There Is A Red Book

yet it is unsettling as it it should be to a human ,The Narrative you use really fits this poem Anne all the way to the end. In ink, Dabbler

Anna I found this very moving, you have portrayed this subject Beautifully - If Only such a sad affair could be, Well thought through, Very Brave, Regards Peter

I joined neopoet yesterday, and read through as many poems as my stupid computer would let me (each download took an age). Yours was the one that spoke to me. The first line especially grabbed my attention - I like poetry which starts from the commonplace and leads me into contemplation. The subject matter is something I feel deeply about, and to add icing to the cake (sorry for cliche) the poem is beautifully constructed. Not a word in the wrong place, and it is pepppered with the delight of discovery. (realisation of the use of colour to emphasise a mood)- One of the ones I wished I had written. I have also read your Martin Luther King poem and am I allowed to mimic a teenager? 'Wow? It speaks to me, man' - MLK - one of the idols from my youth - sorry, if I am going over the top - but when I read poems such as these I need to grab the writer by the lapels and gabble quickly in case they get away.

Of madness and divinity, rows of yellowing bones and rows of dead shells, I like your rows and rows of things, why don't they start to dance, as where they are they're of no use except escape's perchance. Yours Ann of Norway
