Your message isnt one of the most promising type, but it says what you wanted it to say. I am sure there are many out there that readily identify with this and know the deptths that this took you to.

I was just stumbling around and was interested in checking out your port as you sent me an email and to my knowledge, I hadnt interacted with you before.

I am glad to meet you and I hope to visit your port again soon

I have several relatives that live in Slidell and Pearl river. Most of them evacuated to my house here in east Texas during the time of Katrina.

I have been to New Orleans many times and it was a place of fantasy to a point. It was the old pirates place of enjoying their stolen goods and trophys. It was many things and I feel that it still is but soon to be modernized. I get the feeling that Bush didnt do much to help during their time of desperate need but watched on tv like the rest of the boob tube population. He must have at one point said "Glad we arent there now" lol.

I have had many of my cousins tell me of bodies floating in the waters as they reseded. Others tell me of automatic gunfights that took many of the hoodlums live only to put more bodies floating in the waters there, and a few Nation Guard men died there as well but they were pulled out for a proper burial.

I had some one tell me this a while back and its a quote from a movie. "Life aint easy Wyatt, its just life. Live it.

I can identify with this at many times these days. I know that we live in the greatest country on this planet, but sometimes it really makes you wonder dont it. Personally I hope to retire to Belize *Smile*

I thank you for sharing your opinion with us here Judy!

A poet has the power to take common words and create something uncommon. You have attained this goal nicely I must add *Smile*

Kitty cats... lol you cant let them always get over on us LOL

I found this quite different... Here is this Biker guy and he gets adopted by a mere cat... but I too am guilty of this so I almost didnt review this and only rated it *Smile*

My cat had me trained pretty well after 15yrs... he was pretty special I got to admit *Smile*

Nice poem and I will be back soon to read more my friend

Review of beautiful lies

I love the phrase " I wont lend faith to the fiction"

I liked the poem also as a whole its just that one line really cinched the poem and drew the tethers together for a really finished effect... What a great tool to use to instill within the readers mind these few but illuminating words *Smile*

Review of Lil' Ranger  
Review by Emilbus™
Rated: ASR | (4.5)
I understand this so very well. I let my old silverado ('76 model) sit in the yard only to come home one day from being off working in the "big" city to find that it had been sold by my mother... It is still a matter of controversy...

It was in my Fathers and he gave it to me but I just never took the time to put it in my name... (for reasons I wont go into at this point). She was 30 this year and she gave it to a guy driving a wrecker because she didnt want it to look like a used car lot at her house. It was my favorite truck and a tree from Rita took out my elcamino. I am stranded now at this point...

Nicely written story and I totally relate to each word of it.

I like your analogy very much here Rusty!!!

Now this is something that I enjoy to read about when stumbling around on our site... Its thinking outside the box so-to-speak.

It shows alot of imagination and leaves the reader with a positive outlook and a hope filled heart *Smile*

One thing you might want to look at is this part here... "when I'm blue I simple," I think you might have meant "simply"... However I could be wrong and it is your poem.

Have a good one and keep on writing

This style is definately a very unique style!!!

It has been a while since I ambled around here and did some serious reviewing. The use of ML really stands out here in a good way I must add!!!

Your perspective is one that isnt an area I had ever thought of before. You did this well *Wink*

I feel your pain. I too have lost alot of my hearing unfortunately due mostly to my work environment. I worked construction for the last 30+ yrs. I had some tests taken at a petro-chemical plant I worked at and they found this problem. I have lost some at both ends of the spectrum.

I can understand you fear. I may one day get a hearing aid of some type. This is something I took for granted while listening to Ted Nugent at 1,000,000 watts they said at one of the concerts that I attended. I attended too many more to even mention here and none of them were quiet concers...Not even Quiet Riot LOL.

It is definately something we should look into when we get to the big four oh.

Nice esay by the way. You detailed it very well *Smile*

Nice told tale in prose form!!!

You have depicted this quite well and show alot of talent in this poem. It has a surreal quality about it in the way you tell it and the way you project it.

Welcome to writing.com!!! I find it a nice thing to find a "newbie" to read *Smile* I hope you enjoy being here, I know I do *Smile*

Review of A DREAM DENIED  
Review by Emilbus™

Its sad that someone can make these feeling come to life in us...

I guess we give them this power once we choose to accept them and their ways...

Sometimes its an uphill battle to find that very special one... I wish you all the best in finding that one.

You have entered an area here that is unknown to many... I can understand and identify with your poem.

I find you havent lost your touch in writing poetry... I only hope that this is fictional and not something you have to live with and sleep with....

Thank you for your post

The underlying currents of this peice are exposed when you sum it up so eloquently *Wink*

Im glad I found this in the Items to review forum... I had never used this before.

Thank you for posting this
