About Myself:

Life for me has been very hard lately. My father has had health problems for a couple of years now. 2 years ago he was diagnosed with Diabetes, but still had other ailments. A couple of months ago he was diagnosed with Lupis AND fibromyalgia. His doctor believes all three were caused by his 3 tours of Vietnam and his exposure to Agent Orange. Grandma came to visit in early september, but caught pneumonia which in turn caused her Rheumatoid Arthritis knee to turn septic. She had to have surgery to remove as much infection from her knee as they could. She has had a hospital bed in my living room since Sept 13. After 2 month of rehab, at least she stopped using the bedside commode. I have 2 60+ ill people i have to take care of, cleaning, cooking, shopping while trying to maintain an 8 acre farm while living on next to nothing since no one can work. So if i am not too sympathetic with some of the more depressed people, forgive me.

a little repetitive but still conveys good imagery. The third from last line is a little foggy to me but i still get your meaning from the rest of the poem, which is very clear to me.

can't help but think he left one prison only to wake up in another.

Poetry is about knowing the subject you wish to explain, or expand upon. Wonderfully done.

One of the best shorts i have had the pleasure of reading. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent. I don't know if too many have posted a song. Short and great stuff.

"Marks whirled around" gives me a mental image of him twirling.
"Marks turned from Groves" gives me the mental image of what i think you want.
To me it makes him flamboyant, which i do not think you want him to be. Otherwise great little page turner here.

Title article: Lost For Words

I'm cursed, or blessed i guess, to have eyes that can spy both sides. Alfred is right, this poem is vague and only has a pretense of direction.
However,
I am a huge E.E. Cummings fan, so i can see the vagueness as purposeful, with the intent of making the reader understand the mechanics of freezing up trying to talk to a woman, and using so very few words to convey the feeling.

Both are write and wrong and in the end, it's all just a matter of opinion.

Title article: Why the Water Shimmers

Confused me a little at first because of her emotional state. First she wanted to escape-which to me means unhappy- then 2 short, 1 long sentence later shes is radiant. Seems a little too fast for me, but it is only my opinion. Everything else is great, wonderful imagery in those first 3 paragraphs, and the usage of the phantom.

Title article: They Came From The Sky
Date: 2009-01-03 11:46:29

I liked the poem, but not the ending. Maybe i was expecting an alien assault or a meteor shower and that clouded it for me. This is blank verse huh? i like it. Good word use, very visual.
