I like it *Smile*

The depth that you have written this is quite amazing!!!

It is almost as if we are witnessing these sordid events and experiencing them first hand. You have done well in this depiction of this topic and it shows great painstaking at sticking with the story and giving it the depth that you are able to send out.

I found you in the reiviewing pages and I think all reviewers need to be reviewed. I choose from time to time to be the reviewers reviewer.

You have a gift. Use it *Smile* I see your a newbie here and I hope that I stumble into your port again soon.

I stumble around here and have for a little while now, so dont be surprised if you find me in here again soon

I might be biased on my opinion of your story but I think it serves to tell us well of how some things come to be. I am Cherokee and know of many of the old stories. I personally save them for my family for the most part.

I am truly pleased that you took the time to post this story as it is one that I have heard but had forgotten *Smile*

I cant tell you how my heart sings it song of happiness to be reminded of this.

I really enjoy the talent that you have shown here in this short but very well told story my new friend and when ever you post more please let me know and Ill be more than happy to read rate and review them *Smile*

Review of I Dream  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: E | (4.5)
First of all I would like to welcome you to one of my favorite places on the internet *Smile*

If you need help navigating around dont be afraid to drop an email to me or just about anyone here!!!

I like the structure that you use here so well!

It reminded me of a song I for the life of me can remember right offhand... I think louis Armstrong sang it...

I feel that to be a good writer you must first be a good dreamer... I could however be wrong... but that is my opinion for what its worth.

I like the dream you have allowed me to view here and I thank you for posting it *Smile*

Review of FOREVER  
Review by Emilbus™

Forever has been written about many times...

I like your post, its just that it seems this word is found in too many poems and depicted so many times.

Maybe its just the cynic in me that darken my thoughts on this topic or subject...

Keep on Writing!!!

So far every post of your I have read is very full of vivid imagery and has held my attention and also made me think. That is the true point of true poetry I believe. I dont really care for the Hallmark version of what poetry should be but the nuts and bolts of the real words is what I look for. Not fluffy ideals that get carried away by the tide each and every day.
I have alot of respect for someone that steps outside and looks in at the true picture of what is going on not the imagined. I have enjoyed being in your port and I will be back from time to time as my time allows me *Smile*

I am an avid believer in the way that those wearing the black boots these days no longer see the right or wrongs... They only see what it is they want to see... As if wearing blinders to the truth that is there... If only we take the time to read research and develop our opinions rather than have ideal spoonfed to us from those that think they are the paradigm of the day. I commend you on your writing and I appreciate that I am not the only one who feels this way my friend

Review of Out of the dark

I can feel the apathy in which this is written. I can feel the helplessness to which if is refering even though it isnt striking us in the face, yet it is in the heart and soul where this post effects me.

I like the style you incorporate in your verbal assault upon the misconceptions that we are taught to abide in.

You certainly have a way with words and I must apolgize for the timelyness of me return review (Not many these days it seems take the time out to return reviews but I am an avid believer in this). I am glad I visited your portfolio!!!

I can totally relate wholeheartedly to this poem!!!!
