This is great, Erin

I just saw this movie and this fit it perfectly! Great write. Now I should read the book :)

And he won a Nobel Prize for that awful thing.

This is an excellent book review of that gruesome book. I read it enthralled by the downward spiral of humanness with the turn of each page. Liz

A very good poem you have written,take care

Erin,

Sheer poetic perfection . . . an analogy for the eyes and senses!


Best wishes,

ERIN - Superb analogy, review, and commentary!

As a 17 year-old senior in HS, I read this book as a reading assignment in 1954. I couldn't put the book down, and finished it over a weekend. That was 50 years ago!

When the movie came out, nine years later, I loved it! This set of young actors truly portrayed the symbolisms presented in the novel. While I have never gotten 'into' the TV SURVIVORS series, I believe that "Lord of The Flies" would just HAVE to be the origin of this concept.

The discovery of the Parachutist was a fascinating example of LOST HOPE! Survival of the Fittest was also exemplified in this great novel and movie.

ERIN - Now that you have piqued my interest again, I went to NETFLIX and just discovered that a REMAKE of the movie was done in 1990 - IT is now in my que!

Thank you for a nostalgic walk down "Memory Lane!" Tom.

Most interesting Erin, kind of mystical in nature, mind boggling and great, enjoyed the trip. l&p G

I do believe Mr. Golding is now upright in his burial place, demanding that you give him audience! I'll tell you one thing, this would have been required reading, had I been the English teacher assigning this book! My goodness, Erin E K M.. (got any more? hehe) I'm entirely winded, doing 3 full 'laps' here.. and will save it, for the betterment of others' who read this classic, as well. You're a bloody WONDER! katy xox.

On my walking through the prairie of knowledge I passed by the tree of creativity and saw “The Lord of the Flies”. I returned to have a heedful look over, and there I saw the signature of
Poet Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen.

I was looking for an artistic poetic philosophical striker... Eureka!
“The Lord of the Flies” showed it in full!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>“The Lord of the Flies” is a combination of impressionism-realism-symbolism-surrealism that tells the story and delivers the message.

Erin... This is out standing!!! But I feel this would be stonger without the repeat at the ending and a few filler words removed. Dang this is good!!!!!!!

In my shadowed mind I see
a tribe of boys turn bestially from
the rites of humankind, as they dine, free
as pigs unfettered run, I hear the thrum

of hooves on hearts; and homemade darts invade
my head, the dancing, prancing animals
progressed to Mankind’s principals, remade
by Nature’s laws to be—undesirables

Erin...clap clap clap....really a true delight to read and ponder on and on!!!!

What a title Erin, did you know that lucifer is referred to as the Lord of the flies?
Appropriate I feel.

Anyhow notwithstanding that input, a rather interesting and inspiring write mate. Ty

Good book. Interesting tapestry you've woven here.

an excellent version of the "Flies" theme ...

I will never forgot the impact this film
had on me the first time I saw it! So shocked
I couldn't get it out of my mind for months.I
had dreams about it. You describe it well Erin!

Poor piggy, I watched this two nights ago, very well summarised and how it affected you.

Reminded me a bit of Animal Farm.

This was excellent! I loved it,
