Her Soup Made the Moon Weep (Book) - 12/30/2015 9:38:03 PM
I was drawn to your book while rummaging through AD because of its intriguing title, then read in wonder the poem posted here. What a rough, raw, real poem, just brilliant, leaving me wanting more.

I recently purchased a copy of " Her Soup Made the Moon Weep " and have thus far thoroughly enjoyed it. The strength of the title was what made me want to see it. All the poems were very readable and some of them drew me in and kept me. Full of the secrets of growing up, I found much to relate to. A very well laid out work. Although I couldn't always agree with some, they all were interesting. Bob

A poem filled with hope and love for the victims of the Paris tragedy. Christ Blessings, John M.D.

A beautifully crafted poem that highlights the irony and anarchy of the shattering of the peace in the City of Lights this autumn. I hope this poem gets published in French and French newspapers… It's that good.

Casualties of War (Poetry) - 7/5/2015 10:48:39 AM
Surprised no one has commented. This is a very serious treatise on the consequences of war. So easily forgotten in the distance of time and place. You have brought it front and center for all to read. Who does the rebuilding you describe. Certainly not those drunken with war.

The Gift of Not Finding (Poetry) - 10/24/2014 7:33:57 AM
Certainly peaceful and calming. I heard recently about the Nothing Box. I find it quite helpful to turn off sound and light and just peer into the Nothing Box. That sure clears the mind of all the garbage that builds up in our hectic lives.

My mind travels like that every day as I dance through the world of my mind, ideas, and history. It's a wonderful journey that I look forward to.
Your poem is so uplifting it makes me want to jump on this chair and dance in the sunlight or rain, no matter what it be.

No Need to Explain (Poetry) - 3/7/2014 9:49:52 AM
An eclectic collection of thoughts that have a nice wholeness to them, connected to nature in a way that can relate.

To dare, to live, to love, to try, to throw caution to the wind...
the poet as explorer, or the explorer as poet? Wonderful!

exceptionally balanced prosaic probe ... i like how this poem developed and was inspired by its conclusions and proclamations ... very nice work indeed ...

A darkly exhilarating piece. I am enthralled with your use of words.

Always There (Poetry) - 12/25/2013 4:12:20 AM
Comfort is a myth at times, reserved for the memory when the frailness we've become was nonexistent. We can always lie and say that it's only temporary, but we know it's the call of age. The ticking doesn't lie. Deterioration is the end result of the squeeky gears. Just as universes die, so do we. Just as our place in existense is assured, so will our place in the book of life be assured. Have you ever watched someone through the whole process of dying? Acceptance is all that we have in the end. Lucan said that death is the middle of a long life. We have no other choice than to believe. I loved this kind of poetry, that starts the process of thought. Very readable Carol. I enjoyed. Bob

a lovely awakening ...
Awakening (Poetry) - 12/14/2013 4:55:18 PM
Nature can be many things. Unrelentingly beautiful, or unrelentingly cruel. Ugly or wondrous, depending on your state of mind or your wilingness to suspend judgements. It is always interesting, especially when being illustrated by intrigueing and well arranged words. A well done piece Carol. Bob

When to Do Nothing (Poetry) - 11/28/2013 5:18:16 AM
This seems to be a plea for preservation, of nature, of memory, collective and otherwise. Whether it is better to actively tamper with natural processes or to leave it all alone. Correspondingly we seem to have a figuative muscle, if left alone will not lock memory up. If actively engaged will make it harder to exhume memories. Perhaps it is the good sense to let things vine for themselves. Don't actively interfere..A good steward may know best by instinct. Sort of like a good doctor..first do no harm..I had a good time Carol. Bob

Well constructed Carol. As if you've isolated each sound in words of its own. Makes it easy to imagine those sounds, loud and slight that we have always heard but seldom notice. Enjoyable to read and located in the backwoods jungle and isolated side roads of the world. Bob

Captivating. As I conjured up thoughts of gentle breezes and trucks struggling uphill in low gear.
