Comment from Janelle
Not sure if I've got this right, but I am also from the vinyl age and have had many a time when music can either brought me down or heaved me up, if and when I heard a song that took me back to a significant time in my life and the memories came rushing in. This is a well paced poem with excellent rhythm and good presentation. Regards, Jan

Thank you for reviewing.
Comment from Pam (respa)
-The presentation is unusual with an almost neon blue, but I like it.
-Poem is well written about an interesting topic.
-The images you use of the old phonographs some of us remember are very good.
-Taking the phrase "Stuck in Stereo," combined with vinyl records, and the things that can happen to them after a lot of play is a good symbol for the heart of your poem.

Oh, this was marvelous. I rally loved the art work that you chose for your writing. I also thought the poem was exquisite, the font appearing like stars in a dark sky.

I guess some things of our past often come to haunt us and we are reminded of the memories. Well chosen words and imagery to convey your thoughts. Lovely picture. Faye

Comment from petalangela
Liked the way the words seems to just link beautifully
The poem is one of true feeling yesterday is never actually gone no matter what people say or think.
The layout was bright almost too bright but still readable so it did not detract

Wow! Your poem is amazing. I enjoyed reading it and it held my attention. Good alliteration of words vinyl, versions and distressed, decibels. I like your poem in its entirety and your artwork choice goes well with your poem.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Nice metaphor, Dallas...a "skipping stereo"... more than adequately coveys the ways in which our lives encounter little "hiccups" along the way at times. The skipping stereo, playing faulty reflections of our mind.
Life gets crazy once in a while -- spins out of control like a warped vinyl LP. However, as imperfect as that old vinyl is in quality compared to today's CD's and digital downloads, there is still nothing quite like the FEEL you get from that old vinyl. We wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world.
Excellent write, "D"... ~Dean

Nice poem. The skipping stereo is a reflection of your mind? I find life to be spinning out of control sometimes and this expresses those notions nicely. Thank you for sharing.

I admired your capturing the sense of discontent with your remarkable "stereo" metaphor. Your use of alliteration and "distortions" adds to the intensity of your message. Brava! -Joan

I cannot think of anything that would make your poem better. It was excellent.
You used figures of speech very well.
Thank you. I enjoyed reading your poem.
