You have to live out west to know this kind of cowboy! I am so jealous. It's an amazingly hard lifestyle and amazing poem that brings visions of dusty trails and hard labor and a life well lived. A spirit that wants to capture the wind and a feeling like we can go on forever. If only...I like the flow and vision of poetry that can be written like a story. You have so many things going on. I like that. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: Okay, I don't know if your a superhero or what, but what I do know is that your work here is not done. I have to know just what the heck happened and why? I am not so sure I like science fiction!Plus, with the state of confusion I was so sure this was about depression starting out. Interesting twist. Hey are you from England? Did you know in America we spell realized with a z but in England they spell it with an s? It caught me off quard a few times. Silly words.
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: Oh I so remember this from Mark! It was a fun little auction/game and I liked meeting new people and getting an idea of who was behind the pen name. Interesting life their and I love the idea of living so many places and having so much to write about and experience. Never stop doing what you love and are so good at! Writing!!!
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: What did he do? My first question was what did she do? LOL...I liked that you caught my attention and that simple things can be so taken out of context. This had it all. Great set up and ending!
This is the poem I want to award. I want this poem highlighted. It has a message here that is so rare and pure with love for humanity. To see such simple thoughts and what can happen on different sides of towns. In every single town and place in the world we have this kind of conflict. This is heartbreakingly real to me. I admire your strenght and vision in poetry and for sharing such brave thoughts. Truly inspiring!
I am impressed with all your poetry but this one is WOW!
** Image ID #1659310 Unavailable ** Thank you so much for bidding on my package and winning. I always enjoy your poetry.
Okay, so I shouldn't be laughing but really....Do you even think woodpecker's have lips? I lost a huge tree a couple years ago and everyone thought I was crazy because I was sad. It is sad to lose a part of our yard. To see nature brought down to her knees. It reminds us that nothing is forever and we don't like that kind of reminder. Nature must be cared for just like all kinds of life. I am liking the trend of your writing and the deep and personal message I am getting from your wise and wonderful words. Your poetry paints vivid pictures in my mind and soul. Thank you!

It is indeed a proud moment for the poets soul, the lovers soul and a momma and pappa's soul. To see something so little grow is one miracle after another. I liked your opening stanza of having to complete the process serveral times to get it right! What amazing creatures we are. So complex and simple at the same time. Life is a gift of beauty and love...Not to mention a whole lot of science! LOL
Don't you think they should know how to stop this? It sems so insane that it can keep pumping so much oil out and they haven't found a way to collect it? It blows the mind. We can send someone to space but not shut off a natural gas line? It's so sad what is happening. It breaks my faith all the time. Sad, honest and another real poem. Your words touch deep.
I wanted to start my journey here and I am glad I did. I knew this was going to be beautiful and brutal to read. It was almost 70 years ago, well shy by a few but still. It's like the echo is still ringing true. To lose so many young and still make the impact of freedom. It's an amazing accomplishment and defeat. What a moment to share with a father. What an honor to call him DAD! I love this and can offer no suggestions for improvement. Priceless.
I tell ya, I can so relate! Love has been kicking my butt my whole life too and I Love and adore LOVE! I need it like some kind of sick puppy! It captures my attention and my dreams. It colors my world and yet it can be so darn painful. Why is that? Why does all the best stuff come with the bad stuff too? Balance my dear...I am still trying! I shall never give up on Love! EVER!!
What a beautiful Child! It's amazing to me how our kids can communicate right to our soul. We give everything we can to make them whole but God is really in charge and everyone tells me I only get what I can handle, so God has must a lot of faith in you to do what is right for your beauitul child. Trust your gut always!!
I love a poem that can make me laugh out loud! I do hope you have friends that can kick you into movement. It's not always easy to get out of stubborn grove. I would so love to give this a 5 star but I refuse when I see the grammar mistake of your little i. It drives me crazy. Improve that lazy i and you can get 5 stars forever!
