Sorry I didn't give whose choice a better review but I ran out of review time this morning, so I just did a quick mention.

Thank you Ms Wicked for your recommendation on Dear Ghosts. I'm Photoshopping again madly and loving it. I don't know why, but there is something for me about the process of laying out a poem on an illustration that makes me rethink the poem and end up with tighter writing. Anyone else find that to be true? Evie? Lostandfounder? Neo-man?

And thank you to those who commented. I truely appreciate your words, though I'm not sure how I ended up adopting Tath as my dependent. (This will be a good thing in April, right Tath?)

My poetry gets worse when I attach it to an illustration! I must assume that I can put less effort into words since there's a pic to go with it. I don't know...

that's because, unlike me, you've already mastered the art of brevity.

You're a monkey. A banana peel looks good to you. I do have good legs, though. Oh, just look at those man-crushing thighs of mine. Wanna get squeezed, monkey boy? Oh, never mind. Man-crushing, not monkey-crushing...

Well, you're quote above is brief... and I'm sure you've written short (13-14 stanza) poems.

Once again the monkey hits the wrong button..and gets a shock instead of the yummy pellet

Oh, that's sad! Poor little monkey. Here, have a... pellet of... kiss, kiss, hug, hug?

Well that's a much better offer than the monkey crushing thighs
Thanks

For my illustrated poems, I "usually" do the art first then write the poem to the art. My illustrated, ~Touching the sun's art was created a full month before the poetry. The only time I haven't done that would be for, Feathers—the poem was written first (which I need to de redo since I think I've gotten better with the photo-shopping and 3D Poser)

Was Dear Ghosts a negative? I think you did a fab job on that. It'e very creative, Ange.

Thanks, neo. I go the other way round most of the time--I have the poem and then I do the illustration. Maybe that's why I feel more of a need to edit the poem. Right now though, I have an illustration I did of Thelonious Monk that I really dig, but I keep staring at it, waiting for the poem to come, lol.

And the photo for Dear Ghosts was not a negative, just an old family picture that I played with in Photoshop till I got the right "ghostly" look I wanted. BTW, guess who the little girl peering through the words is?

 

[ferociouskittycat]

I can do Fridays (yours or mine?)

I read the poems most days anyway...

Abortion by Reltne Short, but very powerful words.
. . .

Thank you for the mention FKC/DM review person. And thank you to my regular cadre of 4 - 5 voting readers.

I was inspired by some recent powerful anti-abortion poems. I wanted to come from the other side, but instead it just came out stark and could be liked or disliked by either side. Abortion might be thought of as selective human weeding, and isn't garden weed control plant abortion?

 

[doormouse]

Foot in mouth disease, don't mind me LOL

Sorry.

My pleasure LOL

You chose really suitable words to help make your poem solid.

I liked it.

The weed thing got me. It was original, and really made the reader think. I love your imagination.

 

[Angeline]

I saw this one bloom earlier in the week, and loved it then. Now I think Beginnings is perfect.

A really difficult subject when you aren't involved. knowing Ange like I do makes this a terriffic poem.

Thank you, Angeline Extraordinaire!!

Thanks Boo. I wrote it as a response to tung's poem (who I hope survived the hurricane!), but you, I knew, would understand.

And doormouse, ty for your comment dear lady--it's a new poem. I just wrote it--might sound like another of mine though, lol.

my first review... be gentle with me LOL

John by Angeline I loved. The image and abstract way she placed her words really made this a gripping poem.

It's through time by lil_fire She has a few submissions, but this is by far my fave.

Abortion by Reltne Short, but very powerful words.

Battle Cry by irishcatsmeow Worth the read. I'm biased, I love dragons

Forbidden Love by harley23 I just loved this. The images were fantastic.

anamneses by ferociouskittycat Well I couldn't do my first review without a plug LOL

Understanding Salem's Witch Trials by Uncle Pervey Well worded, and a touching subject. I really liked this one.

Dancing Wildly by Belegon Just loved this.

Grapevine by Remec Very abstract, yet well worth the read.

Thanks Kitty! I really appreciate the recommendation. And Boo, as I said in my comment--ee may be a total sweetheart, but I've loved Lennon fporever and ever--I love ee too, but he ain't gettin credit for John, lol.

Is that you?

Heh...you had such nice memories. Mine were of greasy green, gobblins under my bed with stretchy long arms that would grab my hand if I slept with my arm on the edge.

Now here I'm 27 and still can't sleep with my hand off the side of the bed
