Hello Tony;
- a magnificent piece that truly show the ramifications of one's speech during a
love fest and not a lust fest. It goes on to speak of the many ways one shows their love for another and what was to be spoken when speaking of this love. And sometimes blasphemous and sometimes beauty these words are incorporated in the lives of your writing.
-I like the picture to me signify the leap of judgment and to me is also very appropriate, supportive and relative to the conceptual theme of the writing.
- good alliteration in words like: "still small spaces, staccato stabs, long lascivious, forest floor, dragged down, raucously racing, stretch the syntax.
-imagery that is very distinctly clear with definitive expressions and vividly and demonstratively descriptiveness.
-thank you for sharing and posting and good luck in the contest and may the Lord be with you always.
Alex
PS: I was sending you a message of a poem I wrote that is blank verse I want you to just look at it. it'll come some.

Hi, Alex. Thank you for this. Once again I very much appreciate your six stars and kind words. I have your blank verse poem in my inbox and will take a closer look at it this evening. On first reading, it seems to flow very well, with perfect iambic rhythm and it's a fine topic for blank verse.

Thank you very much Tony and plus you are so very welcome. Whenever I get to Australia I'll look you up.

Comment from tony bronk
I really admire how you were able to place words in so many analogies and situations which I certainly never dreamed of before, and how you brought life (human and all) to them. Very creative and amazing. You deserve my six for such a strong, ingenuity! Mate! Tony Bronk .

Comment from Chris Walker
A love poem for writers--it doesn't get much better than this! Your word play and imagery is absolutely stunning!
Love this:
"wallow like thesaurus wrecks drowning in seas of dead language. . ."
Good luck in the contest, Chris

Well oh hot damn!! This is a gem of a free verse. I picked it up carefully (scooped in my open palms) and will place it gently into my FS bookcase. Awesome.

Comment from meldarthx
First; things I love - the descriptions; imagery are second to none and at times the flow is near perfect.
Now - things that didn't work; the flow - continuous usage of same beginning letters in different parts. Yes its free flow; but we still have some rules there ;) Usage of the same simple beginning letters is what kills the flow. I think this is a great start on a what could be a wonderful piece. I think if you polished it; broke up over used same beginning letters - then you'll not just have a good piece; but a great one.
Thank you for sharing and good luck

Comment from Taffspride
You pose an interesting questions in this well written poem. It is a very worthy entry for the contest.
Do I love my words? Well that depends. I like them when they come out the right way, but when spoken in anger, I would say no.
and do they drift down in peace? Some-times, when I have written something that to me is beautiful, then yes they do.
But most times they scream at me from the page. Take a look at me, they seem to be saying. How can you leave me here in disarray? and I have to go in and edit and re-edit.
I could find nothing that needed changing or editing with your words.
Thanks for sharing, and good luck in the contest.

Thanks, Ann. I can never quite decide whether they are our friends or our enemies. One thing's for sure - we can't do without them!
