I admire the histroy lesson of your poem. The way the world has changed and also stayed the same. It is people that can make all the difference in what we do and how we behave. I do agree that the power of faith is understanding that God/Life connection. Prayer is a nice reminder to stay connected. Thanks for sharing that and I enjoyed your writing.
Oh I was just talking to someone recently about Adam & Eve. He wondered if Eve was better than Adam and that is why the apple was offered to her first. I don't know...He was trying to sell me something. Anyway, you go around this being as a creature, but what creature...God and are you afraid to say that? You know if you can name the devil why not name God? I just wondered about that. Plus, we all know Sex sells...No matter what you are trying to say. I get that loud and clear and I don't believe we are flawed at all. I think this is Gods perfect plan. Just my opinion on the subject. Interesting poem and keep sharing. I like what you have to say.

I get so many mixed emotions reading this. First I think of a young man his time gone too fast from dying while serving his country. Then I see a woman that is not able to tell someone how much she is in love with them, as if her words had to die as well. It also reminds me of all the lonely people that die everyday by not being noticed. I don't know why these three messages hit me so hard. I love strong imagery in poetry. I like having this kind of reaction and I am glad I found this. Keep sharing your words!
Who doesn't like getting a package in the mail? I know the only thing that ever arrives at my house are my college books so it would be great to get something a little more creative! I admire the work that ROAK and Angel Army do for the Writiers of WDC! I know I am around because of their generousity. Thanks for sharing your open heart and for posting this on the Acitivities page! Great idea!
You Rock! Girls hold so much power but for years we have been told that was never "as good" as the boys! Oh we couldn't be closer if we tried. I also have a problem with the statement that "boys are just boys" I used to get that excuse for the boys in my girls classroom and I hated it. It was an excuse to let them fight and misbehave. Boys might be boys and girls might be girls but each person needs to be respected as an individual. So Thank you for showing your power with your words. Great job!
You know you rock with giving reviews and I just wanted to return to you what you give back to writing.com.
This is my favorite kind of poetry. It speaks to my heart. It reminds me that love is forever. Long after we leave, you don't say why they have departed but I am thinking death as you are only left with mist. Still however and why is not important....it is the message of eternal love that rings true in your words. Pure beauty. Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review:
Well, you captured my attention right before bed! YIKES! Not only do you capture my attention but draw me into a place I don't normally like to think about. Nuclear power, weapons, destruction, death and the like. Jeez, you nailed the entire event in less then how many seconds? Great JOB!! I totally enjoyed this, even if I didn't want too!
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: This so totally rocks. You know why? Well, first I love Blue Birds. Secondly your imagination of taking on the bird and bringing him into the humans life and being there at a time of death, when you couldn't be more needed. The creative energy in your words just touched my heart. Thank you for sharing!! I am so glad Simply Positive highlighted this poem, I would have hated to miss this beautiful poem.
I think I might be slightly confused by this...But are you happy? I mean this sounds so doom and gloom and yet, it also speaks of eternal love, the kind that really can't end even after death, so what gives? Is it about living or death? Is it about a love that realy can't end? Do they even make that kind of love? I wonder? Your words echo deep but hollow for me, I am not connected and it most likely is my perception of your words. Poetry the forever subjective dance of words.
What an incredibly sad poem. I am sure so many can relate to this kind of mental and physical abuse. It happens far too often and the victim becomes lost in the recovery of it. Time can heal most pains, but the scars will always remain. Thank you for sharing. This was very well written and I have no suggestions to make it better. Great job!
I loved the title of your poem. I had to read it. I agree, we do tend to expect too much from beauty and dismiss the beast we are becoming. It's a true balancing act to know which one to believe in anymore. I still fight my own beast inside. I am working on my beauty as well. Fight I can do! Thanks for sharing and welcome to WDC.

What a bummer that some kids can't get away from their MOMS! Even in imagination play, we are the echo of sound judgment. This made me laugh out loud. Plus, I can't believe I haven't read this. Seems like your port is one of my favorite places to hang out. Happy to see Simply Positive highlight this! YOU rock!! Now get out and play!!
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: My yard is a colorful explosion right now. Your words are ringing true in my minds eye. Something magical and colorful and fresh about spring. It might bring pollen and bees but flowers rule!! Thanks for sharing!! I am so happy SP highlighted this. Perfect timing!

Music makes me cry too! I can so relate to your words. I feel when listening to all kinds of music it can go places, words cannot. It is an incredible feeling to be so in touch with your senses. Thanks for sharing!!
It's so important to write about these emotional moments. They keep the feelings from boiling over and becoming too much to handle. Watching a family member towards the end of life is so dramatic. Everything is so important. I am not an editor so it's not right for me to edit this piece of writing. I do see some grammar errors and with some re-writing and editing you will find them. I say Bravo for getting this out and hopefully you will write more about your family. Life is interesting anyway you look at it.
I think the first romance is one of the best memories. I only hope that each new relationship brings you closer to the real one you need. I think this needs a serious re-read. You have a few misspellings. Like realise is realize. etc. I am not an editor, but a look over would make this better. Keep sharing your love!

Oh that "something" is in all of us. It' s about being able to control it and understanding that dark power that can drive us crazy!! I really like the flow and direction of your words, building with the emotions and realization of that inner power. I can only hope you realize you are more then any emotion and not hollow at all!! Welcome to Writing.com
Oh man I love this kind of poetry! The set up and emotional balance of dreaming and ghosts dancing. I can actually see the event taking place and feel the emotions as he walks home alone to wait another year. I believe this is real and your words are haunting. I love that! Thank you so much for sharing your talent. Keep writing!
Oh what pale eyes to keep you hanging on! I love the last line, it says everything about your feelings. So sad. I don't know if this is about someone dying or just leaving the relationship, but either way it is very powerful. My favorite kind of poetry. Thanks for sharing!
What a valueable lesson you taught your daughter! I also experienced this kind of body crushing illness a couple years ago. You are so right, how it affects the kids. It takes a little time to get back what was lost in those moments. Still, it just goes to prove that kids are resilant and will use what they can to understand. I am so glad you are on the road to recovery. May you always stay well! Thanks for sharing with all of us.

Please take me with you! Oh I miss those days when the kids were small enough that I could just pack them in the car and go! Now it seems that everything has to be planned out. Nothing beats a long car ride filled with beautiful scenery. Thanks for taking me along and I didn't even get car sickness! LOL
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: First of all, starting over is never easy but with faith and knowledge you only have one to put one foot in front of the other. My favorite line is trusting that God is in charge of your life. That total understanding and acceptance is an amazing accomplishment! Thank you for sharing the message.
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: Autumn seems so far away, but with your words I can feel the chill and see the change of colors right in front of my eyes. Wow, I love imagery in poetry. Great job!
Breathe to my soul is a great poem of inspiration and emotion. I like the word choices and the flow. I love that longing feeling of before I say goodbye, touch me...so I don't have too. I so get that connection and empty feeling. I only have one suggestion. Check your spelling...Wich is which. experience...etc...
1. Follow the prompt. I love what you have done with this image. I have to agree, that the bronzed image is really space age and I like the direction you went and great descriptions of characters.
2. Easy to Read. I was so bummed she really didn't escape and she never will. Wow!
3. Errors/grammar. I am not an editor, so for me to find mistakes, they must really stand out. Pepper, I really enjoy your writing. Excellent job!
Good luck in the contest!
