Robert, it has been a while since I've been on The Den so I missed announcement about your poetry collection, but let me take time now to make up for that oversight:
CONGRATULATIONS on this wonderful poetry collection! Bravo!
Your insightful, metaphorical, dream-like work will make this poetry anthology quite unlike any other out there in the market and it is great to see you take center stage like this!
Way to go!

MOODS IN MOTION promises to deliver one of the better reads around, coming from a poet whose work ebbs and flows with authentic brilliance along the tides of artistic conviction, spiritual daring, and visionary truth. As the "moods" fluctuate, the poetry takes on a dynamically empowering, and even palpable kind of life, that overflows with warmth into the heart and soul of the reader. An exceptional accomplishment.

... the stillpoint IN the centre of the battlefield; the stillpoint IS the centre of the battlefield: how the war is won, always. Like a Spielberg movie, that surreal panning around the subject who stands, head held high and taking in the vibes while explosions hit ground all around, never touching him/her. Very Messianic as well, uncovering and thus disarming by powers of revelation and show of hands. And meekness is controlled strength, effective in gaining the upper hand. Hand-to-hand is where the psychological battle stands or falls... and a handshake will finish it. Which of us won the arm-wrestle, by the way?! :)) Hugs and healing vibes, Babe; hope you're feeling better. xx

perceptive warrior (Poetry) - 11/21/2009 4:02:25 PM
there lies here a disarming chill of reality for the character Jude -- a write that touches one style of warriors battle plan -- an insight not often examined objectively -- thanks for sharing -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael

Great work, Jude. I love the sentiment expressed here.

"spreading the wildfire of negative doctrine
through membranes and synapses of a lost civilization"
Pretty much sums up our post-modern world of the material minded and its attendant lunacy.
Well said!

This feels like a transitional poem. It's that dazed feeling before something becomes suddenly clear as a bell. Then there's a sense of purpose again. I love paranormal topics. Ghosts do come into our dreams. They're all around us, and they influence us in strange ways - both good and bad. Hugs,

Jude,
Deep insight into this character. This reminds me of when I used to play Risk and Dungeons & Dragons with my older brother. He never had a problem getting into character and treating the situation as real. A warrior's soul maybe. Such wisdom in this write. Hugs,
Sheila

Here's the thing: It all plays itself out in a poem I wrote in 2005 posted on Authors Den, "We Built This City" - I wrote the poem in dedication to Robert Jude Forese, our lead poet. It evaluates the situation from the artillery of the quill and speaks of the need to defend against the deceptive interloper and his ulterior motives...and so, we focus on building a collective tomorrow, strategized unity on "disarming an antagonist"...
We Built This City
Perservering to build
a modern-day medieval
city
to transport us to
another time and
place.
The renaissance of
the gong
chases away evil
spirits, warns of
interlopers, heals
the sick, and
invokes the dead.
Surrounded by a
permanent unbroken
wall,
erected in solidarity,
fortified by the toil
of limestone poets
and sandstone novelists
building a collective
tomorrow.
Building communal
walls around an
island in a tidal
estuary,
the strata on which
the walls are built,
prone to subsidence
and constant ebb
and flow
and nature's feudal
emotions and
idiosyncrasies.
Unified intelligentsia,
following the directive of
their lead poet,
archaeologists
access the vulnerability
assailed by tide.
We built this city Wall
on a gravel bed with rubble
and mortar.
The advent of artillery, the
Wall becomes redundant
as a defensive structure.
The novelist inspects
projecting pilasters of
superb erotic sculpture,
stone lotus and dancing
nymphs carved on the
caryatid.
The lead poet summons
his well-read, calciferous
disciples to the freestanding
stone wheels under the
chariot pulled by celestial
stone equines, to the
heavens,
and the lead poet recites
building a collective
tomorrow.
We Built This City.

A poetic and clever expression of what is referred to as "situational awareness" in military and intelligence circles. Very nice indeed.
perceptive warrior (Poetry) - 11/19/2009 7:48:31 AM
A wise warrior indeed, if his position is revealed and convincing, he has won the battle, not by defeat, but by having an ally now instead of an enemy, somewhat aching to what Jesus did, with love, and revealing such, even unto his enemies.
wonderful lines succinct and deep in thoughfull exposition.
Blessings! Jasmin Horst

Kill the sucker and he won't bother you again. ;-)
Very perceptive. The warrior and hunter have the same traits. The only difference is the game.

Jude, I have read this a few times. I am hearing these words as a deeply moving sonnet on a level that eludes the average thinker. As always you push the limits of cleverly writing in a metaphoric and mysterious nature.
Some what of a burden, but yet something that this warrior is seeking can only be captured with strategic moves and patience. It is the best strategy to be upfront and honest and above all cautious. Strategy my friend, is the key to ruling your world.
Always reign victorious without harming anyone or thyself.
Three fold rule, What ever goes out comes back three times to you.
There you have it, my take on this, among other thoughts too long to write here.
I bid you a good day, and rest that brilliant mind of yours,
Much peace, light and love,
Amber
