One of my first girlfriends lived down the road from in a big Brady Bunch house.
We both liked to watch the Brady Bunch. Do you remember the Brady Bunch?
You were born in 1997 and I was born in 1962 ... Oy!
Anywho, she lived in a hippie family. The father was a music teacher at Harvard University
and the mom sold insurance and they all smoked pot.
The father had an opium pipe. When he got very high he would have sex with his daughter.
She said, "I asked my mom to stop dad and she couldn't."
Her mom's advice was to leave. My girlfriend was 16 and so was I.
My dad would not let my girlfriend stay with me in his house.
He was a strict Irish Catholic. So, she stayed with her parents and took the pill.
She didn't want to have him arrested.
I like to read Zen poetry. I lot of who we are is a reflection of our surroundings.
We went separate paths in the 1980s.
When I was in my twenties this girlfriend died from an overdose of illegal drugs.
I do not do drugs or alcohol.

Review of My Fears  
Review by bob county
Rated: E | (5.0)
We all have these fears but deal with them in different ways.
I was terrified of Godzilla, a resurrected radioactive dinosaur.
I had nightmares of Gozilla's giant eye staring through my window.
I'd peek through the blinds just to feel safe at night.
My dad put a black wooden crucifix over my bed with a white porcelain Jesus on it.
I still had nightmares of Gozilla tearing off the roof and eating me.
But, I was a child and eventually grew out of this childish fear.
Now, I worry about COVID and a nuclear war between Isreal and Iran, and Russia and the U.S.A.
You are not alone.

Your tome is moving and compelling.

Review of walls  
Review by bob county
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
It's ironic how we repeat old mistakes.
I think it's laziness.
I read somewhere that people slip into trances through the workday.
Just the humdrum march to oblivion.
How many leaves have fallen?
How many leaves will fall
before there are no more trees?

Keep writing.

"This time it she played-"
This time she played.
"His mind preventing for slipping for into dreamland."
His mind prevented him from slipping into dreamland.
"Rational thought and self lathing the other hand pulled him back."
Is self-lathing; self-loathing or self-lathering?
"Three hundred dollars (a) for a forty minute conversation."
I think that (a) is a typo.
"Only one way he knw to do that."
Did you want to abbreviate, know?

Anywho, I like the story.
I felt an immediate bond with the central character.
It reminded me of my obsession with Jeny Smith on Youtube.
She does exhibitionism and has a website where you can chat with her.
I sympathized with the central character's boring work load.

Great writing!

This tome is well written and carries the reader through a spiritual awaking.
I haven't traveled much, but it is difficult to find a guide.
Too many days are spent on the strife and scurry of daily life.
An American woman alone in Cambodia, who doesn't speak Cambodian is tragic.
But somehow you survived and escaped the sex industry.
You are a very strong and lucky lady.

The Bible tells us Abraham heard the voice of God.
God told him to kill his son.
Was Abraham schizophrenic?
Saint Joan of Arc had conversations with a tree.
The tree told her to fight the English invasion of France.
Was Joan schizophrenic?
You hear a voice from the willows.
Are you hearing God or are you schizophrenic?
That is a personal faith.

I like your style.

On the sixth day, God made man.
On the seventh day, God rested.
On the ninth day, God killed.

The awful truth is we will die.
But, what dreams will come?
That is the ultimate truth.
Maybe, the universe is eternal.

Your tome is beautiful.

Review of I am a woman  
Review by bob county
Rated: E | (5.0)
There was a time when the genders were united.
And God made them male and female in HIS image.
God said, "Be fruitful and multiply."
But, it was through woman that sin entered the world.
Eve was the mother of all the living.
Her first two sons were Cain and Able.
Cain murdered his brother Able.
And Cain found his wife and built a kingdom in the land of Nod.
Seth was the third son of Eve and a giant in his times.
Their wives can from Eve...

Review of The end  
Review by bob county
Rated: E | (5.0)
How many leaves have fallen?
How many leaves will fall before there are no more?
The most amazing thoughts can be a pyramid to other dimensions.
In the beginning, all was empty and void and then God spoke.
First, there is a blank page and then you are inspired.

Keep writing!

You have mastered the art of suspense.
Will the king walk into a surprise party?
Perhaps, he is walking into a trap?
Or, it could all be a dream..
You chose to make this a royal mystery.
Is there political intrigue?
Where is the royal guard?
"He looked inside and his heart dropped,"
you wrote.
That does not bode well.

Write on!

Review of Serpent lies...  
Review by bob county
Rated: E | (5.0)
Nature out of balance is what the Navajo called western civilization.
KOYANISQUATSI is the Navajo word for life out of balance.
It is also the title of a Francis Ford Coppola film.
"All deceptions revealed," you wrote.
"What man can control his dreams?" Morbius ponders in
the cinema sci-fi clasic Forbiden Planet.
We are in a battle between the mindless savage of our ID
and our enlightened belief in virtue.

Your poem strikes its target.

