A Test Of Patience (Poetry) - 6/23/2020 1:20:57 PM
I enjoyed this poem. The opening line, "Clouded thoughts of passion", how so true a line it is. Well done Kristian!
Druid Voices (Poetry) - 3/19/2017 9:56:07 AM
"Druid Voices" sings romance in the rhythm of Love with a sublime voice... A poetic romantic flower that suffuses scent of Love.
Blessed are those whose hearts pump grace and Love.
I have enjoyed this exquisite love poem.
In reverent appreciation,

ESSENCE (Poetry) - 3/19/2017 9:27:28 AM

Viva the Poet!

The Chronicles Of Evanthe Pt 3 The Truth of Niflheim (Exacting The Toll) (Poetry) - 7/24/2015 4:49:46 PM
I love this tale and its influences I know personally how your research and adherence to the myths and legends matter. It shows in this wonderfully crafted piece of writing. I might add that previous comment on its folk song qualities may encourage you to do something along those lines, knowing you portfolio of skills.
The Chronicles Of Evanthe Pt 3 The Truth of Niflheim (Exacting The Toll) (Poetry) - 7/24/2015 6:57:31 AM
Richard has given me much insight into what you've written. While I did not understand the Nordic mythology used in your poem and I have forgotten your earlier installments, I found that reading your poetry was like listening very fine folk song, so melodic and meaningful, even though I had difficulty following the plot.
Very fine writing and best wishes in completing this epic piece.
Ron
The Chronicles Of Evanthe Pt 3 The Truth of Niflheim (Exacting The Toll) (Poetry) - 7/23/2015 9:22:58 AM
Excellent 3rd installment, Kristian. Niflheim: apparently found mentioned only in Snorri's works. Darkness, cold, mist, and ice. A land of fog. Creatively provoking indeed. I spent several years immersed in Norse Mythology when I wrote my series. Now... I know she wasn't your prominent character but I've always admired Freya and her warm-heartedness for beauty fertility love and fine stuff. As a member of the 'Vanir Tribe of Deities' and very prominent in the 'Aesir-Vanir War', she was always a beloved mytho-character for me, along with Heimdall, Forseti, Frigga, Vor, and of course Thor, and, being somewhat loath to admit it, Loki as well. I think each of us has a little Loki in us. You might find some continuing inspiration (for your 4th installment) in a book entitled: 'The Love of Destiny - The Sacred and the Profane in Germanic Polytheism' By Dan McCoy.
Another thoughtfully wrought poetic-pearl. Superb rhyme-scheme. Your work excels. Enjoyed. Continued inspiration. rlc

Altered States (Poetry) - 6/1/2015 5:40:06 AM
Hi Krissy,
You have certainly chosen a contentious subject.
(It must be the Irish in you)
Despite all the reservations about G.M crops, the world may not have choice shortly, other than go that route, if climate change continues at its present rate.
The world is facing a global disaster in regards to food supply.
Medically there considerable benefits accruing from G.M. bacteria, the production of Insulin for diabetics just to name one of the many, and bio fuel another.
I would imagine one possible answer to that scourge of the Irish and Celtic people “hereditary hemochromatosis” will be eradicated eventually, by such gene modification.
In answer to your question, I think that those modified and those un-modified will both land up in the same pot, with a special hot grill set aside for the Vatican crowd.
Altered States (Poetry) - 6/1/2015 5:32:55 AM
Don't mind Jerry. But he did get close…
We are already genetically modified since we use technology to prolong our lives and improve our chances of reproduction even when we shouldn't pass on our damage genes to the next generation.
But then again, genetic mutation is natural and very common in all of us, creating the diversity and strength of the living population and even the character of humans. Perhaps the biggest danger in genetically modifying ourselves is to stress uniformity over diversity, thus weakening our gene pool.
Ron

The Chronicles Of Evanthe ll (Poetry) - 9/1/2014 3:34:22 AM
A very well wrought piece that adheres to the old Celtic mythologies. It's such a great and varied mythology from which to launch an epic poem such as this. The dolmens being doors to other existences add a haunting quality to this piece. I will come back and look at these pieces you've created at a later date Kristian. Bob

