SHADOWS

SHADOWS Shadows of a man Dancing in my mind The man I used to be Shadows of fears lurking behind Waiting for their time Shades of innocence fading away Dark visions of another day Shadows of heredity Quiet and still Patiently waiting For The kill

J.B. Longo-GeremiaThank you,

J.B. Longo-Geremia Thank you, Ian. I deleted most of my submissions in FORUM [General Poetry] but will attempt one more post, "Resurrection," a rather "harsh" piece. FORUM seems to be the graveyard of lost poetry LOL joe

I have been going into the lonely poem place quite a lot, and I think that one of our tasks as people that think they can write etc: is to visit that place and make a comment on those poems there,as I can only see that this would improve the overall picture of our group here, I even found the odd one of mine in there LOL, this is where I found a few of yours and started to comment on each one as came across them(started at the bottom) Some of the ones I have commenyed on have come back and are now writing a lot better instead of fading away as they have been doing. Please don't worry that they say nothing on the poems just check how many have read it bu the number of hits they are getting,it is plain lazyness sometimes, and I think that some poets become arrogant in their ways, Ok my freind you just keep writuing there. I put one on the other day and I had put the same poem twice, but have written it in the way you write, Stacked and the usual way that I write to see which was received best, still waiting,...la la la You take care now, Yours Ian.T
