Comment from Spike the second
Wonderful poem
And what a great subject. I know worldwide sonar has been a big problem with whales and dolphins beaching in sheer confusion> I thought our only problem now was North Koreans and terrorists and as far as I know North Korea are not likely to send subs all around the world and terrorists don't have them. I think our navies (here in the UK also) still believe they are in some sort of James Bond story.
Best of luck in the contest. I think you stand a great chance.

Comment from Curtis Hatch
The poem is beautifully and eloquently written. The imagery is excellent and helps the mind's eye to see beyond the words. It is an exceptional work, and the graphics add to the allure of the piece.
Godspeed,
Curtis

Comment from Spitfire
Wow! Your notes put this on a par with interpretative literature. Impressive movement from dark to light and then back again with focus on the whales. This is more than description, but a well-crafted universal message. Easy to see you are in love with your island.

Wow back to you spits! Thank you very much! Finally managed to wrest a magic '6' from you, hmm? I'm so delighted that you liked this one - a weird prompt, but after a while rather fun to run with it.
Blessings,
Sharyn

Comment from GWHARGIS
Despite the rules and many regulations of this poem you managed to get something very meaningful and interesting out of it. The comparison of the Pineapple and the light and dark was very interesting. Nice job.

What a fascinating review! :)
Comment from AprilShower
It seems we can make even beautiful places ugly. Animals often suffer from mankind's lack of care. This poem covers it all. Hawaii is a beautiful place. I like the shapes within your poem.

Comment from c_lucas
A wierd form of poetry, I will leave in the box. A unique structural poem with a smooth flow of words, making for a good read. In the late forties>earlies fifties, atom bombs were tested in isolated South Seas island, even having live troops within a few miles from Zero site. They needed the cold war to make nuclear weapons popular. Very well written. Good luck in your contest.