In The Blink Of An Eye (Poetry) - 7/3/2014 1:13:01 AM
Ah! M'Dear. The beauty of hind sight and 20/20 vision. Wonderful snapshot of our attitude to age throughout our evolution. Penned marvellously and tongue sticking out through the cheek. Observation and social comment through rhyme is oft hard to truly master. You have done so as always with that devious wink of that eye of yours.
In The Blink Of An Eye (Poetry) - 7/2/2014 3:05:37 PM
No mstter whether or not we resist aging, it has to happen anyway everyday. We just have to feel good about ourselves even when we age. Just consider it lucky to have the privilege to grow older, because some may not be so lucky: Young soldiers who go to wars and lose their lives; young children die in war zone countries; or those who are simply sick because the Lord call them home too early. - All these people never had the chance to grow old.
Sandie
In The Blink Of An Eye (Poetry) - 7/2/2014 10:12:19 AM
What a wonderful poem that doesn't try to resist aging like so many others do. Instead you are embracing it with wonderful humor interspersed in the lines that would be great for you to use as a standup comic.
As I've grown older, I've grown fonder of older women and what they can offer. They can still thrill me especially if they have a naughty streak.
As for quitting, I'll give you thumbs-up for smoking and then let's go have a drink of whiskey together.
Ron
In The Blink Of An Eye (Poetry) - 7/2/2014 6:07:32 AM
My feelings exactly! What a GREAT poem. You have a BIG heart and lots of character to write a poem like that! Time is ticking by and the closer I get the more I want to continue to run. But this clock does not run forever and there are too many dreams that get tossed into the grave.
Peace, love and multiple blessings,

Tales O' The Clanaugh MacGregor (3) (Poetry) - 6/29/2014 3:38:46 PM
Hi Krissy,
I am still up to my eyes, working on this old house, I need to make the best of this fine weather, so unfortunately no time for poetry ‘til the nights draw in.
I read this with more than just enjoyment. My late grandmother Helen MacGregor was a direct descendant of the infamous Rob Roy MacGregor, “Ruadh MacGriogair”, (The red MacGregor) so I have a personal interest too.
Incidentally the Scots Gaelic “'S rioghal mo dhream” correctly translated into English is “My race is royal”
Of course tradition has it that the Gregor clan had in their possession a kelpie bridle that an ancestral MacGregor had kept when he saved himself from the attention of a Glashtyn, a Loch Slochd kelpie, one of the bad kind.

Krissy,
It is nice to read your work again. It seems as though a long time has passed since I did. Your poem conveys such a difficult topic with such respectability and truth. Abuse is not love, in any way, shape, or form, but sadly, the abused are blind to this realization for being bound by the beliefs to the contrary that the abuser twists and moulds into their heads as fact.
Take care and welcome back!

'For I am knealed before the throne...Perhaps to right the Karmic path...But, fight I must to winners gain..' Oh Kristian this is a fantastic poem ... 'Triomphante'... 'I shall Triumph'!! Yes, yes you surely will!!
I love what you wrote in the forward ... 'is this not the duty of us all? to fight the good fight?' It sure is!! This question reminds me of a poem i've written called 'Why'. Please read if poss!

Hey Krissy. Good to see you again. And quite strange. I was thinking just yesterday of sending you a mail. How synchronous is that?
Sorrow is never simple. And is so damn painful that I often wonder why bother ever loving if there is a chance it will end badly and with pain. Excellent write. ~ Sara
Simple Sorrow (Poetry) - 9/22/2005 6:13:53 PM

what a wonderful poem
full of outstanding messages
you are so right it said that "he" was the most beautiful of all angels
The Grand Deception (Poetry) - 2/7/2005 4:02:43 AM
This is a very good poem. The rhyming of the second and fourth lines really helps the flow. The story behind those words is very wise and thoughtful. Nice work.

Winter Heart (Poetry) - 11/20/2004 5:43:39 PM
Excellent images, Kristian, though I love the winter, because it affords me a peaceful quietness that is not present in other seasons. I see winter as much deserved rest for a job well done. From the sleep, begins again the cycle of birth to death and back again to sleep. Nice job on this!
Take care,
Sherry
Believing (Poetry) - 10/10/2004 4:36:26 PM
What a truly beautiful write. I think we often forget how very important each of us are. We get so caught up in the negatives of the world etc. that we lose sight of the fact that there is beauty in each and every one of us. Am so glad I stopped intoday and read your poem. It was much needed. Thank you for the gentle reminder.

Picking Up The Pieces? (Poetry) - 4/4/2004 1:36:20 PM
Krissy, life is hard enough without torturing ourselves over all the could of, should of, would of's. The key is to look fear in the eye and say, "I'm worth my choices." Good to read you again, hope you are starting to thaw out up there. Get ready for the summer mosquitoes.
