Re: A mag that PAYS??? by SupremeDreamer	13-May-13/10:09 AM
Heyyy!!! Since you're talking about writing and getting published, how about writing poetry for cash? Visit my site for more details towards May 25, 2013. I'm organizing a Tanka competition and there's cash to be won. It's open to all ... www.mandys-pages.com. Contest should start May 25 or June 1. Until then, it's just notices passing around. Stay tuned. http://www.mandys-pages.com
Re: Munnar -a must -see destination by Jessina	16-Sep-11/1:25 PM
I know Munnar... so I can connect with its landscape. but from just the description, it doesn't take me there poetically, although you may rhyme. While reading it I was looking for something that would make me say WOW as in 'yes, this is the poetry-inspiring MUNNAR'.... apart from the generalized description that every traveler to Munnar posts. I know you added some adjectives to describe it, but sometimes the reader wants more than a description. We want to find the poet in the poem.

Across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans or the Pacific, the other way round.... sound waves travel. I hear you. -10- for the message! :)

True. Also shows how human He was. He felt emotions that we feel, and loss that we fell..... or did he really feel 'loss' knowing that life would be restored to Lazarus that day?
Re: a comment on Song of Creation by amanda_dcosta	27-Apr-11/2:58 AM
Thanks for the rating and comment, Dovina. Initially when I wrote this poem and posted it at helium, I got a poor rating for it. I think many didn't quite get the terms used and so it must have sounded off (?) perhaps. After I added the glossary of terms, the poem really shot up on the charts, and so I was satisfied that it was a good write. Your rating of 8 is much appreciated. :)

Re: a comment on Freedom by amanda_dcosta	13-Feb-11/12:04 AM
Thank you for your vote and critique. Much appreciated. :) The phrases / words that you chose to mention were written specifically for each line. Each verse follows the imagery of 'being free' from some sort of bondage or clutch. In the first verse it is - 'free from heavy chains', 2nd verse - to escape 3rd verse - spirit held tight in grip (can be interpreted in many ways)indicating a need to be free 4th verse - unlock door of cell / bell's ring of freedom 5th verse - breathe in freedom; free from suffocation of emotional or depressive struggles 6th verse - 'to roam' signifying being free Every verse reflects the title and theme of the poem and hence these specific words were chosen. However, I will give it a second thought to what could be better than despair, although I do not find your suggestions fitting in with the theme. All the same, will think it over. Thanks for the review. :)

Very nice feel to this short verse. Picturesque.
Re: a comment on Best friends by amanda_dcosta	26-Nov-10/11:04 AM
Yeah, something like that Dovina. Experiences do have a way of reflecting itself in what we write. Thanks for the vote.
Re: The still wheel by Caducus	19-Jul-10/10:57 PM
Nicely written. I could see where this was going and you have the imageery done well too; but I'd rather you lose some of the unnecessary words like.... 'so she knew he was', 'she had outlived them all' and instead just give a full impact imagery in phrase form. Losing some of those unnecessary words would make it more impressive than it already is.

Re: a comment on My Thoughts by amanda_dcosta	9-Mar-09/10:34 PM
Blindpoetry / nentwined - :-) Thanks for the comments. valuable. Would like to point out though that this is what our thoughts are about most often. We try to sort things out, we wonder why somethings happen, especially when we cannot find a reasonable explanation. Its like - is it this , or is it that. It is not necessary to have come to an answer at that moment, but this verse is an expression of 'wondering'. Just the very act of thinking !
Re: harvest moon by Caducus	8-Mar-09/12:13 AM
Imagery is good, though I believe it picked up pace only by the second half.

Re: Rancor by Dovina	25-Jul-08/4:19 AM
Hi D. i remember cheering for you on your 200th poem, and here I see you've done another 100. Way to go girl. But what is this I read 'Amanda Dcosta has gone to heaven'? LOL. I was highly amused with that statement. Ok... guess its time for Amanda Dcosta to step down from heaven and return to our PR World. You guys have been missing me for long..... Hello everyone... good to see you all. Cheers to PR. I'm back !!!