I have been on a ship like that once before. I am still a captive to my fairytale endings and make belief romantic fantasy. I started to believe that was bad, but it's not. It's awesome and makes me so open to new things and feelings. It's why I write and why I love. Your power is there and it's not hiding and you are not that little child anymore. YOU are grown up and LOVED.
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: Deep personal writing from the heart is an art as well as a gift. Some can craft it, but I really do feel like some get this easier than others. Great article and Thank you very much for sharing your heart talent.
Only some one that has truly experienced a deep depression can understand the complete numbness of living. Of hiding in the mind and forget all about logical thought. I have been here and I understand. I have been forever changed from my deep depression. I am in a low place now but nothing compared to what happened when I went so deep. It's amazing to live again. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review:
Okay that was totally gross, interesting but gross and sick and now I so understand why you call yourself scary guy...Are you part pig or something? I almost thought he was going to wake up from a bad dream, I didn't expect him to get hooked. Yuck. Now, I am hungry!
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: Right outside my window I hear the birds playing and the only thing that is missing where I live is Mountains. Other wise your words sing right to my heart and eyes. I love poetry that I can see and feel. Great job and I'm so happy you were highlighted this week with Simply Positive. I would have hated to miss this.
Thank you for always finding a way into my soul with your poetry. I love that I found this. It's not easy to spy something in your port I haven't already read. I am a huge fan of yours!!
Still this brings me even closer to that romantic heart that I know you have. I love the lingering feelings and the way this is so smooth and easy to read and relate too. Emotional and deep but also simple and wonderful. The full package in a bite size piece. Yummy!
Oh this just leaves such an empty hollow pain. It reads like something of a novel. The lifetime between the wedding day and then what is left after he is gone. We can blink our eyes and feel everything that happened between the beginning and end. I love this kind of visual and romantic poetry. Great job and Thanks again for all your wonderful reviews!!
I admire the histroy lesson of your poem. The way the world has changed and also stayed the same. It is people that can make all the difference in what we do and how we behave. I do agree that the power of faith is understanding that God/Life connection. Prayer is a nice reminder to stay connected. Thanks for sharing that and I enjoyed your writing.
Oh I was just talking to someone recently about Adam & Eve. He wondered if Eve was better than Adam and that is why the apple was offered to her first. I don't know...He was trying to sell me something. Anyway, you go around this being as a creature, but what creature...God and are you afraid to say that? You know if you can name the devil why not name God? I just wondered about that. Plus, we all know Sex sells...No matter what you are trying to say. I get that loud and clear and I don't believe we are flawed at all. I think this is Gods perfect plan. Just my opinion on the subject. Interesting poem and keep sharing. I like what you have to say.
Write on & Welcome to WDC!

I get so many mixed emotions reading this. First I think of a young man his time gone too fast from dying while serving his country. Then I see a woman that is not able to tell someone how much she is in love with them, as if her words had to die as well. It also reminds me of all the lonely people that die everyday by not being noticed. I don't know why these three messages hit me so hard. I love strong imagery in poetry. I like having this kind of reaction and I am glad I found this. Keep sharing your words!
Who doesn't like getting a package in the mail? I know the only thing that ever arrives at my house are my college books so it would be great to get something a little more creative! I admire the work that ROAK and Angel Army do for the Writiers of WDC! I know I am around because of their generousity. Thanks for sharing your open heart and for posting this on the Acitivities page! Great idea!
You Rock! Girls hold so much power but for years we have been told that was never "as good" as the boys! Oh we couldn't be closer if we tried. I also have a problem with the statement that "boys are just boys" I used to get that excuse for the boys in my girls classroom and I hated it. It was an excuse to let them fight and misbehave. Boys might be boys and girls might be girls but each person needs to be respected as an individual. So Thank you for showing your power with your words. Great job!
You know you rock with giving reviews and I just wanted to return to you what you give back to writing.com.
This is my favorite kind of poetry. It speaks to my heart. It reminds me that love is forever. Long after we leave, you don't say why they have departed but I am thinking death as you are only left with mist. Still however and why is not important....it is the message of eternal love that rings true in your words. Pure beauty. Thank you for sharing!!
