Hi Hawk, happy to see you've still got figurative language washing around in your brain... and I hope you're well, or at least well enough to be happy while providing us with interesting poetry. I...

Like it! After you've left, it will still be always be the spot where you sat. Makes me think about Whitman's crowds passing over the Brooklyn Bridge. You are the absence of all of us ... keep...

Hi Hawk, just poped by to read your latest. My favorite line:

When appetite drives
we dice with our lives,
of this you can be quite certain,
the gaining of weight
from clearing your plate...

it's really outstanding. I'm so happy i had a moment to visit. Looks like the writing here is just as fantastic as ever. Keep it up :)

Last night I dreamt I was hiking along a rocky mountain stream with Mom, Stepdad, and others. Rocks began flying towards us horizontally from up stream. They were like meteorites, but without a...

Thank you, thank you very much. And now, for my final number, at the height of my popularity, I would like to dedicate this just for you. And you know who you your are. I call it:

Song of...

That's right, and I've just spent the last month observing and demonstrating it. Glad you enjoy Carson McCullers.

Thanks for that, as I mentioned above:



so I really do appreciate critical feedback. Do you feel like the editing is an improvement or has made it worse?

And for the record, I was only...

thank you. I worked
hard for a many hours
reading, rereading,
studying,
and revising.

glad it
paid
off.

No way!

this is such
a great poem
who could imagine
that writing simple
sentimental sentences

broken with line breaks
and stanzas
could result in
a work of absolute genius

Great depiction of how we become attached to trees. By the end, I could feel a deep sorrow upon seeing it fall. Outstanding use of sound devices.

This spring, he still stood tall and proud....

I think that if you want to be published, reading and understanding contemporary poetry is important. I read a lot of modern poetry, but that's not written in the last 20 years. So I don't know the...

Well, nothing wring with this that a college level poetry writing course couldn't fix. As it stands, the first stanza is better than the second because it deals with concrete images that bring about...

ha! it's like the emperors new clothes. I get it!

it's so moving! This is sure to be a classic. I'm happy to have been able to read this before some fancy publishing company gets hold of it. Glad I was here and one of the first. Congratulations

Thanks, I love it. You seriously display poetry as an art. Thank you so much for letting us read your work!

it amazes me how you can write like this. phenomenally thought-provoking! An amazingly multi dimensional poem containing raw emotion that nearly all of us have felt, but so few can express. Thanks so...

waxing phylisophical again, PM, I go for existentialism. Nice thoughts, and well intentioned.

An amazingly multi dimensional poem.

Thanks for all the great input. I'm still continuing to work on this. I typically write in a narrative, story telling style and I'm trying to experiment with some new things. I don't know if it will...

Sorry, mate, she probably won't. I try to hide my interest in poetry when courting. Better just to throw some money around and take her somewhere trendy. Of course, I always end up with women I don't...

normally I would just fill in this box with generic laudatory comments when I read a poem like this one, and yet, the depth of its generics borders on masterful. Allow me to try and fill in some of...

you have captured the experience perfectly. Straight from the heart indeed - love the final pair of lines. Wonderful stuff. As soft and beautiful as ever. This is perfect and whole.

Nice title quote. I'm a Rothco fan too. Saw a couple of his works last summer at the High Museum in Atlanta.

So I found your poem and interesting read and worth a reread or two. I liked your use...
