Tiger's Eye (Short Story) - 7/23/2009 3:55:17 PM
I stumbled on this trying to find my way around this website, and I'm glad.
It's so perfectly short and to the point. It flows beautifully with a rhythm that is simple and natural. Even as a short story, this is nothing short of poetic.

Carnival Nights PART 1 (Short Story) - 4/11/2007 3:00:28 PM
well something good id say. id also say you should stick to the horror stories you seem very good at them. one thing i wanted you to know in case youve never been published though. there is a sight thats free called publishamerica.com they look at your stories and publish them and give you roylties for the books sold. just thought you might like to know this.
Tiger's Eye (Short Story) - 4/14/2006 6:49:02 PM
And that's why I never go to the circus. Maybe you were a tiger in one of your past lives. Keep writing so more people can feel the pain that we put our animal friends through. It wasn't meant to be that way.
Excellent style!
Tiger's Eye (Short Story) - 7/13/2005 12:43:49 PM
Well done! I was drawn in from the beginning and couldn't stop reading. I could feel the tiger's pain.
Tiger's Eye (Short Story) - 7/29/2004 3:59:47 AM
Lori,
I thought I would stop by and "Tiger's Eye" caught my eye. I must say that I became that poor tiger as I read your short story. You wrote well from a tiger's point of view. It must be horrible for an animal to live in a cage, to be trained by a whip, and have perform for people. This is a wonderful story. Hope there's a heaven for animals, too.

Spectacular Attractions Offers More Than Spectaculars (Article) - 4/13/2009 9:50:57 AM
I worked for Drago from 1989 to 1993 Paul & Jerry Amore were the best boses a guy could ever have. They always made sure nobody did without. If you showed you were a really hard worker they always wanted you back the next year. It was really one of the greatest experiences in my life. I will never forget Paul & Jerry and the friendship we had. ROBERT LEWIS
Pappy: Interview with the Carny (Article) - 11/13/2007 6:37:54 AM
I have many fond memories of Pappy. When I look back at my days on a midway, I think of Pappy and smile. The year I met Pappy, I went to work with Fiesta, and Pappy was a fixture, I never think of that merry go round without thinking of Pappy. I had a cat with me that year, and would take my cat out for walks, and Pappy used to tell everybody that I was the only women he knew that walked her pussy on a leash. Thank you for taking the time to write this it is a wonderful walk down memory lane.

Unforgettable, Forgotten Face (Poetry) - 5/8/2018 8:07:13 AM
It's hard to fathom that you wrote this in seven minutes. Shows that you feel deeply about the subject matter and the way it affects you every time you look in the mirror and don't recognize your own image of yourself. It would be nice to have you think nice thoughts, but perhaps that's not possible right now.

My darkest poem (Poetry) - 10/21/2017 11:33:10 AM
Very good for four minutes. Yes very dark. Edgar Allan Poe wrote that way. And he died at 29. But his world was much more dangerous and dark than ours.
But you are right, we crave blood and gore. While world statistics show that blood and gore is being replaced by lovers and flowers, many of us are in a dark place and have to have our daily fix of gore from our news. And then we go to movies, play video games and watch television where gore has become a staple of excitement. Some live out their fantasies that they find in these devices by dressing up and acting out. When they get serious, it can end badly like suicide or mass murder.

Nonsense (Poetry) - 10/18/2017 7:47:21 AM
I can understand your struggle to compose. Lately my stream of short stories dried up, although I can still compose a poem on the spur of the moment without thinking of anything before. Your poem is quite good for describing your situation when it comes to your muse… Although contemplating death at 38 seems a bit premature.
I'm so glad you posted the edit. While I don't understand the disease or the complicated symptoms and inability to cure, I believe I can empathize.
I was paralyzed in surgery when I was 20. After I was fortunate to leave the hospital five weeks later walking, but with shriveled arms and hands, I began to notice that, while I still had a very good appetite, my gastrointestinal system was not the same and never would be… Starting with lactose intolerance and then becoming other things. Twenty-five years ago I had to go on a bowel program to keep myself from bloating and other problems. In the last five years changes have been accelerating and now I have daily bowel problems that need to be attended to or I suffer greatly. Yet I am nowhere near death like you are at such a young age and have survived 55 years since my injury, far more than many friends like me who have died like Christopher Reeve.
I certainly hope that a procedure or cure comes along very soon like I wish for stem cell therapy to restore my spinal neurons and saves the day for both of us. In the meantime, write as much as you can about your carnival days until you can't anymore. We will understand.

