To a Robin

2022-10-14
Thanks to arquious for alerting me to the "robinny" look of my vest!


Joy

2022-10-13
What a touching memoriam!


Valentine

2022-03-07
What a fine and witty verse! Like a courtly Elizabethan sonnet, the poem is less to glorify the lady than to display the poet's wit!


Kabul

2021-08-25
Masterful haiku!


ImyIwy

2021-08-15
What a little gem--a sparkling dew drop!


ME MATE COUNTED ME BOOKS

2021-08-13
Books still count--but for reading, not counting!


ten memorable moments, reviewed

2021-08-13
Talk about saving the best for last, eh?


Kejab

Yes. Do it!


THE LINCOLN BRIGADE (Work Completed)

Happy 16th wedding anniversery to myself and TomWood by Ann Wood

Such elegant sadness!


Remembrance Day, 2020

Somber, with words well played.


'TRUMPATON' TRUMP YOUR TIME IS UP (Work Completed)

2020-11-10
The fourth stanza provides a strikingly original, vivid, and memorable image!


Poe is Lost

2020-10-31
Great read, for one who gets hopelessly lost, and very quickly, in a corn maze. I can't force line 25 into the tetrameter; but what the heck. I enjoyed this!


Heart

2020-10-30
What a fine meditation! Line 30 i find especially memorable. I often wonder how much poetry, like comedy, is a desperate defense against depression.


commander in chief (haikus)

2020-10-30
Very successful attempts! Seasonal politically as well as calendrically.


Happy Halloween everyone by Ann Wood

2020-10-30
Halloween as an element of world culture?! An interesting and slightly spooky thought...


THATS THE RUB

2020-10-30
It would be consoling to believe there is a Grand Scheme in which the world's current fascist mood has its place.


A Near Fatal Disaster

2020-10-19
Gets to the essence of "catness"!


THE NEW ORDER IS DISORDER

2020-10-19
An order devoted to disorder: this nicely captures our plight...


leaves

2020-10-19
Let us all remain children--in some ways at least, certainly including autumnal joy in leaves!

Fine write, Peter!


LIVEING ON THE ISLE OF THANET KENT U K

2019-06-21
This brings the geography to life! I especially like the chocolate similes. Well done!


to be determined

2019-06-21
And now, day by day, we shall have less of day...


TWO BABYS BORN THIS DAY! (Addians)(Exstra Line)

2019-05-06
Quite a study in contrasts!


Bye

2019-05-06
Clever conclusion!


NEVER A DAY WITHOUT WIT! (A Work Completed)

2019-05-01
Well may we poets sing the praises of wit! If not we, then who?!


Miriam l... The Chosen

2019-04-19
Fine write, breathing new life into an old story!


UNFORGETTABLE! (ADDITIONAL STANZERS)

2019-04-15
Much food for thought in this one!


Words said Out Loud

2019-04-14
I read a remarkably clever ambiguity: which couple does the of latter half of this "sonnet" describe? Wonderful!


Bee lines

2019-02-13
Clone becomes drone, serving his queen: nicely wrought, Chris!


Whitney #2

2018-11-27
Sun/moon, heart/soul: well played, and oh so romantic.


Singing stillness

2018-11-27
"Boundless is the core": a brilliant close!


No Day Without You

2018-11-27
A pleasant surprise ending: I should have guessed it!


DEPRESSION - AND THE POET!

2018-11-27
All emotions are grist for the mill of poetry: good one!


Royal Free 2014

2018-11-27
Ups and downs: c'est la vie. Resignation, SO well expressed!


The Failure of Angels

2018-11-23
Music as our salvation: A most attractive fantasy, this!


Still

2018-11-23
Hauntingly romantic. If only others would feel as we want them too! Or maybe not...


Ancient Music

2018-11-23
Always a good laugh! Thanks!


THE KIDS OF FLORIDA!

2018-02-22
I like the "beat" of this march--and of this poem!


THEM! (A Responce Work) - ((Now With Adishannal Lines))

2018-01-29
A timely, much-needed scream! (I can't help but think of the 1950's sci-fi classic "Them!" about giant spiders.)


Walking the Dog

2018-01-04
For me at least, the astronomical details bring this to life.


The Kiss of Torment

2017-12-28
A sad but timely warning!


POETS AND POETRY!

2017-12-28
So the only way to go wrong writing a poem is not to write it, for fear of what others will think?! Intriguing!


The First Time

2017-12-28
Nobody but you could make it a pleasure to read about pounding a nail into one's finger bone!


Done, and Cannot be Undone

2017-12-10
"Recommends"?! Intriguing little poem.


Elements

2017-12-10
Nice to see a formal verse; well done!


JUST - WHY ONE DAY A YEAR?

2017-12-06
Indeed!


HOW FAR BACK ARE WE GOING TOO?!

2017-11-15
Our so-called president assures us that smart people pay no taxes. We pay only because we are stupid. What a sterling example! What a true patriot!


our nature

2017-11-11
By night, the splendors of love; by day, nothing clouds and crickets: I hate when that happens! And both happening to linger on the same chilly beach seemed so promising!


Chapter 17

2017-11-08
A most interesting perspective on perspective. The suggestion seems to be that at least for this woman, the self-critical faculty is winning out over vanity?
