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
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review:
I do so love a romantic poem that touches on nature, the stars...my favorite and you finish the poem with the touch and embrace of the words of a lovers voice. So soothing are your words. I hope they are returned.
I wanted to come over and visit your port, after you were so kind with your review of my poetry. Oh isn't this the truth! I do know love that has lasted a lifetime. Love can come in so many different ways and directions in one's life. I keep reminding myself, that my flame isn't really out right now, it's just dimmed. Thank you for sharing and welcome to Writing.com
Now this is disturbing! It just goes to prove that we all walk the line between doing good and living with our evil twin brother. It would be nice to just get some redemption. I don't think I could go this far, but I won't lie and say it hasn't filled my wicked thoughts before. I believe you can keep writing from the dark side, it is powerful. Just balance it with some balloons and you will be fine!
Again, Thank you for bidding on my auction package. I will be back!
Write on!

Thank you for bidding on my package and allowing me to give you a poetry review. Really, it is my honor to read your words. What is so amazing about this poem, is that I can feel the emotional pull of death and life. It reflects my feelings today. It is a constant balance between understanding why God takes away a loved one and leaves another soul in it's absense. I do believe in guardian angels.
Thank you for sharing your story in poetry, how awesome for your friend that you could reflect her feelings. I love that!
Dang, I wish this would have made the contest limits. You have a real winner with this story!! I love the idea of having a famous Queen and her Leprechanun husband! What a clever twist for the use of the car. You have a great imagination and an easy short story style. Thank you so much for adding this to our contest.
1. Follow the prompt. I like how the Hand represents a business and what it means about destiny. Nice touch.
2. Easy to Read. I did enjoy the story, but lost a little at the part where Aron is fired and then she wants him back for the meeting. That part kind of confused me.
3. Errors/grammar. I am not an editor, so for me to find mistakes, they must really stand out. I only have an suggestion, I think this would read better, but it is up to you to make the corrections if you like. The line that this is office, would sound better if you wrote this is business, and to delete the word just in that line and add also that she is the president of the company. I think it might flow better. Other wise, I liked what you had.
Good luck in the contest.

Wow! We are under attack and no amount of praying is going to keep the evil out. It is the life of a soidier. Your writing speaks a truth that is hard and reality biten. It is never easy to step into those shoes and see that kind of painful reality. It is why I sleep peacefully at night because other's have chosen not too. Thank you so much for a wonderful poem. Write on!!
Okay, this is deep and dark. I love it. Your fears are real when touched by the image. I love the voices and the way you descend into the nightmare of the book. It's true that evil can strike at any time of weakness. I am amazed again Ken, at your ability to write such a variety of poetry, that all speaks to the human heart. You are my hero and I would rescue you...If only to keep you writing poetry forever. Thank you for sharing your poems with me. I love it when you win my packages!!
Wow! All I keep thinking is about honey! I wonder why! Your imagery, the description does bring warmth and tenderness and a fond memory. Thankful that spring is here and perhaps the blossoming of more tender moments shared. Wonderful!!
Tiny peaks of Terror? Oh my gosh, you make me laugh out loud!! I was thinking of that one short story you wrote for the paper gang, you really are freaked out by birds...huh? Do we need to talk? Thank you for sharing your pain. I say, you need to get someone else to do your shopping for you.
I hope you enjoyed the shower!
Oh nothing beats the love of a dog and no one should get in between that kind of attention and admiration. Once again you make me think, laugh and enjoy reading your poetry. I think it's time for a new pet? LOL
Thank you for bidding on my package, I am going to honor Showering Acts of Joy with your reviews, I hope you don't mind. It's kind of fun to share some bubbles with you.
I can so relate to the twist and turns of your words. I love the laughing and screaming at the same time. Only someone that can do both really understands how real that painful feeling can be, and what is so odd is that sometimes it feels good and other times it is the worse feeling in the world. That complete upside down feeling of never knowing which one is going to be real. Life will always be interesting for a bipolar mind. Stay well.
I wish everyone could take care of their animals like that! See what a little love and attention can do? It makes you wonder just what the spirit of the cat must be feeling and how poor her treatment was before she found a safe and healthy home. Keep sharing the love! Even ratty cats need love!
Thank you for opening up your port and creative mind to this fun raffle with a twist. You are so right, the groups on this site ROCK! Too many to think about. I hope you have a very successful raffle and every one benefits!!
I love a poem that can touch the heart and that is sweet to think about. I like knowing that someone out in the night has a warm memory to keep with them. Loved the description of his blue eyes the same color of the sea. I only have one very real problem with this poem and it's your i. I is a proper noun and should always be captialized. If you did that to this poem, you would have a 5 star poem for sure. Every grammer book I have ever read tells me that i by itself is not a word. Thank you for sharing your poetry and I hope you keep writing and sharing your dreams.
I have such respect for all our Soldiers!! I don't know if every Soldier is a good person, but the minute they put that uniform on and face the choice they have made. I know in my heart that person is special. They have something that is not like everyone else. They give something that I never could. I did find the middle stanza hard to read, but I did read it over again and that helped. It's not as smooth as the first two stanza's but still it works and thank you for sharing and Welcome to Writing.com
What a cool and kinda funny template. I use a few templates but only when I want to impress, for the most part I have this really horrible habit of just saying whatever comes to mind when I read something. I know it's silly, but hey it works for me. Not everyone can get away with my creative charm. LOL Hope you have a wonderful day and congrats on winning the Newbie Challenge.
What a great user name! I am not one of the judges from Pat's contest, but I am finding these essays are so fun to read. It's interesting how a little play and creativity can come alive on the Internet. Good thing you have a sense of humor and that trampoline training!! Ican see you are using your talents wisely!!
Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: So he died for his crime and she died of a broken heart? Oh how sad! I like this sea chanty. I am always in awe of a pirates life and how they can be in love with the sea. It has to hold some kind of magic, that it could replace the love of a human. Interesting!!
Thanks for sharing and welcome to Writing.com

