Darfur

This is a great write, but how horrible these atrocities in Darfur. I can never understand how these things can still go on in this day and age, especially in the eyes of the world. Well Done O. Best wishes and love to you and yours. Lyz. XX

Very aptly placed in the season of scaring people,it puts fear in perspective. excellent poem Seabhac

As always you have some critically brilliant lines that slice away any mediocrity for the reader... I particularly liked.. "Dissolution of a deeper hue A light fallen from the puzzle of your face A leaf dry and brittle circles the dust Where withers the standing grain Taunting eyes on barren sticks" (Though I admit to having to read the 3rd line a few times to make sense... a comma between leaf & dry, & brittle & circles would help?... says me by no means queen of punctuation! There were a couple of other grammatical spots you could tweek, but you know I love your work, so it would not matter too much for me) Well done with this. Cheers Anni~ "When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace". H.H. the Dalai Lama

Great poem! Again, you make justice to compromised poetry. I just have written, inadvertently, a poem on the same theme, where I also use the word "brittle", at the start. I guess it is because that's the word that qualifies worldy life the better, or I would say the worse. Well done! Sincerely, Hugo

Oh so strongly said O. What pains take place while we stand by and rave at the beauty of the earth, our nature of natures birth, where does one turn for help while greed directs not love and understanding, just lack of human dignity, may they have nightmares all their lives, they cannot all be psychopaths? Well put Barry, your pen draws blood on the map of human existence. Love Ann of Norway
