I 'get' every word... call it revealing; cathartic; what you will, I call it a masterpiece. I am humbled, and thank you for sharing it. (you can never be too deep or too poetic --as long as you keep it real)
Thanksgiving (Over the River) (Poetry) - 2/4/2003 7:07:35 PM
Oh, how I can relate to the first stanzas... heh. Like my grandma ordering spagetti at McDonalds. The sentiment is sweet, and a bit sad, and the speaker has very good outlook on the whole idea of aging
Thanksgiving (Over the River) (Poetry) - 1/21/2003 11:10:40 PM
superb! So many mixed emotions of the demons of age and what it causes
Thanksgiving (Over the River) (Poetry) - 1/21/2003 10:04:17 PM
I think this poem is a little too deep for me. I don't "get" it. However, it might be because I didn't grow up with grandparents who were alive. I don't know this happy sorrow.

Straigt from the Id and walking the grid. Once I had a friend who lived the grind. Friend was strong but paid tlived in time. Bill SEE it makes me a little crazy.

Pieces of me have lived your words and so many of my thoughts seem to bear an uncanny resemblance to those you have portrayed. Sometimes I read poems while others it is the poem who reads me - and I suspect the latter is true in this case. Your ability to touch is clear. I am moved.

To quote Sexton 'I have been her [his/this] kind'. This is so good. Breath of fresh air (in an abstract way).
Dream in Red (Poetry) - 10/29/2002 3:22:50 AM

Oh my God! This is so very dramatic and excellent! Ty, Dani
Dream in Red (Poetry) - 10/28/2002 11:44:53 PM
This is the kind that haunts...intense, stark images of the events of our time...calling into question the society that spawns it, and those whose silence condones it...excellent write
Dream in Red (Poetry) - 10/28/2002 11:02:51 PM
Great surreal imagery. That's how life is -- it's never black and white.
Dream in Red (Poetry) - 10/28/2002 10:47:25 PM
Still trying to absorb all of this...
Powerful write...

The Strawberry Bush (Poetry) - 5/16/2002 10:13:17 AM

Ferlinghetti's Cold Spaghetti (Poetry) - 5/8/2002 5:00:01 PM
It is a classic, in my opinion, that translates my every frustration and the ordeals and idiosyncracies of life. The words are a song well sung to me.
Rebirth (Poetry) - 5/8/2002 8:40:40 AM
I enjoyed this read...Well done!
Fallen Behind a Head (Poetry) - 5/8/2002 6:54:16 AM

Postscript (Poetry) - 5/7/2002 2:53:37 AM
Beautiful. You have the soul and vision of a poet. It is so refreshing...I get so tired of the screaming angst I read on this site much, much too often, posted under the mistaken belief it is poetry. This however is a masterpiece. ~E
Roots (Poetry) - 5/7/2002 2:50:17 AM
Very wise for thirty years. Reflective piece full of lovely memories, and loss. Very good work you do. ~E

Must our history always threaten our foundation? With age, comes the knowledge of our frailty
Well done...I feel every word, Richard
Rebirth (Poetry) - 4/19/2002 2:49:36 PM
Very good write and my ex found religion too, or so he says. For me, I wanted him to while we were togetehr, not a chance. I don't trust this either and life has moved on for me and I am very happy. Well, mostly. ;)
