Eve's RibJezebel's Hips (Book) - 5/31/2008 5:58:00 AM
This book of stories/poems are extremely powerful. Putting all the pieces together is like a Cinderella story of pain, heartache, sorrow into the the empowerment of being one self and a woman at that. It's nice to be reminded of things we go through in our lives that take us to where we are now and give us the power to be who we CHOOSE in the future.
Thanks Selene!!!
Tons of love, hugs and kisses,
Amber

A cheeky little write for sure! I have no doubt that it will sell like hot-cakes on a 4th of July open. Behold! The power of rhyme and fantasy! --Charlie

I do so love your writing. You wit and truthful sarcasm have sharp teeth indeed. As for me, I can no longer bear to see these milksops ridiculed this way...I am storming the castle! In the words of Rhett Butler, your Rapunzel "needs to be kissed...and often. And by someone who knows how to do it."
I'm anxiously waiting for the next installment!

Loved the story... reminded me a little of Charlie's backwards or fractured fairytales... but with your own unique style that I love...
Cryssa :~)

It's shaping-up beautifully. I like the lead-in especially. It has a far-away sound to it... and then the story is brought forward. It has your penetratingly beautiful style of writing written all over it. --Charlie

VICKY - Morgana - VILE VILLAINESS!
SHADES OF BRAM STOKER ... had to GOOGLE the word - nosferatu - never heard of it before!
ALAS - MONSTROUS MANICAL MORDRED! Love the tales of Merlin, King Authur, and Camelot.
When my kids were in H.S. I played a knight in the chorus of Camelot, the musical - we had great fun, especially singing - FIE!
May the Strength of Ex Calibur SUSTAIN YOU!
Tom.

Is this one of the dimensions employed in the construction of offspring confusion? And please, not to forget the male sea horse which bears the young in that species. Your humor has me almost doubled over on the floor, laughing uncontrollably with far too many tears of delight. Stop, please! Okay, you may begin again! Jon Michael Willey

I think it's genetically inherited, Charlie, like our vestigial tail =D
O, and Deborah, I think perhaps I am much too crass and unpredictable for poor Oprah to take ;)

I had mine the old fashioned way. It sounds harder. Can you take courses on parthenogenesis? --Charlie

and Carry On you shall! What a delightful funny read! Someday hope to see you sitting with Oprah as she giggles reading an a page from your most creative pen! Cheers, Deborah

Giving so much of yourself in your words... beauty to behold...a fragile yet strong and resilient flower.

Very amusing, entertaining and informative for we dumb men.

...similar conversation with my 12-yr-old... just keeping her safe :0) and out of "Trouble (with a capital 'T'--that rhymes with ['C']--and that stands for ["CooL"].... we gotta find a way to keep these young ones moral after school...)" and safe, I might add... --Charlie

Reading your article touched me but I couldn't put into words my feelings. Reading Scotts below, I didn't have to, He did for me. Your writings are Divine! Deborah
Signing Away Your Moments Is Not All Bad (Article) - 4/14/2008 5:48:48 PM
I read this...and then I read it again out loud; careful to breathe at the right spots and to linger over syllables where I felt you would have me. This prose is very poetic, very stream of consciousness, very reminiscent of a female-souled Kerouac. I have read much of what you have posted here with other pieces and I fully recognize a distant, but ever-present darkness and pain in your words - even a contempt, if you will, for those sappy, ill-meaning princes. But there must come a time when one stops blaming the moth for flying into the flame. The soul that writes these words is a luminous globe and will undoubtedly attract both beautiful butterflies and clumsy June bugs. The wonder here for me is not the stupidity of the bugs, but the brilliance of the light. I love this piece but couldn't disagree more with the final line. You have far more to give than scribbles and keystrokes, screamed or purred or otherwise. You are so much more.
Signing Away Your Moments Is Not All Bad (Article) - 4/14/2008 5:45:12 PM
Your gift is lavish beyond your means to constantly replenish. For you are giving the very soul of yourself dear woman. If your gift were simply your magnificent talents, could anyone ask more? I think not. Your self esteem needs adjustment, it is most certainly too low. Your soul is to be reserved for you and your God. No other mortals should be permited to impinge their desires upon the aura of that specter. Go forth to entertain with the promise to self of entertaining yourself the most! All others that happen to be entertained should consider the gift immense and ask not more. The shadow of who we truly are, must always remain an enigma to hold the value to lure, to entice, to intrigue. Bleed not for those seeking to know and therefore own, the soul of you. My blessings to a most talented and remarkable poet, and persona. Jon Michael Willey
WhenThePreybecomesThePredator (Poetry) - 4/26/2009 7:26:24 AM
Selene, your marvelous poetry is still as smooth as silk paper laced with perfume -- the imagery is superb -- pain flows through your lines until in the end, there is retribution and the predator is dealt his just deserts -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael
WhenThePreybecomesThePredator (Poetry) - 4/24/2009 10:02:30 AM
The pain of abuse is turned outward in release. Powerful! The line, "...while confused she pulled back into a tulip frame and mourned her skin from behind the sun" is tragically beautiful! And there are many more beautiful lines in this poem. Imagery and meaning that linger as if a sorrowed stone in the heart. You are poet of tremendous import, Selene...Regards, Lin
Mullberries And Tapestries (Poetry) - 4/15/2009 3:04:09 PM
Reminds me of my maternal grandparents, Selene. The sentiment, the flow and imagery of this write is wonderful. Thank you for this memoir...
Mullberries And Tapestries (Poetry) - 1/17/2009 3:05:05 AM
Absolutely gorgeous. --Charlie
This Is How The Horses Scream (Poetry) - 1/16/2009 1:48:41 PM
certainly you have unlocked the right moment for your readers Selene -- the twists and turns of childhood realities laced with lore and old world tales -- this is another delightful and entertaining work -- may the light of love bring you peace and great joy -- JMW
Mullberries And Tapestries (Poetry) - 1/16/2009 5:55:55 AM
Truly a wonderful piece. You might like to know that you have a small typo in the second verse. 'Grandmother'.
Best,

Mullberries And Tapestries (Poetry) - 1/16/2009 12:04:30 AM
Wonderful metaphors...truly beautiful writing.
Mullberries And Tapestries (Poetry) - 1/15/2009 4:35:45 PM
Selene,
Rich and beautiful and worthwhile in its evocations, this is a fine poem, very fine indeed.
John
Mullberries And Tapestries (Poetry) - 1/15/2009 3:13:48 PM
This is excellent, Selene. Love your metaphors.
Notably:
kneading history into my bones
as she kneaded bread
with her strong woman hands.
And:
I ate the stories off their lips with kisses.

A snap shot, in brevity, of a life you took much comfort in living, expertly crafted.
Mullberries And Tapestries (Poetry) - 1/15/2009 2:41:50 PM
I second Jon's comments, and add that your talent in opening up the memories of your childhood rings with clarity and beauty.
Connie
Mullberries And Tapestries (Poetry) - 1/15/2009 2:35:45 PM
Selene, it is so wonderful to see your words, great poetic tails, once again embracing the authors den -- your fond memories of your grandparents, and their recollections of an era and life style long past and alien to many, are so beautiful -- your poem rings with an honest love, richness and sincerity -- may love, peace and joy fill the moments of your life -- JMW
This Is How The Horses Scream (Poetry) - 1/15/2009 1:53:01 PM
This is so gripping. Girls in shreaded innosence...men who delite in tearing precious silks and crushing gems into pastes to replace their eyes... People who can do good, who choose not to... You'll find me at your bar in the afterlife pleading your case, and against the monsters who tried to destroy you.
One thing's for sure though, You are still a gorgeous creature, monster or no! And your words are exquisite no matter what subject you write about. --Charlie
ReadySetLet'sGo (Poetry) - 12/18/2008 8:52:45 AM
Hi VictoriaSelene M Skye Deme. I read your poem and found its imagery exquisit! So full of soul and passion. Well done. Please feel free to visit my site here in the "Den".
The slip Of a Girl (Poetry) - 11/29/2008 4:18:54 PM
...to sail upon your words...of sensitivity and light...is to bring each and every image you create...to surface...its reflection...the sometime tearful water of the soul.
most excellent work as always VictoriaSelene...
John
The slip Of a Girl (Poetry) - 11/16/2008 8:15:11 AM
Had that girl lived this wonderful life it would of been so thrilling to her to have her husbands love and him by her side. Loved this different write, and things happen to all sometimes like this. Sad but true.
EVE BLOOMS (Poetry) - 11/14/2008 9:25:05 AM
Precise significance in this razoresque expression you have crafted born in the fragments of the bittersweet torture of love. The romance yet dominates the horizon of your emotions. Beautiful work.
Amor
The slip Of a Girl (Poetry) - 11/7/2008 2:37:45 PM
This is superbly beautiful...the fleeting thoughts slipping in and out among the story you wove. It has all of the right emotions of gentle love, nostalgia, melancholy and yet...there is joy within the lines as well...a sense of healing, as much healing as ever can be done when a child is lost.
Cryssa
TheBodyBread (Poetry) - 10/6/2008 9:19:53 AM
"TheBodyBread" flows into a philosophic-poetic river running to the lake of symbolism and reality.

I love this... from the slip of a girl that you are, weaver of images, to the slip of a girl you dream of-- it's all beautiful. I always love your fairytale-feel with added depth.
It means something extra beautiful to me. Thank you. --charlie
EVE BLOOMS (Poetry) - 10/5/2008 6:17:54 PM
Outstanding symbolism and subjects dealt in "EVE BLOOMS" keep this composition flowing into deep poemization to depict visions and emotions of a heart that dances to the wise rhythm of the soul.
