Comment from Tommy Francesco
I really loved this poem. The use of concise phrases give it a sense of rhythm and flow, almost like a chant or a mantra. Overall, this poem feels like a meditation on the cyclical nature of life, from birth to death and everything in between. Great job!

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Well, I liked the author's notes explanation better than the abstract poem for sure. I did not understand the piece and only got a glimpse of what the meanings were by reading the author's notes at the end. Thank you for sharing and may you be blessed with understanding and birth on another planet since the one we live on is all we have!

Comment from susand3022
Hi Lea,
Could that be why they call it Hell on Earth? Is Hell really Earth?... is Earth really Hell? Could we all be sitting in Purgatory and not even know it? That's a crazy question, isn't it? Some souls surely suffer here more than others do.
An interesting and introspective poem, good luck in the contest!
Susan :)

I would say that Earth is the health we speak of Is this place for our souls to learn and perfect. The concept of original sin in having to pay for it is a bunch of c***. We're born to make mistakes we're supposed to make mistakes it's how we learn by being impacted by the events around that mistake. So yes how is the Earth we speak of there's a phrase in The Bible says yeah though I walk through The Valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil. It speaks of the h*** we go through in our corporeal life on this planet gotta say I'm with you when you're done come on home. Thanks and have a great day!
Comment from Ulla
I will admit that when I read this, I understood all the words, yet I didn't understand a thing. Until I read your notes. Then I think I understood what you were trying to say. It's definitely a no rules poem you've written. Good luck. Ulla:)))

Thank you for your review and your comments are very helpful I appreciate it yes this is definitely an experimental kind of poem completely left field from how I normally write which is descriptive and full of words in this case I wanted to try something different to see how it would be received and that had a lot of very interesting and constructive comments all for the good thank you very much and I hope you have a great and fabulous day!
Comment from Brandon Clark
I really like the conceptualization on this one! Cleary describes the "bigger" moments of a life cycle for those fortunate enough to make the entire journey.
Very best of luck to you in the contest,
Brandon

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Oh my God, are we related? I have no idea where you got the urge to write this piece. It meanders like a dry river bed in the spring when flooded. Do I understand each line. Unhardly, however that said I enjoyed it. welcome to FanStory. WE had two family living 800 miles north of the border in B.C. recently moved to North Carolina. Both were Smith families. Brothers.

nicely done mediation on life, the universe and everything. Short, powerful lines with minimalist vocabulary packs quite a punch. I especially liked the line

Comment from harmony13
I found the words of this poem to be eccentric, descriptive and creative.
Thank you for the author's notes - I read the poem again and saw a
verbal consistency in each stanza. I liked how the author led the reader to the last line! The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome!

Comment from John Ciarmello
This is an interesting presentation. I was a bit lost until I read the notes and went back to read a second time. Your lack of words presents a style of interpretation that could vary from reader to reader and sentence to sentence. It was intriguing and fun to try to decipher. Best, JohnC

Excellent John thank you so much I'm glad you liked it it was an experiment to see how well it would fly is it Definitely left field for my normal writing Style I like to have words contradict each other and smash each other around if that makes any sense. I thank you for your Comments and taking your time to review my poem thank you very much have a great evening!

It's not too bad really. I've lived eight decades now, and discovered that there's a balance to how life works, if there wasn't it could get pretty boring. Bea written my friend, an excellent post, blessings Roy

Thank you very much I'm glad you found it interestit's definitely offshoot from the way I normally write an experiment just to see how it will go over I too have not seen this sort of writing style but I want to try something different to see how it went over and all the comments have received have been respectful and helpful including yours. Thank you again and I hope you have a wonderful and fabulous day!
