Show Me That You Love MeKeeper of My Heart (Book) - 12/24/2006 2:04:39 PM
Why would men leave their family and go to war? What are they fighting for if they already have a family who need them at home? Why would any man let his family be separated from him for some other cause? It makes no sense to me. If young men who are not married believe in war, for whatever reason, that does not seem so illogical to me. But there seems no justification for a parent to leave his family in order to cause destruction to another's family.

I couldn't agree more! I am very new to creative writing, and I desperately want someone to critique my work. I have had a lot of people read my stuff, yet very few have commented. I'm assuming the one's who have refrained from comment didn't like my work. Fair enough. But tell me what you didn't like! I can't improve if I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Anyhow, this was a good article. Feel free to check out my den and provide your critique anytime. :) Monica

Look forward to reading this, I have a friend who is going through a terrible time right now. She told me the other night, I didn't realize that I was being abused, it had gone on so long, I thought it was just how life was....anxious to read and pass along.

thought provoking article
The End of The Wild (Article) - 6/11/2006 7:53:49 AM
It's commendable that you would help wildlife to have a place to exist on this planet, yet you and many others of us of good intent beat about the bush for an answer, an answer that never comes. That is because that answer is unbearable. We cannot stare in the face the prospect of severely reducing our own population for the sake of other animals. That is the only avenue that will work, in a physical sense. Why? There is an inate desire in the human spirit to aggrandize until a limit is reached. A bigger home, more children, more, bigger, faster cars (bigger factories, bigger roads, bigger bridges, etc.) Without imposition of severe limits (fuel tax or fuel availability) humanity will expand into the countryside to its absolute limits, and death to the animals habituated there be damned. That is the reason that all the efforts to cajole the masses to be kind to the habitat only results in a few hard-working souls making last-gasp efforts to salvage virtually lost species.
If you want to know who the real enemy of the endangered species list is, look to those who thoughtlessly promote higher human population through suppression of family planning programs, those who promote shifting of populations from high density to low density areas through immigration and those who would simply pay no heed to limiting their progeny to a fair share of the world's resources.

Good Reviews Versus Honest Reviews (Article) - 2/15/2006 9:05:21 PM
Thank you so much! I've asked this question many times. I will tell you that I once did a line-by-line, indepth critique of another author's work. He threatened to 'sue' AuthorsDen, and me. I believe he had no case, since he posted his work on a site with the understanding he was open for review/comments, and nothing I said was incorrect (even posted links where the correct spelling/grammar/writing rules could be found. AuthorsDen supported this guy and told me I was not allowed to review his work, or anyone else's who didn't welcome a real critique. Authors Den is a nice showcase and party. I don't think the owners or most of those posting here intend it to be a true critique forum. For that reason, I belong to this for showcasing and fellowship, and others for critiques. Anyone who IS interested in intensive critique and discussion groups, please let me know. I don't think this can be misconstrued as a conflict of interest, after AD took a stand against the real critique.

Cute write, you're on a roll, Your best yet, Great discriptions....
Infact so true, I honestly thought I would get advice which could help my writing, but after a few months I realised this is an amature poets chat room. With many over sensitive cliques. You rub my ego I'll rub yours. Today I spoke about this. Being new to writing. Well 3 yrs now. In my 7 or 8000 reviews only about 80 are of any benefit.
Reading some peoples blogs proves your points at hand. Read Eileen Waldrens for an example of AD blogs. Thankfully a few authors have been of help. But I think to be honest most are as clueless as me.
Simple things like grammarian improvements, spelling, iambic, caesuras, enjambment help, in the way that these can unlock the dramatic potential of ones words. As so many do this and much more, intuitively. One surly could explain light verse, cento comic verse to help those who write humour.
I am amazed at reading sonnets of more than 14 lines, efforts of molossus and tribach, yet I have found in trying to help via mail, many are put out. Blimey I would love honest, positive and helpful criticism.
I think you have said what many think. Many are scared to say this incase they shout out about the emperor's new clothes, thus upsetting the mutual, unsaid status quo of people poet pleasing...
Also I feel many do not read the writes, just by putting cute, your best yet, they are saying "now comment on my write."
Well done because this needed to be exposed, as anyone worth their salt leaves here when their subs expire....
Therefore I conclude this is an amatures writers fun site. Not to be taken seriously...
HomeComing (Poetry) - 7/27/2009 6:16:54 PM
This is a nice poem...to welcome home a hero is to have longed through emotions that strain the soul...this is a welcome home that will give life to that very soul...of each other...
nice work...
The Daughter Without A Father (Poetry) - 7/2/2009 12:11:25 PM
Sad, but strength shines through.
The Daughter Without A Father (Poetry) - 6/23/2009 7:00:35 PM
This poem hit home with a lot of us who need their fathers to
love and cuddle us as daughters. It is a shame so many men walk
on the ones that bring into the world. We daughters grow up not
trusting any men. We are raised as victims and continue being
victims with every relationship. Great and important pen.

The Daughter Without A Father (Poetry) - 3/10/2008 5:11:49 AM
Wow when I read this poem I felt like I was reliving my life. I am 17 and I have lost to fathers. My first father walked right out of my life when i was only 8 and i havent seen him since. My other father he made a promise to me that'd i always be his little girl and hed love me forever but when i was 12 he kicked me out of his house and said i could never come back because i got in a fight with his new wife. so now whenever my little brother goes to his house cant even look at him because he broke my heart. But i know exactly what you guys are going through and I know it hurts to not have ur dad by ur side especially through the times that you really need him there. All I can say is that you need to be strong and keep trying to gain the love of your fathers and forgive them even if they dont deserve to be forgiven. With everying I have gone through being strong and brave through it all has helped me a lot but there are times where i still just hate him.

Abiding Together (Poetry) - 12/3/2007 3:38:09 AM
Unfortunately, it seems that we don't know how to live with the rest of the world nor do we know how to live in harmony with the rest of Humanity.
As a woman, I find myself closer to nature. Men often want to dominate: nature, women, each other...
Thanks for sharing,

A Mother's Wish (Poetry) - 12/2/2007 8:02:56 PM
The most difficult decision that a Mom can make is to let her child learn [good and bad] to stand on their own two feet. Sometimes it just breaks a Mom's heart. I pray that whatever has caused this separation will soon be overcome. It is the Christmas season, perhaps, she will see His light and know the love you have.
God bless you. Kathy

Through The Eyes of the Leopard Goddess (Poetry) - 10/9/2006 4:26:36 PM
We are so darn foolish....
Through The Eyes of the Leopard Goddess (Poetry) - 10/9/2006 12:16:21 PM
This is so sad. The leopard goddess looks so innocent like a kitty in the picture, so beautiful in its own right and yet it's sad to know that she will be gone soon.

Through The Eyes of the Leopard Goddess (Poetry) - 10/9/2006 10:55:52 AM
How sad and true, you've touched me, I have always been against such as this, the poor wolves in our own country and around the world, is a prime example. Thanks for this heartwrenching poem.
