Keep up the great work!

Thanks, CT, I will do my best. I appreciate that, and I look forward to reading your work as soon as you're ready.
Thanks, again.
Comment from GWHARGIS
I have a confession. I am deathly afraid of zombies. I can no watch them or see pictures of them. I will probably have nightmares tonight, and I'm not kidding. I will write you a stern letter if I do. But for now I have enjoyed another horror fixation from you. Nicely done.

Oops, sorry GW, Had I known...I would have tried werewolves, or maybe vampires, instead (LOL)..
If I see a letter form you, at least I'll know what to expect. GULP!

You're in the clear. No nightmares...yet! Try a man with a hook. I haven't read anything about them lately. Consider it a personal challenge. Gretchen

Will do, you can count on it!
Comment from Cookie333
Well, I definitely learned something about zombies from reading this one. Salt under the tongue-who the Hell wants to get that close to a zombie? Not me that's for sure. I enjoyed this one Dean, it was much easier to read and I am not sure what your intention was on the flow-I read the entire left column, top to bottom and then went over to the right...
thanks for giving my nightmare inspiration, haha

Yep, you got the flow correct, Cookie. Left, to right. I wanted to do it a straight down, but it distorted the picture so much, I had to abandon that idea. Thanks so much, again!
Comment from madhatter1977
Dean, this is great again. Don't know how you master the technology to do this stuff but it's fantastic. Love the lightness of touch in both the words used and the humour in the darkness you describe. Deserves a 6 again for technology and of course the writing, but I've already used up a few and have nearly a week to go. Very well done again. Best wishes, Pete :)

What else can I say Dean you have a special talent to write horror and thriller poems and stories.
I say watch out Edgar Allen Poe( bet you are stirring within your grave) and Stephen King you best read Dean's writing..

Hah, thanks Gert. I have been trying for years to get Stephen to read my stuff. But, alas, my phone calls all go ignored, (LOL).
Thanks for this wonderful review, my friend. And please don't entice ol' Edgar to come and get me. I want to stick around awhile!
;)

Okay I won't entice Edgar.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Wow. Am I pleased to be able to review your work! This is quite splendid, Dean - a presentation like no other I've seen, and the writing is excellent - well metered with a great rhyme scheme - who could ask for more?

Thanks very much, Ideasaregems-Dawn, I am glad that we spoke and you made me aware of that problem. I still can not, for the life of me, figure out how that occurred...
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, my new firend!
-
Entirely my pleasure. Yes, I'm glad we did too - I had no way to get through to you, and I felt quite badly.
Comment from cupa tea
I looked at the other one you did and it was just too overwhelming for me to even read...now this one I like a lot...I like zombies and I love that picture. The poem is really good and I like the music you put with it...This is an excellent piece of work....

Thanks very much, cupa tea. I try to write for people of all tastes, and I am very happy to know that I found one in your vein that you could enjoy. Entertainment, that's all I am here for, my friend.
Thanks so much, again!
-
you know a book like that would do well on kindle I think...because it is computer technology and reading, games and so forth...could make you some money too...
-
That is exactly my reasoning behind this format, or "style", if you will, of poetry, cupa. I wanted to test the waters, so to speak, see if there would be a market for this type of thing. I believe I will pursue a publishable manuscript pertaining to this style of poetry. I appreciate feed back like yours because it lets me know what works well, and what, not so well...
Thanks again!
Comment from poet.wayne
This would have gotten a six, if I'd have had one to give... simply for the production! The poem itsef read flawlessly, capturing the very essence of the current zombie craze, the music fit well (though, I'd probably have picked Keith Emerson's awesome version of this piece), I could imagine Slayer recording this as a long song!
You did still have a long sequence of-code, I guess- in the author's notes.
I've finally gotten a clue, am keeping mine in preview mode, til I'm satisfied all is OK with them. I did one just now, to a poem I began writing as I was going to bed last night, which I finished this morning. Something about the passage of these pic/poems through Photobucket seems to- I don't know, dull, fade- them just slightly. My text doesn't stand out as sharply as on the image in Paint. Maybe I should have done further editing while in Photobucket.

I agree, PW< that's why you must, as you say, keep it in preview mode until you believe you have it just so. Usually, sharpening it with the photobucket editor helps, then brightening it up a smidge...
Thanks for the read & review, I appreciate it!
Comment from Louise Michelle
Hi Dean,
Such a perfect read for this gloomy, rainy morning. It really helps me get into the mood. One of my favorite lines: gyrate to his enchanting rhythm
Also, I love that you interjected a little comic relief about Vegas and the line 'you're the refreshments' It's ghoulishly funny!
Hugs,
Lou

Thanks very much, Lou. Hopefully, it brightened up an otherwise gloomy day outdoors for you. Always nice to reign in a little sunshine, and bring it indoors now & again, LOL!
Thanks, as always, for you gracious review.
