It's a good idea, though not historically correct. Nazi soldiers were not groomed or brainwashed from birth. They were formed much later in their development... most as teenagers, many already in their 20s. It is a sad note on humanity how evil can so manipulate an entire generation. :thumbsup: Tho...

The fundamental problem with the various great image changes suggested throughout this thread is.. this water and ice is part of the high glaciers, their essences... and it is thrumming, rushing flowing past. the sirens song was to describe the feeling you have when you stand to close to this kind o...

I like this tale. All around are high rises, dark and empty excpet for a few illumiunated windows. Why are these people awake? indicates you have already realized that the sun has set, making the statement in the last stanza a bit awkward in context and time. Perhaps: The lights go dark one by one,...

Thanks for the input...

I was/am trying to imply that it is the person experiencing the images

It is sad that Richard will not be able to fulfill his promise. I've bumped this to see if anyone can come up with some constructive responses to this piece. I think it has a great deal of potential. So totally just some thoughts, maybe helpful maybe not. I'm no expert on form or much of anything p...

Nice work poets, I'm gonna take a chance and just type something in...since we have a theme here. You’re trapped You’re trapped aren’t you Death is a sly thief Death has stolen from you The opportunity to save The hopes that have died The loves that have died Your friends in the war (with themselves...

Now this a rather more negative than usual message for me, but it is only to directly and firmly address the above issues, not so much because I am upset about this blah blah blah of his/hers, but it would be best that I deal with this here instead of snorple wandering off to pick on another user wh...

You make me chuckle Jeanne, you seem so innocent and so wrapped up in political correctness not willing to see evil or unpleasantness. When we project out persona it is often with words, by attitude, the way we dress and other means. For instance Graeme presents a picture as a pussy cat held in the...

14. Finally, consider the following, written many years ago by William Carlos Williams to a young poet: “…read, read, read, all the examples of verse you admire, and some you do not admire…but don’t expect quick success…keep writing, and use your head and your eyes and concentrate just as much as yo...

Cool (no pun intended :wink:) I enjoyed how the poem evolved...and I too like the last line. I've never seen a glacier or the large ice floating in the sea....well other than on the cinema. It amazes me how when far removed from these kind of scenes, it may be impossible to bring this image (the on...

wow
