Left Ear, Right Ear, Broken Heart
sorenbarrett said:

So much feeling in this poem. The lines and meter set the tone. A truly soulful poem that speaks to loss to nostalgia and to the pain and joy that goes with it. Most lovely a fave

Ballad of the Scorpion Preacher
sorenbarrett said:

Charles Manson and gang. A great poem that can not be mistaken for the man himself. Never did get to meet him but met his wheel man Tex Watson the man that carried out the massacre

Bubble Butts and Bulges
sorenbarrett said:

As the father of two I had to be on guard for foxes and wolves as well as vultures. Shotgun in hand I would stand watch and insisted on speaking for some time to each suitor. A lovely write that entices and seduces the reader. Well rhymed and with such good flow the poem\'s body mimicked that of the objects in it. Well done and a fave

Doggerel Dave said:

Passivity and apathy, and anyway it is better to not get involved - Great moral tale told with clarity and balance in poetic mode.

Neighbor Reveals Why Police Recently Surrounded This Abandoned Home
sorenbarrett said:

A haunting and grizzly tale in this poem that sends shivers more than any ghost story. It is the reality that is the horror and what ever is credible is only the edge of reality. So well told with wonderful rhyme and pacing. The imagery was impeccable. A fave

A sense of a poet\'s not night with pen in hand and the mind drifting, until the thoughts end up on the paper, enjoyed the read

Whispers in the Quiet Room
sorenbarrett said:

A wonderful mood is cast in this poem with as much told by what was not said as by what was. It has a sense of darkness to it and mystery too. Very powerful in mood. Lovely a fave

Alex Arnot said:

Interesting, I was just reading about this film the other day! This is why I\'ll always advocate for art preservation. It\'s always so fascinating to go back to the roots of our favorite mediums and see where it all began!
