Your poems are fine
and rhyme, although
their rhyming scheme's
a little slow,
to right a poem
here's what we know
break out the words
break out the Bordeaux!

I have spent many hours fighting loneliness while traveling for work. short notice, "temporary" companionship was hard to find. And there are many fond memories from then, in my mind.

Deliciously descriptive, not just of the season, but also the mood of the nation.

JD.,
Thank you for your message and complimentary words. It was very kind of you. I also find your poetry interesting and look forward to reading more. I share your need to be surrounded by the 'right people'. Those with whom we can relate to on a more meaningful level. I have been on WOL for approximately four years and log in almost every day. It was this site that inspired me to compile my first book of poems.
Your style of writing speaks of someone sensitive to life in its many aspects. Your ability to rhyme is very good. Your sheer ability to express yourself comes across as being genuine. You must keep writing as I believe you have a lot to say that people will want to read.
Maybe it would be a good idea for us to correspond via our e mail addresses and thus get to know each other better.
Keith

I feel this way about most of my work.
when I read you pro`s I feel like a jerk.
as poets go, beneath you I lurk.
dreams of writing a good one, gives me a perk.
the maple leaf, cures the grief.
about my rhymes, you may ask, where is the beef?
and they sound like the Dr. (so call me a thief),

They just don't communicate very well.
That's why they call them dumb animals!

Keith,
you are very well spoken, a soothing nature about your words that I find, well, soothing. your insight is impressive, I look forward to reading all of your work. I like the comment, poetry is open to interpretation, mine sure is, I have many to share, and write more weekly. I very rarely "write" for correspondence but am interested enough to try. I believe in surrounding myself with the right people, and feel that knowing you will be very good for me. therapeutic actually. I thrive on captivating writing. and have found write out loud to have many talented poets to follow. loving it so far. to be continued.

JD.,
Thanks for commenting on my poems. I really appreciate this from someone who writes well yourself. I live on the edge of a small town where hedgehogs and squirrels are all over the place preparing for winter. They drive my dogs bananas. I am also pleased you enjoyed Faces in the shadows in which I revisit my youth when life was a furtive existence. But fun also. (wow)
Keep writing mate. I look forward to reading more of your work and perhaps getting to know you better.
Keith

JD.,
This poem presents all poets with the enigma of life after death. What will become of us? Will we all be reunited? Or are destined to be dust for eternity? Is there a purpose to our existence? The answers lie, I believe, in the infinite reaches of the universe and therefore elude our finite minds. Many of my poems have reflected on this theme as it intrigues me greatly, especially as the years pass me by. Your poem is clear, well rhymed, succinct and addresses the perennial problem very well indeed.
Thank you for this,
Keith

This poem highlights my thoughts about the church. The needy among us must be attended to. We must serve God and the people. God is in the people.

The nothingness presume to await the after life can cripple the journey. Mortality will melt away but the hope still remains that immortality will swallow it.

Sadly, an all too frequent occurrence - the death of wild life on our roads. Here, in the UK, it happens to badgers and foxes or the
occasional rabbit. With vehicles and their headlights having been
around for many decades, you might think that a word of warning
would have been handed down in the animal world by now !

Flavia,
I enjoyed this poem for its juxtaposition between desire and hesitancy when head rules the heart but the heart speaks back. A clever poem. A very good poem
Thank you for this

Emeka is a young aspiring poet with enormous potential who has already grasped the fact that poetry, a peaceful tool, can influence events and highlight what is taking place in his country. He is highly observant and articulate. Nigeria needs to be aware that there are, amongst its citizens, intelligent young people who can see what the government is doing and they are not fooled. Emeka we salute you

Emeka,
This is a very powerful poem indeed. The words, "We boiled in our fear" clearly expresses the effects of such violence. Journalists will report these happenings but only a poet will be able to capture the emotions which are at play. Very well written.
Take great care of yourself and your family.
Keith
