You're very welcome! I thought it was wonderfully emotional ^-^ and the reason I can connect...well just read a few of m poems and it will be clear why. Anyway, you're welcome ^-^!

Aw that sucks!!! Hopefully they will soon! You have a GREAT imagination!

Glad it fell on thick skin! Thanks for your good humor, a lesser man would've probably been sore about it. Keep on keeping on!

Hey think nothing of it, I like reading peoples works almost as much as I enjoy writing it. Yours is just a bit more fun to read than others and I know that I wont be worded to death.

Well the thought did cross my mind, that you were a cannibal, but I thought "to each their own" haha I got my poems published through poetry.com. It's a poetry contest, that accepts submissions all year.It only pays if you win & even then they nominate you and you go fly to read your poem in front of tons of people. They hounded me, to read my last poem, but I suffer from stage fright. (the poem is on here) It got first page in the book!

Yeah you were the first one to understand it's deeper meaning! I'm sorry you had to go through the same thing. It's not easy to watch someone you love get sucked into the world of drugs. I am never surprised by what happens to her, I'm waiting to hear that she has AIDS or is dead. It's horrible...especially because I can't do anything to help her.
Man you got to love being grown up, life was easier when i was 9.
Once again thanks for reading.

no problem it was fun reading your poem

Hey,

Thanks for the feedback...I'm glad you liked the structure of the piece. Best, --EMF

Thank you once again for your critique. Yeah that was originally a short pros piece, but I thought it worked better as a poem. The real meaning behind it was very close to what you said. My best friend got mixed up with drugs, and has managed to push away her entire family away. She wont admit she needs help and the person she once was is no longer there. It breaks my heart. I wrote it for her, and I'm sure she never read it.
Thanks again for all your encouragement !

Thank you for your critique. I really appreciate your kind words. I do write differently than other people, i love to do it, but its not all I do. It is a hobby, but I need to remember that doesn't make me less of a writer. Your comments and critiques really do help/ make me smile. Thanks

yeah it was crap. I try to write poems, but they just don't come out the way i want them to. Then when i write things that are ok like my In the Jaws everyone says i should put it into poem form, but i just don't know how.

Lol, yeah i reread that critique it didn't make much sense sorry...I'm sleep deprived. I'm glad you like my critiques..I try to give helpful advice , but keep it nice. (aka flowery crap) I'm really not good at the critiquing thing. Oh well.

hi, erik--
thank you for the critique on 'shade tree'!
i agree, those lines could be a bit vague...ah, well. must work on that!
muchas gracias!

thank you eric walker my fellow pencil pusher, I should get a subscription I suppose so I could write more without deleeting anything, I appreciate and take into consideration all input recieved, it may take a while but I'll get there. thankx again

thank you for the reviews, I did make a mistake with the windand the willow, should be only one page oops. I have been ill so I have not been here this past week, but as soon as i can I would like to check out your works also.once again thank you so much for the encouragement and the typo error help.

Oh i love the quote. Thanks for the positive message.

I don't think it was morbid.. I don't know if you have read anything by Kurt Vonnegut but I had a whole class on his work and it kind of forced me to see past things that you see as morbid or perhaps vulgar and look at the beauty of something. It's strange to say, but i could see the beauty of being a cannibal. If you are able to do that as an author you are really talented. Can't wait to read more!

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hi, Erik Walker! Thanks critiquing my story! Read more of my works. Just click my name, scroll down. You will see recently published works.
