Thanks for the support Al.

Thanks Dovina, I titled this poem 'Joshua and Ruth' because they are the inspiration behind this piece. Maybe hell is a little too harsh to be refered to, but in life many times we come across situations where we actually break down and call our lives a living hell. At these times it would be helpful to be in the presence of little children, for they can be the utmost comfort when you need it most.

You've captured it all.... Bravo. I don't think there's much to wonder about after this.

Lol. Fair enough.
Re: A Boy Without Rain by D. $ Fontera	5-Jul-06/8:18 PM
A nice theme, there, and I like the last four lines.... Pls punctuate. It's like I have to re read to get the right tone and flow of words.

Not bad.

Don't tell that no one's actually voted and commented here. So much for decency! I bet if you had to put one sick word into it you'd have probably got a dozen votes. To nit-pick, I'd like it if there were caps for the 'i'. I personally dislike seeing it in small letters, or maybe I'm too particular about that. It would also be nice if the beginning of verses were also caps. It gives a very disordered look without it, making your piece look less impressive. I'm trying to put a tune to it. Think one could fit in , so ... I could probably say that it's fairly good. The lyrics though, are a little common.

Is this some kind of a Genesis sequel? .... day, light, word, air, birds, breath, ......???
Re: Astronomy and Pharmaceuticals by wilco	5-Jul-06/7:36 PM
P.S. Any new recordings recently?
Re: Astronomy and Pharmaceuticals by wilco	5-Jul-06/7:34 PM
Hey, wilco.... cool. When I read the title in the 'recent list', I was wondering what you'd sing about in astronomy and pharm... Sounds nostalgic to me, but good.

Hello Maria, As you can see, i am not the only one with the opinion I am about to share withyou. Ranger has the same views. Personally I ain't too impressed with your presentation and feel that you have to be original with this age-old topic Love. You've mentioned the word love toomany times and this also takes away the essence of the theme. I would rather you shorten your lines and fit it into beautifully presented verses (rhyming or free verses) with the same idea and theme you have in mind. Sorry to disappoint but I think I have to be frank in my opinion.

Great writing...although I can't add much by way of war-facts and distances.
Re: O say, can you see? by Dovina	4-Jul-06/6:39 AM
Nice thought and pretty well conveyed too. I esp like the last bit... So pop that cracker, suspend the fight, enjoy the margin, and sparkle the night.

Thanks Dovina. Actually laziness in all reality isn't a giant slug, and for that matter all our various Goliaths , say, greed, money, gambling, drink, etc. When you actually want to get around it, you feel the actual battle rage within you. When you give in, you become the slug.

Thanks ecargo. But I'm very bad at presenting riddles.... somehow they never turn out right.
