Hi Dean,
You certainly did a fantastic job with your presentation of this one. You're quite the graphic designer. Do you plan to make a book of these? It would be quite a feat.
I enjoyed your notes, too. I had no idea how to kill a zombie. Salt under their tongue means you have to get up close and personal. I somehow doubt anyone lives to brag about it. LOL
Your story-poem reads well and doesn't miss a beat. :) ellen

Yes, Ellen, that's my hope, to create a large, over-sized "coffee table" type book. I have a vision, & I appreciate all of you who are helping me hone that that vision through your fantastic feedback.
Thanks for this wonderful review! You made my day...

I love your pictapoems, Dean, and am so happy that you go through all that trouble just for us. Keep them coming, my talented computer wiz friend.
So, we are the Zombie King's refreshments--his final sacrifice. Awesome poem!!!

Yep...yum, yum, right, Alex (LOL)...
I appreciate you taking the time to read this one for me, Alex. From Celtic Warriors, to Zombie Kings, I want to run the gamut of possibilities...
Comment from Treischel
Another masterpiece of the macabre in this astounding poetic production that is a gruesome visual piece that is extremely creative. I don't know how you do it, you must be using the alternative advanced editor. Your poetry using classic aabb rhyming is spot on. You Rock! As zombies dance.

Thank you very much, Mr. 'T'. I am so glad you liked this one. Any trouble viewing it? One or two have said the font is too small. I have horrible eyesight, and I can see it just fine. I assumed everyone else would be able too, as well...
Thanks again for your encouraging review!

I don't like Zombie Kings. What ever happened to that book you had started? I thought the idea was good, just needed a better presentation.

Thanks for your concerns, David. Which do you feel needed a better presentation, The poem, "The Zombie King", or mine & JM daSilva's novella, "Ouija's Kube"? The next two chapters of the novella are on the editing block, and will soon be posted. I'm a bit confused as to which one you were referring to. I'm very sorry you didn't like the poem. I will try and do better the next time I post one.
Thanks again...

Comment from GE Parson
My Friend,Mr.. Dean,
You have a strange mind and warped imagination!
You live in a aberrant world unknown to the normal
society of humankind. But that's OK, because it gives the rest of us a bench line to judge our normality.
You once used that extraordinary mass of blood and corpuscles contained in what has been called "brain" to write a moving poem about your faith in Christ; I look forward to another such presentation
Your Brother in Christ, Jerry

I'm truly a very loving person, Jerry. Dogs are my closest friends, my family is my life, and my God is the master behind my creation. God has a sense of humor, too. He has no doubts about my devotion to Him, so I don't really take it too seriously if mere mortal man questions it. It's insignificant, his opinion is the only one that matters to me where the subject of spirituality is concerned.
Thanks for your read and review, Jerry.
-
Brother Dean you knew I was joshing you. I have no doubt of your devotion to the Lord.
And you are right about God having a sense of humor After All He created monkeys and man kind. LOL
-
Hah, yes, I knew you were joking. We, meaning people who love and serve the Lord, the one and true living God, Christ, are taught very early on in our lives: "Judge not, lest ye be judged..." I just like pokin' fun back once in a while, LOL!
God Bless...
Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is another interesting poem from the author. I now have some insight into the Zombie world. I just thought that they were mindless and useless. This has taught me that they do in fact serve a purpose.

Yes, Tomes, they do. And they get smarter and learn more as time goes by. What is time to a Zombie? They aren't faced with the prospect of death, they've already crossed that threshold. They have all the time in the world...
Thanks again for your review and unique perspective on this one...

This is an interesting perspective.
Take care,
Tom.

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Wow! Sorry I don't have a six so a virtual six will have to do.
Another exceptional visual graphic and outstanding poem.
I see no sign of technical stuggle in the finished product.
The poetry flows well and given the magnitude of the task a minor change in word flow is barely noticed.
check second last verse-line 3- When they're finish. ADD ED.
I hope you don't mind. I'm completing an editing and proofreading course and need the practise.

Comment from A Matter Of Words
Another winner - The Zombie King.
It's the cost of admission - it's his final price
For you're the refreshments - his sacrifice...
These pictures are amazing - are these your work? Dean, I found this one a little hard to read. Is it possible to up the font size a bit without destroying the balance?

I will try, and thanks for the wonderful feed back. Yes, I do the artwork on a lot of these, then transfer them. But, I have thousands of pictures saved on various external flash drives that I use as well...
Thanks for letting me know bout the viewing problem, I will try to correct ASAP!

I think I've fixed the problem, Stephanie. Thanks again for letting me know!

Yes you did. Your welcome.
