Thank you M.C. - a great suggestion for the change, I've made that (not sure why that didn't come to me at the time). He was an incredible talent, I grew up to his films and always had great admiration for him - a tremendous loss.

Comment is about Retreat (blog)

These lines would have surely met with the approval of the character RW played so well in "Dead Poets' Society".
Obviously written with huge affection/admiration for a wonderful talent.
I love the opening verse but would have settled for
"abides" in line 1 - avoiding "...sides" clashing in the same verse.
How awful that both Christopher Reeve and Robin Williams
- close friends in life - should have such tragic ends.
They deserved so much more.

Hi Tommy,
I am honoured by your comments! And please feel free to critique my work :) I am here to learn from experienced and established poets like yourself.
I also left some thoughts on a couple of your poems :)

I have been "thinking" about Descartes :) And realized that maybe his famous saying doesn't apply equally to everyone? I am too under-read to offer any deeper insight!

Thank you once again for your lovely comments :)

Comment is about I am (blog)

Preeti I do not wish to hog your site, but as I checked your change (seeking) I noticed another work. 'I am'. It is very generous in out-look, sympathetic and empathetic and diametrically opposed to 'I'll tell you when'. It shows a broad range of attitude that is always welcome on this site. tommy

Hi Tommy,

"I lowered my case-
And loved her more."

The poem builds up to these two lines, edgy and taut. I can see it playing in my mind! Brilliant!

what a lovely, tender piece. really enjoyed reading this.

from a technical point of view, you may want to break some of your lines up as there are a bit long into two or more lines but its still a lovely piece.

Mildred letters to her name
This collage poem it too
Joins up the alphabet jungle
Purple poo gets washed away
Sending wild poetic words astray.

Very good, and very up to the minute Tom

drop the "ever" from the third last line. And my last line would have been.

"Because Heaven is now a fun place"

Hope you don't mind. Ken.
