RED'S LAST WALK

Although I never heard a spoken word I think this would fall in better if the although was left out well there's a nice twist on the little red riding hood theme. I like what you have done here. Good eye catching title as well Chrys

THIS IS A GREAT TRIBUTE POEM, LOAADED WITH LOVE

Welll doggies, one of these days I've gotta have a looong talk with that Wolf! Loved it. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water." If government is the answer, it's a stupid question!

I would have liked it a little better if all the couplets rhymed, esp. since it is a take on a fairy tale. I esp. liked stanza 3, with its alliteration in the first line and the inarticulable fear of some unknown danger in the second - the dreaded "unknown thing." Nice job.

You clever clever woman, You had me reading and I though attack, get out the pepper spray,,,,, Then it turns to Red riding hood. Loved it !!! Patty

Your poem seems like a horror story. What a vivid description! Inference from a classic is brilliant. The reader is simply enchanted by the beauty of flow of the poem. Congrats. You do not seem to have read my work from sometime. -Mohammad A Quatrain from my book Rubai'yat of Josh Malihabadi -A Drop and the Ocean: Research surpasses destinations designed Pursuit of vision, new horizons find Knowledge is that miraculous food That whets infinitely the hunger of mind

Your working on the Oncology floor must be very demanding. It must be a stupendous task to be associated with. I am sure you find it highly satisfying also. However, your job will give you new vision and open new vistas and horizons of thoughts and these thoughts will flow through your pen. Poetry is a food for soul. It generates delicate and tender feelings in heart, influences ones behaviour in the society, bestows knowledge and appreciation of relationships and sense of realization of good and evil. It helps in generating virtues in ones self and to discover ones self. A person like you with craving for poetry has deep integration with it and can't keep away from it despite occupational preocupation. I am sure you have read my poem The Nurse. Sincerely, Mohammad

I am pleased to know that you have read all my posted poems.This is perhaps what has built an image of my personality and instigated your remarks that it would be interesting to talk to me in person. I am honored. Perhaps that day will come. In todays world distances have become meaningless. In a way you are right about what makes our soul. Soul is the animating and vital principle in humans credted with the faculties of thought, action and emotions and often concerned as an immaterial entity. Soul may be virtuous and idealistic or evil, wicked and immoral.Islam, Christianity and Judaism talk about purity of soul that elevates you to the level of understanding God. Budhaism talks about such purity taking you to Nirvana. The fact is that purity of soul is achieved by commanding your heart and mind. I hope you find my answer satisfactory. Best regards. Sincerely, Mohammad
