This was a very interesting poem to read, written in the quatrain style with rhyming couplets. Had good rhythm and rhyming throughout the poem.

Dean.. This is one hell of a poem and and the presentation is entirely cool from beginning to end. LOL...I just noticed the drop of blood falling on your page also. You are one clever dude, my friend. I do hope you are in some sort of biz connected with graphics...if not you should be. Great job. Bob

Hah, yeah, I'm a bit on the "techie" side of the fence there, Bob. I just love all of the bells and whistles the internet gives us access to.

Thanks for your fantastic review, my friend, and congrats for being selected Book of the Month, once again...

First, here's what I love: the imagery, the subject matter, the essence of your piece. What I don't love: the rhythm. It was a hard read because certain lines seemed to flow differently than others, throwing me off balance. I'm not sure if the pictapoem format has anything to do with it, but the flow wasn't as seamless as your other pieces. Still, I enjoyed the Zombie King very much. All hail his undeadness!

This was awesome, the whole thing, I've never seen anything so in depth done here. It's pretty cool. The poem was great- a nice even rhythm, wonderful imagery, good details. You did a great job here.

'The Zombie King.' An excellent zombie poem you have created here which I read with tongue in cheek, and some anticipation. Your structure I found, was good. Well done.

Thanks, chasennov. Yes, there is a bite...er, I mean, "bit of tongue-in-cheekiness to it, you're right. I appreciate you taking the time to read and review it for me.

I would love to see these poems from you all in a collection. You just give such a terrific tone to dark poems. I loved the whole idea you developed about the zombies.
There are so many lines I enjoyed, but the one I liked the most, probably it is this one:
You won't catch his act in Vegas - No!
Yet, a sinful realm - farther below;

loved it.

This dance, I hope to don't see any, as I can the cemetery through my kitchen window, and the whole environment is already creepy enough.

Hah, yes, I imagine that would be rather spooky, Angel. I'd probably be out there at midnight, though, armed with flashlight, pen and paper to write on...

Thanks so much, again!

Another class act for the repetoire my friend. The word choices in places are just sublime, "gyrate" for example. Great stuff my friend. Like the touch of the organ music being played on the attachment too. class!!


Yours in continuing admiration

Absolutely teeerific, Dean. I'm really enjoying this new style of poem. And appreciate you are willing to push the limits to produce such a terrific product. I would love to see these put together. Thanks, also, for sharing the Zombie lore. I've never read any of that before and you never know when it will come in handy LOL. My favorite:

'Cadavers stiff choreography
ensnares anyone brave enough to see
this obscene testament to death and sin
-- you pray to leave before it begins...'

Warmest regards, Bev

Wow. Wow. Wow. Great write. The layout, the music and especially the words has just made me unaware of anything else around me. Totally captured by this. Yes, I must watch, I must pay the admission. he has me, I will be his sacrifice. When's his next show? :D Brilliant. Wish I could give a more 'practical' review of the writing but I am just going with the way it made me feel and where it took me. Fantastic. Steve.