Thank you for allowing me to give you a Simply Positive review: How awesome that Sapph wrote this poem for you and it was Highlighted. It gives everyone the chance to see you as the Star you really are. Sweet and kind to all. A purple we can all look up too! Perfect!!
You Dad was very wise! A hurt foot is nothing compared to the loss of you! What your family says is very hurtful and wrong. It is sad to think of anyone talking to someone in that kind of harsh and meanful way. But in many ways I can tell it makes you smarter and you work harder. You don't let it get you down. You have grown from it. My life has been blessed by calling you friend! I am honored that you share so much and you are a wonderful and creative soul. You have enriched my life and many others! Never deny your gift again. I hope your Birthday celebration "Come celebrate with me!" becomes a big hit on this site and eveyone joins in the celebration!! Thanks sweetie for being here!
What I wish with all my soul is that I could feel this way again. It get it. I love it and only wish that life and my own mistrust hadn't taken away my fairytale. I am still with him. I still love my friend but the magic is sorely missing. I only have one suggestion and really it;s just my personal beef, but I love to see the letter i, capitalizated. In my grammar book it states that you should always capitalize the pronoun I. I think it would make this appear a stronger piece. Thank you for sharing.
I found this highlighted and I loved the title.. You say this is just a draft but your writing seems very clear to me. I don't know what kind of direction you are taking, but it is interesting. I l ike the way it is jumbled in places, it's like the reader and writer are trying to figure it out together. You bring the writer into the story and that is cool. I say keep writing and let's figure out Benjamin at the end of the story. I never know what is fiction and what is fantasy, but you have something great here.
The world of darkness! I don't think you can be a creative soul if you haven't spent some time in this place! I am not giving this a 5 star because this is the best writing I have ever read. I am giving this the 5 stars because it is honest. Reality can be a dark place to escape too and if you haven't felt a real depression you wouldn't believe this place is real.Oh but it is! I only have a few suggestions if you want to make this a stronger piece of writing. Personally, I am a snob when it comes to the letter i. When talking about yourself, always Cap the I. It reads and looks better. Also the word alot is two words, a lot. I'm not an editor and that is the extent of my knowledge. LOL Hope you are doing well!
