This is different - have I seen any of these in the series before? I like it - the photo, the poem - the entire package is really good. It presents beautifully and reads as a "polished" piece - hope that makes sense. AT=/

Sure it does, Jean, and I appreciate the complimentary review. Yeah, I have an entire book of these PictaPoems, called A Picture's Worth a Thousand Poems, and it can be located near the top of my portfolio. I've laid off writing them for quite some time, until I wrote My Ceremony for the horror poem prompt. Check them out sometime if you ever get the chance.
Thanks again! :}

I definitely will - it was really an enjoyable read - I see you walk the dark hallways at night...like me. Jean

Yeah, insomnia and I go way back, ever since my cardiologist told me after implanting my defibrillator that my condition is such that I could go to sleep and not wake up. That kinda' puts a damper on your need to sleep, LOL.
-
okay then...guess I'd pin my eyelids up on a permanent basis - ow, ow....you could write a wicked story about that!
-
Oh, I have, on other writing sites I am involved in.
-
Can you recommend any of those sites? This is the only one I am aware of.
-
I will by email, but I can't here. I'll get booted by Tom, LOL.
-
realized that - sorry
-
I sent you an email just now... :}

A great written poem, there were some excellent lines in this poem that I really liked , especially " night drops black orchids along the way " I loved the expression, and the presentation was as Americans say " Awesome" well done,

Hey, no worries, Dip. I know full well how few six star ratings I'm going to get in advance, and that's fine by me as long as people enjoy the poem and its message.
Thanks for the review, my friend.
Comment from Twilightspire
A fabulous addition to your pictapoem collection. The picture was perfect and fit the tone and content perfectly. I love the line about welcoming dusk, it speaks so much to transitions; death, life-changes, and even a new lease on life.
It is filled with sorrow, but an odd sort of acceptance.
Amazing work, my friend.
The sound took me by surprise at first, I review with headphones on and it freaked me out because I thought it was something in my house.
Great job.

Thanks, TJ, and I'm really glad you weighed in on this one for me. I'd hoped to get your opinions of my horror poem, My Ceremony during contest time, but I realize you've been pretty busy lately.
Thanks again!
-
Dang. I must have missed that one. I'll take a quick look at it, though I'm sure it will be too late for the contest. For some reason, the contest messages aren't coming to me anymore. I'll have to look into that.
-
No worries. DragonSkulls crushed me in the contest, 22-18 anyhow. Still, I was really happy the way the poem turned out. It is now in my book, A Picture's Worth a Thousand Poems, or you can catch it on the FanStory front page for one more day.
-
Heh heh. I just read and reviewed it. It was breath-taking. I also loved the homage to Orson Welles you did. Pure brilliance, my man.
-
Thanks, it was a lot of fun to write too, LOL... :} I did like the contest outcome with this one far better, I gotta' admit.
-
LOL. Kinda shocking you liked the outcome on that one better. :D
-
Ain't it, though?

The sounds, words and picture echoes within as the departure from this earth comes with the passing of the ghost ship. An eerie poem that is well told and sparks a dark imagination. Well done, Dean.

Comment from Michaelk
If Poe were to have an heir apparent, it would be you. Reading this poem that is all I could think, 'This reminds me of Poe'. Your rhythm and rhyme were flawless, as always. "mere meat am I upon the deck's plank" That was just an awesome line. I lifetime of philosophy in that one line. Your descriptions and language were also spot-on.
This was just a fantastic poem. Once again, Bravo.
