Cuts Like A Knife (Short Story) - 5/4/2005 4:44:19 PM
This is so symbolic and impressive, the arrow flying from the bow!
What a mature and wise tale.
The fight and pain of independant thought, lifestyle, and stance, yet at the same time, the bond of blood...
Bravo!!
No wonder you are proud.
And I am sure this does not represent Mr A Hall.....he is too progressive a dad for this backward thinking lol

Hi Anthony,

Terrific write!

Cuts Like A Knife (Short Story) - 1/11/2005 9:14:26 AM
Aaron...you have captured emotions so deep in this piece, that I got
a lump in my throat reading it. "Been there, done that"
You have the potential to become a great writer, I believe, and (when you are accepting autographs from an admiring batch of fans)I hope I can be in the line-up.
Truly enjoyable story!
Cuts Like A Knife (Short Story) - 1/11/2005 9:11:16 AM

Hello, it’s Me (Article) - 1/18/2007 1:11:08 AM
The end of a relationship often fosters bitterness, but when we are able to examine ourselves that bitterness is replaced by spiritual and psychological growth as well as forgiveness to the other party. Eventually we may also forgive ourselves for our sleepiness and blindness. That's what I see in this piece, Anthony, the path of spiritual growth. It's a thoughtful, touching write, and I'm glad you posted it again. I'm sure it will give other readers good food for thought. ~~Nordette
1984 - revised (Poetry) - 8/23/2016 6:15:18 AM
Winston, lose or draw; fine poem for the well trained citizen - Chris Hedges says, "I don't fight Fascists because I expect to win. I fight them because they are Fascists."
1984 - revised (Poetry) - 6/7/2010 5:07:58 PM
"We should just give in, Big-Brother will certainly win"

Sun, Wind and Moon (Poetry) - 3/12/2009 12:21:53 PM
I love this poem. Some wonderful metaphors, so romantic and well penned.
1984 - revised (Poetry) - 2/19/2009 12:48:31 PM
This is a great poem! It is true that there are signs of Orwell's book, 1984. For instance, there are many cameras, video devices and other ways that the government or others can find out so many things about each person. Yet, we still live in a great country and I still have a love for our country! There are times when big brother watches out for us, yet in a day and age of identity theft and fraud, there are many people who have access to our information for their own benefit.
Yet, even in all of that, we still live in the best country in the world.
Secret Lovers (Poetry) - 2/12/2009 4:02:01 PM

Joanna
Fallen Star (Poetry) - 2/12/2009 3:58:43 PM
Bellisimo!! You obviously have passion with every word that you write. My favorite part of this poem are the words:
"You float above the fawning masses Who bathe in your brilliant light
But like a comet that quickly passes
All too soon you’re gone from sight. " You are sending a powerful message with so many spices!
There are many people in life who might not be genuine, or they lose their way as they get caught up with the attention, fame, or the "ardor" without loving others in a genuine way. Unfortunately, some people do not care about who they have hurt along the way.
This is a powerful message, and I will be tracking your work. I admire your writing style. Please stop by my den again sometime!

Black Man (Poetry) - 1/30/2006 10:33:53 AM
A m a z i n g. Sad and frustrated as you must have been while
writing the poem -- angry? --, you kept it simple. Yherein lies its power. By choosing a few perfect words, you have
created a masterpiece that could move a heart of stone. Those that are not moved are robots! Write ON!! 'Pea' <3
Black Man (Poetry) - 1/28/2006 10:23:18 AM
A passionate write, Anthony, that I'm sure will resonate with people concerned about some of our black men who've embraced corroded values. I like how you stated at the end that you are one too. This prevents the poem from being an "us-them" write, thick with condemnation, and reveals that the heart of the poet is with (in prayer/in the trenches) his fellow man in the struggle to overcome poverty of spirit and to rise to his rightful place of honor from which he honors the ancestors, his family, himself, and God.
As you may know, I already have a link to one of your other poems on my Kings and Kindreds page.. :-) ~~Nordette

Dreams For Only A Buck (Poetry) - 5/15/2005 6:56:18 AM
a captivating and imaginative poem ...
Dreams For Only A Buck (Poetry) - 5/11/2005 1:14:10 PM
"...I show them how to take back life
In their hands so they can feel
to create dreams their very own
will make life much more real
sadly hearts and minds are constantly
hit by the ‘Hopelessness’ truck
with money in hand, they’ll stand in line
buying my dreams for just a buck..."
So true. I'v been teaching goal setting for years. Some just don't give a damn.
Thoughtful work and I love the rhyme.
Elizabeth

The theme, the beautifully presented memories-in-verse, is a gift

A fine job!

Silent Significance (Poetry) - 4/21/2005 12:36:34 PM
"Silent Significance" flows on from a heart that pumps love, poemizes sublimity and poetizes the essence of life. It is an inspired, inspiring bountiful wondering of poetic grand.

