Moving, Gun! You really hit the spot, right now. The way I have to let my mind go to follow you, it's exactly what I need to get me out of the maze. You're a very compelling poet when you're hitting your stide. Loved it, girl!

Gungalo, A loving home for the ages and in this one you outdid yourself by mastering the creativeness and inventiveness of the new style. This new rhyming style is very unique and very illuminative where your rhymes are neither forced, labored or strained but rather unique in being couplets adding a tecet in the last line of each verse. Your rhythm flowed smoothly throughout your poem making it easy for one to read your poem so clearly. Thank you for sharing a posting this for others and may the Lord be with you always.
Alex

I like this poem. It's very meaningful. It has a fascinating subject, with a profound positive message, and outlook. You shared apart of yourself in this poem, versed very well. It was very moving to read. Inspiring. I would have liked to have given this one a six, but alas, I'm all out. Exceptional work, and many blessings.

I want your feet to tread,
not on my soul, but instead
across the waters of mind ...
down deep where poetry's bred.

I need you to feel my soft spots,
mingle within my forget-me-nots,
to squeeze into the places
that hide my reflected thoughts.

these two verses say it all in your special way
Very unique concept of what poetry means to you
Stunning presentation
Best of luck in the contest

This work has reached the exceptional level

Well you know I often try and walk either hand in hand with you or try the spring waters of your mind with the tip of my toe with my reviews and I know I cause a few ripples here and there but I don't think I could ever pigeon hole your personality nor your written work, as to never embroil myself in a cliché, because your work and style never becomes that... one of the many reasons why I come back for more, time and time again. Your mind and pen in liquid ink though is like a cascading waterfall, sprinkling a million splashed drops of thought down in to the body of creativity.

This is such a twist coming from you, I was looking for sexual clues and they were all there, but it was poetry that was caressing you. You are an amazing poet with your aaba rhyme and such sensory imagery...fantastic. I have no sixes left, but this deserves one.

First of all, I love the title of this poem, Gungalo - it is what every single soul should do, and you do so perfectly! I know no one who writes as you do, and I think I would recognize your poetry from among thousands of poems. (Have I told you that already?)

I am SURE your poetry is an extension of you - that's different than what I always object to - people thinking it's our real life - what it IS, is my heart, my soul, my life experience and my observations, in the way I perceive things or I think the protagonist perceives - and that is what you do so amazingly - your view is unique and always beautiful, my friend! This poem is a shining example of that - "Listen, I wanna take ya to sea, deep into the why of me..."

    Thanks so very much Dawn for a beautiful review. Nah you never told me that before.
reply by Dawn Munro on 24-Apr-2014
    Well, I should have - I've thought it for a long time! That's the sign of a truly great writer, in my opinion. You have a distinctive style, all your own - beautiful. It shows up even when you write to a specific form - it's your view on life and love, I think. :)

    Sigh Dawn you are really awesome.

Good end rhyming. Good description that creates a clear image in my mind. Good alliteration with through/the...to/tread...down/deep...soft/spots...makes/me. Good rhythm and flow. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.
