Once again you have outdone yourself. Your presentations are as outstanding as your poetry. Keep challenging yourself with those technical issues, the possibilities are endless. I look forward to reading your graphic novel.

Thanks so much, eafournier. I do appreciate that!
Comment from Norbanus
Zombies cheered and dragged their muddied leather,
The multitude pressed 'round to join the throng.
Moonshine showed they'd triumph over weather,
The trembling foe had lasted far too long.
Allies left him stranded in the battle
On stairways scattered with the brac of war.
A foe raised a sword with lusty rattle
and spat the words, "You've made a step too far!"
The Vampire King just tossed him in a ditch.
All hope is lost, and they all know that he
will win this fight without another hitch.
But darkness takes its charge so they can't see.
"Too far!" the living shouted from the hole
The king bends down and squashed out his soul.

Cool response, Norbaus. Fantastic, even, I loved it!
Comment from Alan K Pease
Your contributions to us are remarkable. You delve into the music of a collage of art-poetry, graphics - and of course the music in a way that suggests that this is a profession of love - not merely a love of poetic style - which deserves a thunderous applause. Your resources suggest a breath of being not a usual find in Fanstory. There are a few others. You have driven a stake of concern to all who will want to develop similar skills and they will be at your feet to learn with wonder.

Thank you very much, Alan. You are right, it is a profession of love, this writing I do. However, getting comments such as the one you've given me here, from you, such a very talented and gifted poet yourself, makes it all worthwhile.
You made my day, my friend...

Yes, the zombie is an ever evolving art form. Once a mindless, undead stooge, each new zombie recreation seems to become faster, smarter and more refined.
Thanks for you review, Earthwriter, I sincerely appreciate it!
Comment from S A Bullen
I had not heard that Bach piece in its entirety.... and when you scroll back up and re-read your piece with the music accompaniment..... Powerful! I 'm loving your pictapoems. It was really well written an suitably scary lol. Another great one, Dean. Sheryn :-)

Thanks very much, Sheryn. I do appreciate all the support you've shown me concerning this format. It's been very encouraging, to say the least.
Comment from teafor2
Dean Kuch--Being an avowed minimalist your creative lengthy
presentations are an exception I will make on occasion. The
amount of effort and time that must be spent on these posts
saps me of energy; the graphics along are stunning; the re-
search/author notes are noteworthy; the poetics are impres-
sive; the language appears authentic; the structure's sound
and page layout is eye catching; and the presentation is
morbidly entertaining, but educational. Teafor2

Thank you very much, teafor2, and don't think that I do not appreciate it for one second. You have been an excellent supporter of what it is I try to do, and I thank you for that!

You have more talent, patience and other intangibles in your little finger than I have in my whole body...
Comment from CR Delport
That music is the perfect background for this very well written poem. Actually, it is more than a poem, it is a work of art. Great job.

With all of the literary vampires, zombies and werewolves, the world as we know it is decaying. This is very well written with a interesting flow of words.

Comment from Spitfire
LOL I couldn't help laughing at the end of this, but it's a brilliant spooky poem even without the music and picture.
one line that I thought could be improved: stanza 7, line 4- maybe "you have no chance" rather than "you've got.."
Love the metaphor of dance throughout. Oh, and BTW, congratualations of your big win. I remember giving you a sixer for that piece. Your pastor would be proud. :-)

Yes, you did, Spit, I remember. And I sincerely appreciate all of the support you have shown me since I became a member. I can't wait to tell Revered Pride about it. I was going to call, but he's usually very busy counseling youth through the week at the school where he works. I'll just wait 'til Sunday.
Thanks so much again, for everything!
