Well, you captured my attention right before bed! YIKES! Not only do you capture my attention but draw me into a place I don't normally like to think about. Nuclear power, weapons, destruction, death and the like. Jeez, you nailed the entire event in less then how many seconds? Great JOB!! I totally enjoyed this, even if I didn't want too!
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: This so totally rocks. You know why? Well, first I love Blue Birds. Secondly your imagination of taking on the bird and bringing him into the humans life and being there at a time of death, when you couldn't be more needed. The creative energy in your words just touched my heart. Thank you for sharing!! I am so glad Simply Positive highlighted this poem, I would have hated to miss this beautiful poem.
I think I might be slightly confused by this...But are you happy? I mean this sounds so doom and gloom and yet, it also speaks of eternal love, the kind that really can't end even after death, so what gives? Is it about living or death? Is it about a love that realy can't end? Do they even make that kind of love? I wonder? Your words echo deep but hollow for me, I am not connected and it most likely is my perception of your words. Poetry the forever subjective dance of words.
What I love best about poetry is when you can read hope and power in the words. You can feel the pain but also your strength from it. I admire that kind of poetry and life. I am so happy that the hardest part is behind you know. I am sure that you still struggle, we all do! I just want you to know I admire you! Keep sharing your words.
What an incredibly sad poem. I am sure so many can relate to this kind of mental and physical abuse. It happens far too often and the victim becomes lost in the recovery of it. Time can heal most pains, but the scars will always remain. Thank you for sharing. This was very well written and I have no suggestions to make it better. Great job!
I loved the title of your poem. I had to read it. I agree, we do tend to expect too much from beauty and dismiss the beast we are becoming. It's a true balancing act to know which one to believe in anymore. I still fight my own beast inside. I am working on my beauty as well. Fight I can do! Thanks for sharing and welcome to WDC.

What a bummer that some kids can't get away from their MOMS! Even in imagination play, we are the echo of sound judgment. This made me laugh out loud. Plus, I can't believe I haven't read this. Seems like your port is one of my favorite places to hang out. Happy to see Simply Positive highlight this! YOU rock!! Now get out and play!!
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: My yard is a colorful explosion right now. Your words are ringing true in my minds eye. Something magical and colorful and fresh about spring. It might bring pollen and bees but flowers rule!! Thanks for sharing!! I am so happy SP highlighted this. Perfect timing!

Music makes me cry too! I can so relate to your words. I feel when listening to all kinds of music it can go places, words cannot. It is an incredible feeling to be so in touch with your senses. Thanks for sharing!!
It's so important to write about these emotional moments. They keep the feelings from boiling over and becoming too much to handle. Watching a family member towards the end of life is so dramatic. Everything is so important. I am not an editor so it's not right for me to edit this piece of writing. I do see some grammar errors and with some re-writing and editing you will find them. I say Bravo for getting this out and hopefully you will write more about your family. Life is interesting anyway you look at it.
I think the first romance is one of the best memories. I only hope that each new relationship brings you closer to the real one you need. I think this needs a serious re-read. You have a few misspellings. Like realise is realize. etc. I am not an editor, but a look over would make this better. Keep sharing your love!
Welcome and Write on!

Oh that "something" is in all of us. It' s about being able to control it and understanding that dark power that can drive us crazy!! I really like the flow and direction of your words, building with the emotions and realization of that inner power. I can only hope you realize you are more then any emotion and not hollow at all!! Welcome to Writing.com
Oh man I love this kind of poetry! The set up and emotional balance of dreaming and ghosts dancing. I can actually see the event taking place and feel the emotions as he walks home alone to wait another year. I believe this is real and your words are haunting. I love that! Thank you so much for sharing your talent. Keep writing!
Oh what pale eyes to keep you hanging on! I love the last line, it says everything about your feelings. So sad. I don't know if this is about someone dying or just leaving the relationship, but either way it is very powerful. My favorite kind of poetry. Thanks for sharing!
What a valueable lesson you taught your daughter! I also experienced this kind of body crushing illness a couple years ago. You are so right, how it affects the kids. It takes a little time to get back what was lost in those moments. Still, it just goes to prove that kids are resilant and will use what they can to understand. I am so glad you are on the road to recovery. May you always stay well! Thanks for sharing with all of us.

Please take me with you! Oh I miss those days when the kids were small enough that I could just pack them in the car and go! Now it seems that everything has to be planned out. Nothing beats a long car ride filled with beautiful scenery. Thanks for taking me along and I didn't even get car sickness! LOL
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: Autumn seems so far away, but with your words I can feel the chill and see the change of colors right in front of my eyes. Wow, I love imagery in poetry. Great job!
Breathe to my soul is a great poem of inspiration and emotion. I like the word choices and the flow. I love that longing feeling of before I say goodbye, touch me...so I don't have too. I so get that connection and empty feeling. I only have one suggestion. Check your spelling...Wich is which. experience...etc...
This is my favorite kind of poem. It speaks of the heart, the relationship and the true beauty of love. It can be so painful and messy and wonderful. I espeacially love the last line. We only fell apart. Man, I can so relate to this. I want so much to give this a 5 star, but I have a personal beef with the little i. It needs to be captialized. Otherwise this would be just perfect! Thanks for sharing and keep on loving!
It is very hard to read this kind of rant and know what kind of feedback to leave. I don't think your looking for a grammar lesson. I don't think you need someone to tell you it's going to be okay. I just wonder Who April is and if you really know what you are getting into. I really like the emotional tone here. I love the strip of stars and the phone cord. You have some great imagery at play here. I do think you love her, but maybe not...it's confusing but isn't love great that way!
Your letter cuts right to my heart. I am so sorry for the trouble you have had to endure in the name of helping your/our country. It sucks to be put on such a defensive line. To have to play by the rules but they don't provide enough support when you really need it. What an eye opening letter this is! I suppose the good news here is that many VA hospitals are awesome. You will always have my respect. I think you rock! Good luck with the wife and baby, just take it one day at a time. Thank you for your service!

Writing is a gift. Some can write easy and some can write with determination. I like blog writing if it is easy and comes from the cuff. I hope you enjoy writing here and sharing your new writing tools. We can all learn from each other. I alway believe that hope is what keeps all writers writing...The hope that the words will make sense. Plus, I can stop listening to so many voices in my head! Welcome to WDC!
This is every woman's fear! Not just for our husbands that go to war but for our sons!! You do bring the story alive in the grief and the poppy. It makes me think of my mother for some reason. She had a special place in her garden and heart for poppy's. Wonderful imagery and emotion. My favorite items in poetry. Thank you for Whome for gifting you my reviews.
What a great way to highlight the Rising Star's! It makes me even more jealous that I was never a rising star, only a lucky sponsor. It's such an honor to be part of this group and it the writer's that make it so unique and special. Your poem highlights so many truths of the program and writing in general. I love it!! Thank you so much!!
What an awesome idea for a poem! I love it. I love the image of his body curled up, I like the idea of the words trapped inside. It so interesting to think about! I am not morbid, but I liked it. I keep writing my poetry now, so that I don't feel trapped by my emotions. I hope when my time comes, I am done completely with no unfinished business. Thanks for sharing and 1981 wasn't really all that long ago....was it? LOL
