Pray the Rain Never Ends (Book) - 12/6/2008 6:26:01 PM
evocative
This is a collection of Joel Andre's poetry. Usually I don't read poetry, but I bought this book at the same time I bought Joel's novel.
The poems are thought provoking. His subjects range from ravens to vampires. Some discuss dying; other discuss love and loss. A couple talk about "the Darkman". My favorite was "Bitter Honey" - it reached deep in me and pulled at my longings, then reminded me what it's all about. Well done!
In spite of a few spelling errors, the quality was good, the poetry was thought provoking, and I'll be sure to leaf through it again. I look forward to more works from Andre!

Who is it that watches us. I know of noone but God that does all that. Good thinking though for a poem while you were studying in college. Glad you took time out to write it.

Valentine's day coming up. Lot of roses given to lovers. My love did Aug 17 07 and I don't expect roses no more. He always gave me yellow roses my favorite on that day. Now I have the artificial ones he left with me to put in a vase on the table for decors for that day. Love still abounds in some way. May you find love eventually too in your young life.

The future as it will be and seem to me that is what we are coming to now. Hope to have peace eventually, but doubtful?

Joel,
I identify with this all too much. Though you say it much better than I, mine was personal. It's called "A Wife's Tears" and was about my daughter's husband who was shot down in a drive-by shooting.
When will the craziness end?

If I Never Meet You (Poetry) - 9/13/2008 12:21:55 PM
It seems crazy
Having strong feelings for someone
You’ve only met in your dreams
But fate has a way of doing things
That sends your mind into despair
OH I know what you are saying here ..believe me I know..
It is your Twin Flame you seek..and yes, you are one of many who seeks the same..
Blessings,
Vesna :)
PS ..I'm saving this ..it is wondrous in every way..thank you Joel..

Hello Joel,
You write of Pain so well it seems we could almost invite her in for tea. But honestly, it tore my heart apart as I read your poem of unrequited longing...very intensely written.
Cynthia
