The Final Verdict (Poetry) - 6/28/2016 6:21:20 AM
I would have better you had come to her naked although well bathed, not showing any wealth or circumstance by your dress. That you would impress her by your kindness, your knowledge, and your love.

It seems clearly to me to be… After the ordeal. It's a wonder we come out alive from such degradation.

The Very First Time (Poetry) - 3/20/2016 8:28:51 AM
A very interesting view of human progress. I'm not sure that I have any memory of several of these "firsts." I don't recall anything until I was about four, so what happened earlier, however traumatic,
I would move that second to last stanza about the first breath, to the beginning of the poem.

If the Almighty exists, he certainly doesn't need any of this. Only lesser would need all the accoutrements you have described.

Truth, love, and beauty need no embellishment. Kudos.

It doesn't look that bushy to me! I never imagined one could study his moustache so thoroughly and intimately; it made for an interesting discourse.

ghastly war could only win (Poetry) - 2/17/2016 10:47:35 PM
Good thoughts to ponder here. War sparks anger and hatred let alone death and destruction. What good is war? No good! We have two ears so we can listen better. But we have one mouth and we should speak only after we understand the other persons point of view. Amen!
ghastly war could only win (Poetry) - 2/17/2016 7:54:58 AM
With repeated strokes of language bitter, you have hammered home the atrocity that is war. Society is not better for countless blood soaked genocides and other glorified massacres.
Perhaps the greatest war of all is the one against ignorance that holds so many people in this world captive to timeworn old ideologies that serve no purpose only to inflame war.

Redder Than The Reddest Of Rose—my Valentine. (Poetry) - 2/13/2016 11:11:22 AM
I'm surprised that no one has commented. While all of these parts of a woman cannot the same red, for there would be no delineation of color, you got your point across quite well by the exuberant and over-the-top descriptions that followed. At some point, I think you are mocking or making fun of this object of reverence by stating, "galloping legs" and "half-baked emotions," as though just picking fun.

A Tribute to the Nobel Prize ( nobelprize.org ) - my humble salutations . (Poetry) - 11/16/2015 10:19:27 AM
Alfred Bernhard Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, and armaments manufacturer. He was the inventor of dynamite. As he reached old age, he realized that his invention was being used worldwide for war and destruction as well as for building and progress that he had originally intended.
Therefore, he endowed his considerable fortune, upon his death, to establish the Nobel Prize. Nothing nobler, has been accomplished by all the other well-meaning benefactors since.

Ronald Hull i wanted to let you know that the festival of Diwali is
not abusive, extravagant and totally unnecessary under God's great Earth . nevertheless some mortals choose the atrociously wrong path to welcome God on diwali , therefore in this Poem of mine as above described i am endeavoring my best to enlighten people of the righteous path to welcome God on diwali ;
my earnest attempt through this Poem is to make a mortal candidly realize of the folly he / she may commit in welcoming the Creator .
how would you choose to welcome God on diwali ? (Poetry) - 11/10/2015 9:40:32 AM
From the contrasts portrayed, I take it that Diwali has some practices that are quite abusive, extravagant, and totally unnecessary under God's great Earth.
A fair warning…

October 2 - Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday & International Day of Non-Violence . (Poetry) - 10/5/2015 9:23:40 AM
I agree that to refer to terrorism in the past tense is to not acknowledge that it is a threat that grows ever more violent and intense with each passing day. A terrorist is a self-contained hater of others. He or she may be brainwashed, but they cannot be elevated to civilized status by besmirching those who call them "Terrorists."
October 2 - Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday & International Day of Non-Violence . (Poetry) - 10/2/2015 11:23:25 AM
An interesting device to hammer home your point. I find the past tense, "They belonged…" not to be true because terrorists are among us and it seems like their numbers are growing.
I think you're right about terrorists in some respect, mainly, as Jesus was reported to have said, "They know not what they do." On the other hand, I believe that some terrorists, particularly the leaders, have a definite reason for why they are inflicting terror on others, as diabolical and senseless as that may seem.
