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

This seems the destiny of a poet where words wander and meaning gently settles like the dust . Nicely written

Whispers in the Quiet Room

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

Waves of Pride

Very well written this poem has good rhyme, flow, and coherency it flies with the flag being a call to those that feel it. Words that embolden the weak.

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!

Uncle Sam vs. Lady Liberty
sorenbarrett said:
A wonderful allegory and so well imaged in this poem that aptly depicts the division in a country. It had good flow that pulled the reader on and is poignant to the problems of the present. Well balanced and unbiased it presented a fair depiction. Very nicely done.

The Illinois Waltz

Is it the system or the person that is corrupt, the question being asked in this comprehensive write, I don\'t think they all enter corrupt but they all end up corrupt. Sadly this wonderful account of the demise of a politician, will not be the last to be caught, really enjoyed the read

The Illinois Waltz
sorenbarrett said:
An epic poem reveling the fall of a politician and posing the question of is it the system or individual frailty that leads to corruption. As for me the system stinks and there is no way of being in it without being corrupted. Some get caught most don\'t. A good write

Buried Alive
sorenbarrett said:
The literal meaning is a hollow echo under earth and wood. The metaphorical even more horrid as one is buried alive in the coffin created by self and others to suffocate in isolation and ignominy without recognition. A terror and what nightmares are made of.

So well written this poem and story myth resounds with the power of not only the pen but the human heart which as the sacrifice of the Aztecs to the sun god is taken still beating. This poem still beats in its words and meaning of a culture long past a sacrifice to another god more brutal.
