JOHN HORN- Legend of a Lumberjack (Book) - 7/13/2005 7:06:11 PM
You have been very professional in your request for permission to use material from William S Crowe's story and in including the recognition of that background. We appreciate that. I was able to pick up on some phrases and information from Grandfather's story...that was interesting.
I don't know a whole lot about historical fiction but I think one of the keys to success in that genre must be that it is hard for the reader to tell what is "real" and what is fiction. I found that to be the case in John Horn, so I think you have blended those two formats well.
It is obvious you did a lot of research to make the story as authentic as possible...again I think you succeeded.
Thanks for following through on the use of our materials...that is the mark of a real professional writer.

wow. agree with Lisa below on image of that powerful ending. Also like the way this one picks up the pace up to that point. really nice writing.
His World (Poetry) - 10/25/2004 4:04:49 AM
just like Humpty Dumpty
spilling both yolk and
that white stuff
the mess thats left behind
from the orgasm of heartbreaking lies
from his world
You took my mind completely away from me when I read this part.
That is such an explosive thought, it's a good thing I had to go no further.
Awesome poetry.

well penned ...
Her Blackened Eyes (Poetry) - 8/27/2004 9:38:47 PM
Brenda,
You have penned a powerful message, Dear Poet! I feel that there are a lot of someones out there suffering shamefully from abuse, while their partners carry on shamelessly behind their disguises. Great composition on a despicable subject. Thank you for sharing this!

It's a sad situaton. Great write on it though. I wrote a poem for a battered wives and childrens organization out west. If you vist my den It's called Excuse Me. Its desighned to hit hard on a terrible subject. Personally, I'd love to see them all rot in HE**.
Take care

People who lose their lives in order to save others are true heroes. Excellent tribute, Brenda!

Americas Heros (Poetry) - 7/2/2004 3:10:08 AM
Brenda, I just can't imagine what those people went through that day...not only physically but mentally as well. There were just so few that made it out.
This awesome tribute gave me chills..just like the ones I had for months after that day.
Thank You Brenda. Lisa
I Am Knowledge (Poetry) - 7/1/2004 11:25:57 PM
I like it. I like the plain simplicity and the strength.
"I am in you
I am the cog"
are impressive lines.
"Hanging tendrils
in the labyrinth of your mind" is nice imagery. Perhaps you could have made it much stronger and much effective by using a little fewer words... Excellent poem anyways...
It quenches my thirst for silent screams from a poet's within.
Thanks
Shadows in the Moonlight (Poetry) - 7/1/2004 6:53:56 PM
Great discriptions, and very well told, one could feel the erie yet paradoxically the sweetness....

excellent imagery ...
The Spirit of the Wolf (Poetry) - 6/30/2004 9:46:38 AM
Well penned piece of work, Brenda. Much enjoyed the imagery.
The Misery of Me (Poetry) - 6/30/2004 3:36:21 AM
"yet it flirts
Silent thoughts
thoughts that scare
scare me sober"
these lines suggest to me that such a deep emotive state will shake up our sensibilities and percpetions even though they will be overpowered again by those very "deep emotions" ...
powerfully expressed!
The Misery of Me (Poetry) - 6/30/2004 12:58:31 AM
Quite clever Brenda!
Love, Bonnie
The Misery of Me (Poetry) - 6/29/2004 11:52:22 PM

A painful write. Welcome to the Den!
Crystal Magic (Poetry) - 6/29/2004 9:22:11 PM
Wow, Brenda another great one...I love the magic in this.
Hearts Destiny (Poetry) - 6/29/2004 8:11:14 PM
Hey ladie Brenda this is so real that it is almost scary.
Sounds like you had same. well said. splendid
Hearts Destiny (Poetry) - 6/29/2004 8:06:21 PM
Dear Brenda,
Another beautiful poem, so very profound.
"Destiny holds their cards of life
When Fate casually deals their hands
she will be another mans wife"
Destiny and fate can sometimes be so adverse.
Thanks for sharing.
Warm hugs

This is a wonderful piece, filled with a lot of emotion. I enjoyed reading it and will pass it on. Love, Tamara
Reflections of Me (Poetry) - 6/29/2004 10:09:37 AM
I read a cry for understanding and change.. anxious to burst out of you, and hoping for a helping hand.
The structure is well formed and flows easily to the reader.
The Dreamcatcher (Poetry) - 6/29/2004 12:41:35 AM
Wonderful poetic execution! The reader is entrapped from the start. Passion's "once-in-a-lifetime chance" resonates. A pleasurable (dare I say?) reread.
The Dreamcatcher (Poetry) - 6/28/2004 10:16:47 PM
Great write. The ending is awesome.
The Dreamcatcher (Poetry) - 6/28/2004 8:57:22 PM
the power of emotions in dreams bleeds over into the waking world and reveals their origin and intentions ... well written!
Distorted Mirror (Poetry) - 6/28/2004 7:13:39 PM
Brenda - powerful and moving poem. Self-truth can be painful, but liberating. Thank you for allowing us to look into the mirror and see...you.
