The song of rain. Can be heard in hearts as well like you have hinted here. Great write.

2006-05-22
I am out of here. My poetry is no longer safe when we have admitted plagiarists amongst us. I will start archiving then deleting.

I cannot even imagine any of the 50 + countries in the continent of Afica ever co-existing in peace. Probably due to the political instability of the governments, and the radical interpritations of religion. Very powerful write my friend.

2006-05-16
Beautiful my friend beautiful. You inspire me as well.

2006-05-15
Wow. Another powerful and great write my friend. No wonder Onyeka produced such a powerful write very inspiring.

2006-05-15
Another great write my friend. Like the new picture as well. Gives us so far away a glimpse of the passion you have for poetry. Can only imagine the power behind your readings in public.

2006-05-14
Yet another powerful write. You say so much with so little.

2006-05-14
How true. How very true that is. Great write.

2006-05-12
This is really good. Apart from ununited, which I understand just do not have a replacement word for it's a great write.

2006-05-12
I have tried some lullabyes and poems of this nature. Not even close to this.

2006-05-12
Beautiful and powerful write.

2006-05-09
Very beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman from another beautiful woman. Incidentally I am seeing your souls at this time and it is bright and shiny here.

2006-05-06
Very beautiful. I see more religious and personal material from you so it kind of stunned me at first. Glad I came back it keeps getting better each read. As for the rules on form, I am an " ink stained babarian " standing outside the gates of poetry. To me though it is a great write.

2006-05-06
This is good but I am trying to understand crackled. Like cracks in the surface ? I can see the images you paint out. I used to have to deal with Minnesota winters.

2006-05-05
Very good. The rhyming of piano and closed could have been tighter with pianos. It works as it is a great write, lots of imagry.

2006-05-05
Very powerful writing my friend. Can only imagine the canvas of the mind painting the pictures you see daily where you are at.

2006-05-05
Powerful. Cannot tell who entered what line where, or how it is divided in contribution. Which tells me it is genuinely one of the best poems ever. It is as if you are both in harmony and writing with one hand and two brilliant minds. Awesome.

2006-05-04
Sometimes they are burning and saying their opposition threw the matches in their hands. Great write, and very true.

2006-05-04
How
very
true. Great write.

2006-05-04
Is this the same mustard as in seeds ? It is indeed horrible what passes for civilization on this planet. No one should have to live in war zones. No ideal whether it is political or religious is worth any life lost. Sorry that Kashmir is stained by the crimson of the innocent, and hope it can be the paradise that it was again.

2006-05-03
Now that is just brilliant, beautiful, powerful, and very true. Great write and insight as well as courage to say it.

2006-05-03
In my part of the hemispere we are going into summer where you will go into winter. Belive me where I live we get green Decembers and snowstorms in April. I like this, it's a fun piece. Maybe sometime in the future you can add to it or take it in another directio. It's good the way it is, but like mine it sometimes needs a good tweaking to tighten it up.

2006-05-03
Very nice. What happened to the pic of the hot chick ? Great write.

2006-05-02
Apart from Emo being a town in Ireland, as well as Canada is it the new slng for emo-tional ? Just curious. When it is finished post it again and I will be happy to give my comments on it then ok.

2006-05-02
I just ignore it and it gets real tired of me fast. Or else I let the voices talk to it then it can't get out of my body fast enough...lol Get better soon.

2006-05-01
This is good. I like the Minimalism of Haikus saying volumes like they do.

2006-05-01
Ahh the repitition really sings in this one. A dark and scary but beautiful symbolist song.

Welcome to the bay. Keep writing, and never be afraid to learn all that you can from what you see here. I know I do. Some of the contributors here blow me away even on their weakest efforts. You will see lots of styles and schools of poetry as well I keep going in and out of them myself. Again hello and have fun.

2006-04-29
I get dizzy looking at this...lol. Fun write. Glad I have only had a tiny sample of flu this year.

2006-04-29
Have been honing my speed in writing. Has helped me visulaize poems and more complexity than I thought possible. This is a good poem, very emotional and yet solid.

2006-04-29
No two snowflakes are alike as the same memories. Especially ones that melt them. Beautiful write.

2006-04-28
My all time favorite villian from Superman is the original Brainiac. How could you not be evil wearing a pink shirt and black hot pants. This is good. I am more of a Green Lantern guy than anything else.

2006-04-28
Great write friend.

2006-04-28
That's like Alice In Wonderland...written after an opium trip. Great write.

2006-04-28
WOW. Powerful powerful write.

2006-04-27
Very beautiful.

2006-04-27
Even in your darkest writings you can still bring light of daytime. Sometimes when I look into the tunnel all I see is a light from a freight train. Geat write.

2006-04-27
I commend you for being what I could never be. I can accept all and I can accept none. I have had to personally accept none, more often this has made me more bitter, sarcastic, cynical, and angry. I do have my moments when I can rise above that, but not as often as I wish. I love the strength in which you can soar with optimism, ambition, and hope when there are times that I feel I am being dragged down. It helps me considerably thank you.

2006-04-26
Can only get a chilling hint, and that hint is delivered like a jackhammer against our concrete complacency we have away from places like your's. I cannot even image the chaos and the carnage that you have to face daily. Powerful, powerful write.

2006-04-26
Very good and very mezmerising in it's rhthym.

2006-04-25
Awesome great write my friend. Wonderful images in the stuccatto piece. The opening line and the ending line blow me away !

2006-04-25
How very true, and how very sad. The horror of repression leads us to Columbine and other senseless events we can never take back.

2006-04-25
Beautiful and very moving piece.

2006-04-25
How very true.

2006-04-24
Great write. Powerful and beautiful.

2006-04-24
This reminds me of the Surrealist painters Salvador Dalí and Max Ernst paintings on " The Last Temptation Of Saint Anthony " . You can read this as religious or you can follow along with some of the haunting, torturous imagry to reinforce the same. Great write.

2006-04-24
Beautiful and powerful write.

2006-04-23
I like the lyrical feel to that. Great write.

2006-04-23
Great poem, you get everyone to follow you then you stop them dead in their tracks great write.

2006-04-23
I do like this with it's trance/lullabye feel in rhthym. What though is a " capote " ?