Dearest Mr. Hall, I could have written this poem over 70 years ago. However,in my case it would have been to my mother who left my father. I feel your pain. I did meet her 30 years ago. Keep writing.
Not a Good Night (Revision) (Poetry) - 3/31/2005 6:43:54 PM
A well written work. It gave me a chuckle because the philosophy expressed reminds me of my late beloved father. R

An enjoyable reading on thoughts of life and death, flowing under the rhythm of the drums of curiosity, entering the tunnel of imagination like a firefly through the shadows of doubt.
"Not a Good Night (Revision)" is a good poetic meal for the evening.

Anthony...what you have expressed so beautifully here depicts a
man who is still very much in power. Aging becomes you, my 'brother.'
May your words continue to sustain not only you and your peers at AD,
but your lovely children and grandchildren.
Warriors Age (Poetry) - 1/26/2005 6:36:19 AM
This is rather interesting and true about the coming of age.
Warriors Age (Poetry) - 1/25/2005 8:59:22 PM
I've missed your poetry Ant. Excellent poem! Albeit it tinged with sadness it ends on a triumphant note. I'm so happy that you've seen positive in getting older (lets not use euphemisms heehee). To worry about looks and all of that is pure vanity. What is inside only gets better as time progresses. Thanks for providing much food-for-thought. You are indeed a mighty lion and your roar is still heard.
AND write more!!! ;-)
With thanks...Chanti

One of your best, Anthony.
Yes, it is a shame that some feel themselves worthy of being
worshipped. We know the scriptures relating to this, do we not?
I won't even try to make a 'guess' at who you are referring to here,
but your poem makes some strong points, whoever it is directed at.
Keep up the fine work.

The tragedy of a falling star - masterly penned. Stars are people with a larger-than-life personality belonging to them and others. Whilst the image can be splendid, the real person's soul is dying behind a wall of glamour. Franz

The Same Doors (Poetry) - 7/18/2004 12:37:22 AM
Anthony, you know how much I admire your work and right now I could wax lyrical about the eloquence and beauty of your words but what I really wanted to say to you here is this: It is good and it is right that we should keep the door to our hearts locked. Too many abuse the deepest chamber and cause at times irreparable damage (heaven knows we have done it ourselves). The journey within is a wondrous one, and one you discover with the one you allow entry to. I have always believed that when we discover others, we discover ourselves. Happy journey precious adventurer! Chanti
The Same Doors (Poetry) - 7/18/2004 12:13:54 AM

Wow! Anthony...I donated some copies of my first children's book
"Fredi," about a tree frog, to this same organization. Fulfilling,
isn't it? Made me feel better than those sold at signings. I'll wager
that's the way it was for you, too. Reading is the key to a whole new
world for these kids...and...some adults, too!
This is a lovely poem, "thinking" poet.

Dear Anthony,
Thank you for suggesting I read this. Wow! I wish that I could express adequately how this made me feel. It is thought provoking and disturbing. Why should man be judged by his skin colour? ...and yet it happens still.
I am looking forward to reading more from you. Thank you so much for commenting on my work.

Wow, this was fantastic. This was a short, short fiction poem.
I think you'd get paid good $$$ if you submit a poem like this
to paying magazines.

This is a precious gem of a poem Anthony! It should be read
by every father! One of the best I've ever read on this topic.
Poetry is sewn in your soul! Bravo!

If only fathers knew what they meant to their children...I really like this one.
Father, I Write (Poetry) - 6/10/2004 5:14:53 PM
A poignant and powerful piece of writing, Anthony!
BTW...my father and brother are named Anthony. I liked the
name enough to give it to the antagonist in my Roman novel.
And the Jello...it comes in all kinds of flavors...whatever
the taste buds dictate.
And thanks for the comment on my poem.

Father, I Write (Poetry) - 6/10/2004 4:23:45 PM
This is an excellent piece, Anthony. Your talent is evident. I understand your pain but in a somewhat different light. An incredibly powerful last line. Thank you.

Very touching write Anthony. I lost my father to suicide and your poem expressed my emotions. I wished that my father was still here... I cannot understand why he left me? Why he gave up? Thank you for sharing this with us. Brilliant.

Oh Anthony
You are a indeed a poet......and yes writing does help, at least for myself I find it a distraction........all your emotions are so evident in this write, it was like reading a diary, or a letter that never got mailed...........
well done.....by the son!
bravo............Anita :)

"The Spook Who Sat By The Door" says it as it flows through its contents. The message is delivered to whom it may concern.
I never thought that soul had colors.

"This is Fatherhood?" is a poem that reveals "A COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF" Poet. It is a unique poetical creation.
I have enjoyed the reading of a masterpiece titled "This is Fatherhood?".

Brilliant parallel, thought provoking flavored with humor. I like the passing on of the baton. This is just great writing.
This is Fatherhood? (Poetry) - 5/10/2004 3:28:13 PM
Great job. I enjoyed the way you expressed the theme as well as the rhyme. It almost sounded like a cadence called by soldiers marching in formation.

Hi Anthony!
I am so impressed with this piece of work! The romance you created between Nature and the Elements is very clever and insightful.
I enjoyed this so much, I read it three times.
Romantic and perfectly penned. A keeper!
Love, Bonnie
