Re: The poem I tried to write

I am enjoying your work more Billy. I like this transient moment, I think you expressed it well. Sometime I think these are what life is about when we enjoy the moment above all else and have the time to ponder.

Re: Little Girl

Yes, spot on Michael, although I did intend to post it as a completed poem. Looking at it I am disappointed and I feel it comes across as trite. I failed to elicit the emotion that I had meant and it is but a pale shadow of what I had intended.

A Little Girl

A little girl ran hand in hand with her daddy She reminded me of shining ponds of ducks and fish and silly stories That pleased my child so The camera captured Her small arm hugging me across my vast shoulder Greeting her at the airport She instantly hopped to my knee like a sparrow I became her Opa...

Your words do not flow, it is a poem that is like coitus interuptus and we all know how painful that can be.

Re: Proximity (First poem posted here; new tot he site)

Well done, a nice little ditty , but more than that some lines have to be read again. The flow is good the thoughts expressed well, something most people can relate to. I would suggest stronger wording and deeper input. Do not be afraid to put down what you really mean, Is there a women in this, a g...

Re: The meaning of life

The meaning of life is a note or a tune; the unconscious tingle of hearts set to bloom. Your soul mate in life one body one soul; when life cannot part you even when old. Soaring in passions the zenith of self; glimpsing one's heaven to take back to earth. Aim higher still to transcend every feeling...

Re: Human Evolution

Its not really poetry is it Snic? Its a long ponder on life, but you don't really express a coherent thought or provide us with new insights to muse over. The language is mundane and some of it is pretty banal. I suppose this is why no one has bothered to write a review.

I can mean whatever you think it means. Thanks for input, there is a story there and I can see why it may sound ironic, there is a reason for morosely ponders.

Re: The Yard in May

You focus on flowers, all types, I get that. Try saying a little more than just a whole collection of names of flowers, I can identify though, the garden on a warm day with the flies buzzing and the smells of the garden floating around.

Re: Ocean

Rich in unnecessary metaphors that jangle like a cheap ride on a funfair. If you wish to be profound about the ocean and it power its ability to transform us into adoring worshipers of salt and sound, and waves that crash and break.. of depths beyond our ken may I suggest a simpler approach.

It made me think of a time I cried, not outwardly but inside. The pain of the parting grazed my heart like a knife I watched her fade away from me slowly noting my helplessness.