Nonsense (Poetry) - 10/18/2017 4:24:54 AM
Dear Lori,
You were created in Gods image.
He loves you more than anyone on earth can say.
You are beautiful in Gods eyes, a precious child of His.
You are really never alone, God is with you in the mist.
Before my faith in Him, I was numb and felt like I wanted to die.
But someone reached out to me, it was a miracle and I don't know why.
But someone cared enough for me to stop a life full of strife
Now I pass on the joy received that gave me hope and a new life
I really do not understand how God works I only know He loves me
It's the greatest love that's everlasting for all the world to see
Now I pray, "May the peace and joy of the Lord be with you Lori"
Amen

I hate poetry challenges, but it looks like, in spite of your hiatus from writing that you nailed the challenge quite nicely. Unfortunately on such a dark topic that tended to be our reminder of what happened in Las Vegas recently.

A deeply personal, meaningful, and moving poem, Lori. I extend my empathy to you with regard to the challenges that you have faced. I admire your attitude as you state it in the epilogue to your poem. I am not sure of course, since this is not my poem but I think you may have meant to write "seems" in this verse:
Life seem slower in these days...
I often make typos and appreciate it when others point them out so that I can edit them.

Shuttin' These Words Down (Poetry) - 11/19/2010 2:19:47 PM
Lori,
I'm not sure I agree with the statement that other poets are more worthy than you. Great rhythm and rhyme in this poem, and I think blue-collar workers around the world can relate to your message. Been feeling the squeeze myself, since being laid off - 13 years at one place, down the drain, but those are the breaks. I hope your situation has improved since you wrote this. All the topics you brought up effect the lot of us. Everyone wants our money, but the return is minimal. What bothers me the most about the economy is the amount of folks willing to take advantage when one is down. As if job-hunters need to be overwhelmed with scams and offers to go to school. Thanks for sharing this poem!

I think you hit everyone today with a strong dose of reality. Some realizing it more than others. You just have to wonder..when will it all end.

Hi Lori,it is so tough out here in this world from loosing jobs to unemployment.The best thing that we can do is hope for the better.Also despite the recession that we are having,people should appreciate the littliest things that they have from their family,friends and most of all their lives.Those things makes a person rich inside of their hearts.I hope things will go right for you.It will get better somehow.take care

If I Lived to be 100 (Poetry) - 10/11/2008 2:33:21 PM
Lori! You really nailed this one! You've written a well expressed and emotive poem -- one containing many valid questions. When I was younger, I would announce to my friends and family, that I wanted to live to be 100 yrs old. But as I got older, after seeing so many older family members and others struggle with alzheimers and other ailments (and after watching daily local and world events these past years as people get crazier and crazier) I realized that I didn't want to live nearly as long. That said, I'll probably live to be 100 (if the world is still intact) since so many family members all lived to be from 94 yrs to 102 yrs old! Oh well ... LOL!

He Used To Love Me (Poetry) - 6/20/2008 7:30:25 PM
My first husband divorced me and said I don't love you anymore, cause I was depressed and in the State Hospital after Mother died. I always wondered why he did not keep his marriage vows, I suppose we got married too young. He wasn't ready yet, But Tom my second husband said he would love me forever til he died and he did just that. He would always say I love you each day and I loved him and made his life as good as I could cause I had been through a rough time with the first and he deserved his first marriage and only marriage to be a good one and it was. He was very happy with me. No doubts about it. I was not leary at all marrying him at his age 42 and my age 47. It worked out so good til death did us part. That's my story in a nutshell. I like this poetry though, it makes lots of sense. Everyone is different in this world and must decide how they will live.
He Used To Love Me (Poetry) - 6/20/2008 5:07:07 PM
