This is excellent free verse, Mikey! I'm sorry I'm not reviewing your book at the moment because I think I'd enjoy it. A couple of the lines seem a bit strange - why refer to the wolf and then to your dog on the moon unless it is all mirrors, though I like the idea of the moon doffing its cap, LOL! Really enjoyed this. Pete :)

Hello, Mikey
Thank you for entering this competition.
I really enjoyed the opening line of your well crafted free verse poem
I stand at the ocean's door and bid the sea rise'
A super image
I also enjoyed
flying fish shy away'
A great visual piece that tells of the poets thought process.
Good luck
Trimple:)

I hope you win the contest with this one. I especially loved the last stanza. You speak for all poets, with such lyrical clarity, in this one. I also loved the use of the moon as allusion and your placing your dog there. Indeed, a poet can conjure the world in his/her imagination. It's good to be encouraged to know and own that.

Monarch of all I survey-line from a poem by W. Cowper, Solitude of Alexander Selkirk. As the poet you control all, powerful feeling! Well chosen words and imagery to convey your thoughts. Enjoyable read and good luck in the contest. Faye

I love the poem. I can travel this world and the worlds beyond it while writing poetry. I do not need dope. Writing is a high. I can pour out bad feelings and the burden is less. I can pour out happy feelings and I feel more joy. I can fly or I can hide. Great work.

this is an interesting read, Michael, you did an excellent job writing this free verse poem about the thoughts of the poet that grow until he thinks he has dominion over everything. I enjoyed reading it. good luck in the contest.

I don't know what to say. I don't care for free verse. You didn't write about any of the forbidden topics that's for sure. Except you did mention your dog. Not sure what you did write about! LOL Writing I would guess. Good entry. xx Nancy
