Bella's Quest for Knowledge Across Five Continents (Short Story) - 2/9/2023 12:41:30 PM
A beautiful children's story. Why you should have put it in that section rather than Literary Fiction. But I understood that you wanted adults to understand the moral of the story as well.
I would have much liked to have Bella and her friends meet a Panda Bear in Asia because a Dragon, while mystical and magical, is a religious figure rather than an animal like the others. You didn't give a hint of the way that Bella and her friends were able to bring the ice back to the Arctic. Perhaps, using Antarctica, the last continent?
I hope you found someone who can illustrate the book and get it published. There is a great demand for children's stories like yours.

Amen brother! Beautiful glorious anointing

I'm looking forward to people finding peace in the place where they were born. That requires courage and resolve rather than fleeing to another country or place.
When the Israelites left Egypt they eventually settled in a promised land called Canaan. Unfortunately, they had to kill the people that were there before so they could occupy it.

The Fortunes of Sierra Leone (Poetry) - 1/9/2023 2:26:17 PM
West Africa truly needs to use its resources wisely and pull itself up by the bootstraps of its wonderful people in order for everyone to thrive. I won't be traveling there at my age and condition anymore, but like Liberia, Ghana and other countries, there is a rich history that people will want to come and see, along with cultural amenities and food.

Thank you, Abu, for this reminder. Beautifully said, yes, we are all brothers and sisters. We are all related.

A fine message worth stating, as in this poem, and worth remembering in this age of turmoil and strife.

It is difficult to assign a specific genre to this poem as it does not fit neatly into any category. It could be classified as a reflective or introspective poem, as it invites the reader to consider their thoughts and actions and the role others play in their journey. However, the poem does not follow a strict structure or adhere to specific conventions and standards in many poetry genres, such as rhyme or meter. Ultimately, the genre of a poem is determined by the style, themes, and techniques used by the writer, and this poem encompasses elements from various genres.

We are all living on borrowed time. It is all the beautiful things in nature provides for us during the time we have that we should, like you write, enjoy.

Roaches In Our Paths (Poetry) - 2/20/2005 7:17:07 AM
This is amazing and in 1997 after our house had burned down which nearly killed my husband and did kill my dogs what should survive but the roaches. Well we have not seen many in the new house as we are careful of paper products and had an exterminator come in. But a roach can survive a nuclear blast.

a very powerful message ... if humankind could only adhere to the principles of political tolerance the world would be a better place to live in ...
The Meaning of thier death (Poetry) - 10/13/2004 9:20:19 AM
Those who killed those
Who killed those
Are waiting to be killed by them
To continue to kill themselves
For the same reason
And yet, no good
Powerful statements here. Your poetry no doubt can be one pointer to that tree out there on the horizon for Sierra-Leone. Excellent writing.

This is a great poem. It can be interpreted in more than one way.

This poem is very thought provoking,and wise.Personally,(and this is just my own outlook,)I prefer to take a more sinuous direction (re the last line) as I am not happy to either follow, lead ,or get out .I prefer to just meander through (and I do)until the end or until I am actually picked up by the scruff of neck and tossed out of life's door.Following is a bore,leading is too much pressure and getting out is too darn hard.
You have painted an abstract with your palette of colorful words,I like it a lot.
Best wishes

Nice write. Enjoyed.
Homage to Patriots (Poetry) - 8/26/2004 12:11:21 AM
Your voice is loud,in the midst of the destruction your poetry
FREELY sings.
Your poem is powerful,that you wrote it shows me that you are certainly no traitor to self.Amidst the destruction,flowers grow.
Homage is what I save for the one who will never die.
Your poem is excellent.
Best wishes always

Abu-Hassan, this is outstanding verse that says so very much with few, well-chosen words. I applaud you for this poem and for your work as a social entrepreneur. May God bless you and the people of Sierra-Leone. Dawn

A Bootie Call at 12 AM (Poetry) - 8/22/2004 5:39:58 PM
This was an excellent composition of the force of emotion and the tangled yet viable web of want and desire. A very well written piece.

A Bootie Call at 12 AM (Poetry) - 8/22/2004 1:27:37 PM
"The Challenge of an Artist at 12: AM" is a profound composition poemized through a union of emotions, knowledge and art; and poetized with words from the lexicon of a heedful observer of life, and a soul guiding a wise heart that pumps wisdom and grace.
I salute You, Sublime Poet, Abu-Hassan Korona!
Never rest Your pen.
Healthy Long Life may You and Your House enjoy.
Most reverently,
Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU
