To free my soul
I found a friend,
Peggy my sister
to write a poem,

playmates running
through the woods
on Hatchett Creek Hill
in the magical woods,

that remain with me still
the best times of my life
on the sreets made of straw
where guardian angels are near.

My thanks to you in a poem, from your sisters poem.

On a day long ago
I saw a girl
ten years old,

Kay
was her name
with a smile,

to hold my hand
in the little church
where we lived,

down the lane
by the bay
to swim all day.

Then one day
she ran away
so far away,

but today
I met her again
In a note,

that she wrote
to say
let's go to church again.

My sincere thanks to you in a poem, for your understaning of a difficult time in my life.

embe, in appreciation.

Hello Khalish.

I have read with interest, your comments, that some of your poems have not received reviews or ratings.

My understanding is that others, like myself ,are intimidated with your excellent knowledge of writing, that we cannot aspire to and therefore shy away from trying to compete with you.

Your kind and informative review of my poem, has made me realize that I am wrong
in this assumption.

"The Cause of Ruin" is a lovely poem and I thank you for sharing it.

Hello Shari.

This is a great short story ,written in a style to keep one guessing,right to the end
where the red faces slowly turn away to shame for judging the book by it's cover.

My thanks to you, for your kind review of my poem.

O how lovely a dedication
to Pumpkin -
Your dear orange cat,

who sat on your lap
to the tick of the clock
for a stroke of your hand,

so soft in the night
to dream of the stars
that will shine in her eyes,

to remember the days
when she was a kitten
to purr in your lap.

Dear Dorianne,
my thanks to you in a poem
for your kind review.

Review of Why ?  
Review by embe
Rated: E | (5.0)
Why so many questions
do we ask of life

when peace and joy
will not abide

with unbearable burdens
to carry within our hearts

the pages to write
where is our heaven?

The home with no tears
and joy to reside

with God close by
in his perfect world.

My thanks to you in a poem, for your kindness and inspiring reviews.

May God bless you.

O to be Cathrerine
searching the blue sea
to see, fifty years passed,

with Joe in her arms
and love in his eyes
on their honeymoon,

but no to reality
with tears in her eyes
to open, Joe's gone

away into the sea
to wait for her
on their anniversary.

My review in a poem, for you to find happiness in your dreams.

To Kl,

Who adores to write
with a pen in hand

for a shadow to follow
in tears and fears

for the dark in the hall
turning to the light

to see a silhouette
looking into the night

for a movement
laying on the table,

"A war of shadows."

My review in a poem for you.

Review of The Flower Girl

Rated: ASR | (5.0)
HI and please understand that I am slightly intimidated with being a buddy reviewer for a professional like you.

Firstly, my deep appreciation for your kind and clear reviews, of my poems that will futher inspire me to improve,

This is my first attempt at a short story, so here it is.

My first thoughts while reading your captivating account of the florists delema, was that you were in fact telling a story about yourself, which is why it is a five star story for me.

Two comments are as follows:-

Kenny were just --Perhaps [ Kenny was just ]

you do really beautiful work --Perhaps [ youre work is very beautiful ]

In kindness,

O to be a pressed flower
in a book of poems

a fragrant skeleton of time
meticulously preserved

a blurred featureless form
appearing in motionless time

a painted hue in proportion
to dwell in deceptive time

a past left behind
so unkind for a flower.

My thanks to you in a poem, for your incisive review and suggestions.

How brave can a child of twelve be, when confronted with the choice to run away ,or stay and shoot the abusive father, that beat her mother like the coward that he is, too afraid to stand up and say -Yes I am a bastard and need to run away and leave you to build a new future with a kind man that will love you and your daughter, to live without fear and grow old together.

Krisi, I laud you for your courage to write this.

My thanks for the wonderful news -The Awardicon and Gps.

Your picture in a poem
with words from the heart
to swirl within a soul
a masterpiece,

to paint a poem
a vivid bolting light
in a thousand words
the eyes to see,

to blend the fibre
with a writing staff
for all to see
the poet that you are.

My thanks to you, in a poem.
for your review and Gps.

O to remember the day
your beautiful child was born,

to shine in your life
a moment never forgotten

the apple of your eye
with everyone around you,

to wonder why
God is so gracious

in his love for us
to be his family forever.

Review of Demonocracy  
Review by embe
Rated: E | (4.5)
Dear Brave Shanoma.

Not afraid to expose
the evils of the day
in a positive poem
that all may read
to understand
the fight for freedom.

Herewith, my poem
on the evils of a mad man
ruling a country without democracy.


Awake, awake the drums are beating
people in the streets of Zimbabwe-
Nine million zim dollar to buy
a yankee dollar in time
to buy a loaf of bread
to feed a family of five
to wonder why
they must die,
by order of
a mad dictator,
with force to vote
or see the whips
lashing upon their backs
to beat them black and blue
that they may fall down to wonder
how can it be possible in this day and age
to live in a land without a democracy for it’s people.

My thanks to you for your review.

Review of Written For Me  
Review by embe
Rated: E | (4.5)
Kristi in the corner
with eyes staring
at the shadows
passing by her,

to the inner light
trapped in a silhouette
to follow her
and hold her tight,

as she stumbles to run
to the echo in the hall
gliding along the wall
to the door so far,

from the writing table
to find a pen
and write a page,
the shadow in her hand.

Dedicated to Kristilove in thanks for the review and Gps.

Hello Jeanne Sparks-Carreker,
to dream I have a dream
to see me and my kin
converted to love and hold
and grow old with others
of color not like mine
but inside the same.

Why. why o why
should I be denied
to mix and play
with those who
love me as I am
a Christian child
loved by God.

My review in a poem for a brave stance by you.

The child a man
his head to rest
upon a shoulder,

the eyes to see
the monster in him,

now new born
a soul satisfied
to draw me near,

the endless pain
down the road.

O to grope along the slippery path
searching for my way home,

somewhere up ahead
for daddy waiting there,

to know I can go on
and hold his hand.

But then he disappears
for me to follow,

his voice so clear
to bring me near,

the path I know
soon we will be home.

My thanks to you in a poem, for this lovely inspiring story.

I remember the silence
and the blank stare
of my daughter-Tracy,

lying in bed
not knowing
i'm worried,

but insensitive
to her weeping there-
not knowing how to say,

Dad, you will never know
how this silence
is destroying me,

and I cannot understand
the reason why
I am this way.

Yes! Dear Warrior Mom,
I do have sympathy for you.

Thanks for speaking out on a difficult subject, that is hard for others to understand.

Your kind reviews are so appreciated, coming from a proffesional like you.

O to know the Brandiwyn
to love her man
whose crafted words
do lay him bare

with pleading prayer
to kiss a soft embrace
her face so fair
lying waiting there

so cold alone
in nights air
for passion burn
to ne'er be mine.

My tribute to you in poem form, for your lovely well written poem, that will inspire others to write the way you do.

Review of I Cry Silently  
Review by embe
Rated: E | (5.0)
HI the Angel that would think of me
to write a poem about my misery
when I was young and afraid
not knowing why or what I did
to deserve the horrors, not yet
forgotten in my nightly dreams.

I have heard more that a hundred
"I am so sorry, Son,"
but the next blow
takes all the sorry's away
to another day
where he waits again.

Perhaps you will read my latest poem -
"Therfore I Cry."

This was my life that I try to forget.

O to dream
to be a pirate
with a lovely
Lady

that takes
my breath away
for another day
in May
where we lay
safely.

There
on the cliff
by the rocky lighthouse
dreaming the night
away

For me
to propose to her
and marry her in May
today.

My thanks to you, for your kind review.
Bless you.

To the archer
with vision strong

to hold the bow
the arrow straight

a squint to sight
the paper thin

blue and white
of centre soft

the hit so slow
now the silence

to stand
the champion.

Thanks for the well structured, informative poem of an Archer, that I enjoyed reading.
