  OMG! It was actually a toss-up between your two submissions. It came down to the wire, so I flipped a coin and gave my vote to 'Soldier'. Obviously you are an extremely talented word-smith. This blows me away!! more »

    p.s. You captured the essence of 'death', visually and spiritually with this beautiful rendering of a topic not many poets would dare to embrace. Thank-you.

    I'm sorry, Robin, I just now saw your comment as I was looking to edit poems. I really hope you understand that in this short time we've become friends, that you are VERY important to me. True, we've never met, and may never meet, but I sense you so so strongly in everything you do and stand for. I just sense you.
    
    I hope this doesn't sound creepy, but I really am glad to know you. To have a brilliant writer like you lending praise to me means the world. You truly inspire me to write and create more works. I hope you, too, will never stop expressing yourself just as I hope, too, that I hold some significance for you. You truly are a great writer and person, Robin.
    
    THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for your kindness. more »

    I am speechless, and that doesn't happen very often. Thank-you for being my friend :). And no...that didn't sound creepy at all. I thought everything you said was highly complimentary and inspiring.

    I hope your spirits are as high as the season affords for. If you're anything like me, horror fan and all, then I know this time of year can be an uphill climb. Dark days leave my spirit in a dark haze many times. If not for writing and the gym, I'd be snorting Coco Puffs through a curly-Q straw in a padded room somewhere in Bucktooth Montana.
    
    FYI: Yesterday I managed to forge one of my best-ever rhyming poems...or should I say, it wrote me. I started with a single thought/concept that was leading me high and low with no sure destination in mind. As I progressed, it really began to take shape. Whether or not anyone else thinks it's worth a damn remains to be seen, but I thought it came out the bomb. I'll enter it into one of the coming contests. We shall see. Sharpen those skills, Momma, cuz Daddy be sizzlin'. more »

    Also, I will seek to be publishing a book sometime in 2023. I'm hoping
    to get it up and running on Amazon at some point. I'll let you know when
    and where upon completion. I'll need to develop some sort of marketing
    schematic even though poetry books make approximately no income whatsoever. I'll do
    it despite said fact. This is simply a personal accomplishment I'd like
    to achieve before God claims my bones. more »

    LOL 'Captain Crunch' gives a little extra kick :).

    Coco Puffs indicative of the "cuckoo" moniker, hence. Tell me I'm not adorable without breaking into song and dance, Robin. I double dare ya!
