A commentary on reading poetry and criticism of the same. I think Mr. Logan would suffer apoplexy reading my scribblings. Some on this site he would find meritorious, but not many. All comments welcome.

Chapters:

Summary:

Any and all feedback is desired. Those who fight reviewing poetry it is simply 'what is felt reading the words' 'what visions flash?' That simple. If none? That is also a legitimate review. Poetry will not affect all the same nor reach deep enough to enjoy. I write whatever comes to me. Sometimes sad and deep while other times silly nonsensical dribble! This is a subject that has haunted me since small as while never 'starving' I did know hunger and painful pangs of it. While we spend fortunes to kill we allow hunger to spread and diabolical horror on those without protection. While some can emotionally tuck these images in a mental drawer this writer can't. Empty eyes scream hopelessness.

Summary:

I have to admit I am nervous about posting anything but poetry and silly stuff as it calls for better writing technically. Creating is easy for me but rules are not. Many have urged me to try a novel. Hmmmph! That would me like a five hundred pound woman attacking Mt.Rainer on a hot summer day. So perhaps a very short story. I have no clue how to do this so be critical and perhaps I will pick up a few rules as I go. Too much. Simply say, stick to poetry.

All feedback welcome. Just something that came to me during the frustration of the editing process of my novel. I've been reading suggestions, criticism, and writing deep into the night for several weeks and a well meaning, but not particularly supportive family member said I'd become obsessed with writing and I needed to keep "my hobby" in perspective.

You can also practice reviewing and pointing out mistakes knowing this writer won't bite! Ha.. I was really embarrass how bad it was. Cringed!!! Hope it has improved. All feedback..

This is my submission to the Drabble Contest. I've never written a Drabble, and I had a lot of fun writing this one. I thought it would be fun to write my Drabble in rhyme... I read everything I could find on the writing of Drabbles, and I couldn't find anything to suggest that prose was the only form in which one could be written.

Summary:

Is imagination under siege...the quiet focus of 21st century terrorism. ---- From Wall Street to Oil and Health industries, control-mongers pose a threat that knows no boundaries. What aspect of life might be next to experience its influence? The Media? The Arts? Perhaps, both. ---- Because of its subject matter, I am continuing the effort to keep Echosis timely and relevant. Believing WE ARE ALL CREATIVE, the story explores the consequences of a world where the threat of a global strike by artists of all disciplines brings the brokers of art, entertainment and the media to their knees. Reminiscent, in part, of NETWORK and its plea for a public to speak out rationally, in anger if necessary, Echosis chronicles the growth of NYC sculptor and visionary, Derek Turrel, and the obstacles he encounters in trying to hold onto his integrity. ---- AS A RESPECTFUL REQUEST, PLEASE START ANY REVIEWING WITH CHAPTER ONE.

It’s about parenting the modern girl-child from the perspective of a divorced father, while he tries to find his voice as a writer and his place as a husband.