Review of Hoppy Bunny  
Review by bob county
Rated: E | (5.0)
I met a Ukrainian girl at Micky Dee, Elaina.
She offered me a thousand dollars to marry her.
I was skeptical that immigration would believe she wanted to marry me.
The age difference was about forty years
This girl looked like an Olympic swimmer.
She married some guy in New York.
I'm a realist about romance...Oy.

Anywho, nice photo.
Do you believe in magical Jews, who fly through the air?
Do you think Jesus had a copper complexion?
Or did he look like a Swede?
He probably looked like a Palestinian.

Ah, girl on a diet wishes they could eat anything.
My sister ate my dad's change.
He kept it in an ashtray.
Well, dad waited for her to return his change.
He got it every dime back.
Mom was the keeper of the piggy bank.

I like Boston Cream Pie with chocolate chip ice cream.

Review of playing poker  
Review by bob county

I recall this ex-nun ...
She had dreams about making love to Jesus while he was crucified.
She said there were a lot of s&m submissive rituals in the convent.
She was flogged and spit on by other nuns.
This was a purification of the lusts of the flesh.
It dawned on her that she could do these things for fun.
So, she left the convent and is an erotic entertainer.

I see this sadomasochism in your Poker tome.
Where is the love?

Have you tried meditation?
I like Zen poems.
Nothingness cannot exist.
Therefore, we exist.
Haku.

Review of In search of Iris  
Review by bob county
Rated: ASR | (5.0)
This reminds me of finding red iris in the woods amongst the goldenrod.
I also pondered if the sleeping Iris on the lawn could be a murder mystery.
The gay daffodils are cute..
I have some aquarium plants that are brilliant pink.
How many leaves have fallen?
How many tears have been shed?
Before there are no more?

Review of MY HEART  
Review by bob county
Rated: E | (5.0)
777 is the number of Jesus in numerology.
666 is the number of the anti-Christ.
Is love a mental disorder?
It can be if it is harmful, like Romeo and Juliet..
Your poem has heart and structure.
Is there such a thing as a rational lover?
From a biologically standing, love essential to the family.

You give me pause and hope.

Review of Life and Death  
Review by bob county
Rated: E | (5.0)
Your premiss is a contradiction between life and death.
How can there be consciousness after the brain is dead?
We can remember the dead and honor them with monuments.
But, life is not death.
Death is the end of life.
This is the awful truth.
Everything that has a beginning has an end.
People can believe anything.
Wanting something to be true does not make it true.

Shalom

Review of Sea of Music  
Review by bob county
Rated: E | (5.0)
There are seven seas.
There was only one sea long ago.
All life came from the sea.
There is salt in our tears.

Your poem has a restful melancholy.
The sea will cover the land again.
It rises and falls with the tides.
And what will be said for us?

This is a very thoughtful tribute to your dad.
It is a big responsibility to be a dad.
I wonder how Joseph felt about Jesus?
Jesus was a big part of my upbringing.
My dad insisted we all be Catholic.
But, I had doughts about magical Jews.
I digress. You are a very skilled poet.

I enjoyed this piece of your memories.

I can hear Kristen Wig narrating this ..
We go in and out of trances through our day.
Sometimes we have seizures and hallucinate.
Angles walk with us silently and invisible.
Is this madness? Maybe.

We're all winners!
I remember hearing that after falling down a ladder painting a house.
"We're all winners," the EMT said.
He was a fireman too.
He told me I had no broken bones, but I should go to the hospital.
I got my skull x-rayed.
It was fractured..

This looks like a fun site!

Review of I fall...  
Review by bob county
Rated: E | (5.0)
A poem written in a tear.
When will the last tear fall?
I like the tome: "I fall so you can rise."
You have captured the Satori.
Why is there sorrow?
So, we may appreciate happiness.
How many tears have fallen?
How many will fall before there are no more?

Review of Dear Bob 2021  
Review by bob county
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
You are a published author on Writing.com.
Is this an advertisement?
I like Weirdo Publishers and Gonzo Publishers.
They will publish bizarre content.
Delorance Publishers will publish your story
for $10,000 ..
That's a bit pricy for me.
I am not a fan of romance novels.
I have dealt with decades of rejection
from publishers and women.
Heathcliff is believable.
It's a story about division by class and wealth.
But, I not as handsome as Heathcliff.

Just my two cents.

Review of Scorpio  
for entry "Rumig" 
Review by bob county
Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
This is a well thought out sci-fi air traffic controller story.
This past week has been tumultuous for me.
I juggle jobs to pay the rent.
This was a pleasant escape.
I remember the original Star Trek ..
I watched it on a JVC TV with a built-in VHS player.
Star Trek felt elitist in some ways, only the high teck could join
Star Fleet.
Your hero, Thorn is full of foibles.
He cries into the shoulder of another crewman.
I wonder if we will have a first contact this year.
Will they be like us?
Will they like us?
Will they have faces?

Maybe they walk amongst us.

"the pair is" should be, "the pair are."
I'm not a fan of Audre Hepburn.
I did like her role as a school teacher rumored to be a lesbian.
I've forgotten the title.
She co-starred with Sherly MacClain.
The movie dealt with prejudice.
Did you like Breakfast at Tiffany's?

Keep watching and reviewing films
and include your opinion.
