Michael, I do like version 2 better than version 1 based solely on gut feeling. There is no obvious reason for me why one should be better than the other one, so sometimes we just have to go with our instinct.
And you are a lucky man to have so many worthwile objects to paint right in your neighborhood. Sometimes I do miss the history aspect of Europe.

I am having a hard time deciding on whether I like this one or the first one the best. Either way, great write.

They rising from the dead? Well, that\'s supernatural. I don\'t mean \'undead\' or zombies. My aim is to snuff out Halloween! heehee.

I think you wrote a poem here that could take up pages upon pages of comments and comments on comments! A sure sign of an excellent poem! And as so many of the other readers, I do like the last two lines. Am looking forward to your version 2.

\"Moving clay,\" lays the groundwork (no pun intended) for so much more. I think many of us would want to know what happens next. Great write. Churchyard graves always seem more dramatic. Loved this one.-Phil A.

Nice writing Michael. So you don\'t believe in spirit? If so, it is an interesting point.

Enigmatic indeed, and philosophical in inquiry. But, I ask, how can you be a a realist to believe in phantoms which are elements of the supernatural. Death, along with all the other questionable happenings are in the realm of the supernatural, thus we must thread with caution in this pregnant realm of philosophy and the supernatural. The poem is cleverly constructed and well expressed. Enjoyed its enigmatic quality.

THE AUTOCRAT
Fay Slimm. said:
The wry humour struck me in the final three liner \"Binding chains unlocked
Controlling influence gone
Freedom unshackled\" - this puts the true case for an Autocrat.

A fine De Mortuis poem M. Mind you, I dunno what the title means! heehee. *gets out dictionary*. I read \' Always choose to subject reason to faith\'. I do tend to be rather \'blind faith\' at times, yet it\'s an inward assurance I would say.

MendedFences27 said:
\"The Autocrat,\" in Haiku format. One can read the last word of each line and almost get a sense of its theme. Well done, very descriptive. The domineering one has finally passed and the clan is set free. We called my Grandmother, \"The Admiral,\" you didn\'t budge without her permission. Nicely captured our family\'s sigh of relief - Sadly. - Phil A.

You express the relieve after a strong personality is gone, very well, Michael. It does not only happen in families, but countries as well. Look at Tito and Yugoslavia, for example. Well written, like it a lot!

Agreed, agreed, agreed,...or more simply, I agree with all you have written. I search through thousands of (poems?) here on MPS and only find a handful to be thoughtful or entertaining. Good poetry is hard work, not something you slap up without any care. Keep them honest, Michael. - Phil A.
