Re: Popular Summer Cruises from $799.00
Bernie. I think your use of imagery here, and the motion in the poem (birds turning, shiip umbering, rippling thinderheads, etc) bring the poem to life, like a painting.
I like sultry wives *and they slways are * no matter.
Same with green breezes..
I csn see this, feel it. Nicely done

Re: Revisionist Lullaby For The Mad Girl
Thank you, Bernie. My wife suffered severe PTSD from multiple traumas. She did all she could.
After four years, Im just now able to write about it.
Im fine. I've made my peace

Re: Revisionist Lullaby For The Mad Girl
Gracy. The ending could be anyone
But it was someone close to N who
committed suicide. N wishes to have been able to prevent it. Sorry to be so blunt.No other way to explain though.

Notes From The Revolution
On the 100th Anniversary Eleven time zones in Russia, each with its own small sun. No one knows the hour of the day or recalls the time the last blood moon hung in the spires of St. Petersburg. To the east, washer women still rise up, set fire to kettle, boil their black babushkas, wring them to sti...

Bernie out of respect for you, I removed that line.
My memory " I am the oldest living person I know by first name." Its possible i picked it up unconsciously.

A pump in his pocket keeps him alive, bilge of old sea water from a dying planet. He drops a quarter in the meter each hour. They opened his chest once. The doctor didn't like what he saw, so he removed what mattered: a silver coin, old pocket watch, and a portrait of the Queen. Each was examined, p...

Re: The Sparrows Sing
Clever but not gimmicky. I enjoy poems that dont give it all away in the beginning. We know our pets are part human and they know we are part animal, and thus we bond.

Revisionist Lullaby For The Mad Girl
In which Van Gogh painting with razors, gives his ear to poor Ludwig, coatless and mad in the cold Vienna rain. MC Escher's hand drawing a hand drawing, completes the scherzo of Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" in triple meter time. The scissor-pincer hands of Dali's melting clock cuts off the tails...

Gracy I would never withdraw a poem on the basis of one critique. It's your poem.
