Review of Fearless  
Review by Dr M C Gupta
Rated: E | (3.0)
It is a nice poem that will become nicer if you try to give it some form / pattern / scheme. For starters, you might like to decrease the variation between line lengths.

****************

Like doing the things that scares me the most.

>> scare

***

Your love was like the blazing fire that burned a whole in my heart,
>>> hole

I'm not afraid to do the things that scares people the most.

Thanks for entering your poem in the "FIVE STAR POETRY CONTEST:editor's choice.

It is a nice poem. It is a funeral scene, but you have put good poetry in it.

The following lines are effective--

The silence shrieked;
a banshee lanced me when he did not speak,
for though he was right there I felt alone.

It is a nice poem. You have effectively tried to sum up the feelings a writer has when he is trying to gain recognition but is met with cold, undeserved criticism from ignorant self-appointed critics.

The life-expectancy unreliable
>> The use of the term life expectancy does not fit in a poem.

This is an article about Nigeria's government and politics concerning its various tribes. The language is good and merit's just two comments:

nigeria's president and bombing
>> Nigerian


he will fail woefully even in the Niger delta region, in the forth coming elections.
>>forthcoming

It would have been better if the article started with a brief introductory statement about the country and its tribes and the political system. When talking about the next elections, it would be appropriate to mention when they are due.

This seems to be a wonderful small group performing quietly. I was the recipient of a 1,20,000 GP donation for my three contests, courtesy EarlyHours-A Vigilante Ranger .

I will strive to maintain the quality of these contests. Your GP will spur me to work hard toward that goal.

Thanks.

Review of Stones of Red  
Review by Dr M C Gupta

This is a beautiful poem. I specially like the ending:


My own two step with death awaits me
If ever you are watching me
You certainly can know that you still live in my life
A wonderful man and a son to a proud father

Enjoy the heavens
You deserve it
Remember something for me son
You're my hero now

This is a re-rating. I had earlier rated it 4. I don't know whether you have improved it after the first rating. Right now, it reads very smoothly.

It is a nice poem. The message to eschew war and hatred and enmity is quite clear. There are no mistakes.

The end is appropriate--

Walk the path of peace
Lest your life end in a stain on the floor.

This poem is truly unique for:

--the fact that it belongs to the children / nonsense genre, which only those with a lot of sense can write;

--the unique theme;

--The well planned format, with adequate rhyme and rhythm.

Thanks for entering your poem in the "FIVE STAR POETRY CONTEST:editor's choice.

It is a nice poem, but there is a little confusion.

In--

Nobody notices the moon.
Sadly she stares at the earth, longingly,
Watching her child, a mother to her son, and the creations that lie upon it.

>> Are you comparing the moon with the mother and the earth with the son?

That would be certainly very odd.

This is a short eight line poem but complete in itself, bringing out poignantly the hollowness, vanity and futility of war.

you are in place of u r

no matter how many winkles

This is a beautiful poem. I have never come across such simile about the moon--

The moon waits in daylight,
a silver ghost begging for darkness
A lunar mirror of borrowed brilliance,
and temporary light
Always waiting for her moment
to shine without another's strength
Always only half alive, half herself
and half of something else.

It is just too impressive.

It is a good poem. There is plenty of imagery and symbolism. There are no mistakes that I could discern.

The opening is strong--

My memories are the visions of the Dead:
the bomb mushrooming on the horizon;
the whistling bullet that sears the flesh;
the dark flower that blooms in reverse.

Thanks for entering your poem in the "FIVE STAR POETRY CONTEST:editor's choice.

When I was young I used to decry poetry and poets. Had I read this poem in those days, I would have made fun of the lines:


On the day you left, why didn't raindrops fall?
And the sun shone down and the birds did call.

Sometimes truth needs to be experienced to seem convincing. I know, through experience, that the above lines are true.
