'just makes want to get up on a stage somewhere and rant off
some of my own thinking.. you know , i think i will. very nice free form...' LITKICKS
'I like art that is for the sake of art, and I also like art
that questions the establishment. I also like art in which the artist reaches out blindly groping for something new and different.
This poem seems to incorporate all of those elements and offers a powerful statement about not only poetry today but about
society in general.' REDPENCIL.NET

SO true.. theyve lost
faith in it cause theyve lost it in themselves, it is dead for them , so it must be dead for everyone.,

SO COOL!' E-POET FORUMS |
'Hmmm...I found myself very receptive to this poem after a few
read-throughs - I felt the piece trying to hold me at arms length for my initial perusal - it kind of clanked like heavy duty
industrial machinery - didn't want me to hear it speak, just wanted to portay noise - but I persevered. I am glad I did -
it masquerades as a solid, unmoving piece but there is something in the lyric which appealed to me eventually - like there
is something about space, or spaces in general that don't want you to get too close - like some lines don't wish to be read
between. I think the austere styling behind the work makes me want to invade it - like space, or spaces, it needs to be explored.
Interesting work.' // 'really intriguingly cool piece. im still sort of going through it--had to re-read it a couple times
(definitely a plus). the last line and the first word (or series of letters) really added a cool twist for me. completely
refreshed by your style, as always. love your originality and fearless formality (or maybe its informality :)' // 'Your style
is unique and intriguing. It draws you in and forces you back to read again and delve deeper. And that can't be a bad thing.'
// 'One word....Brilliant' ECTOPIA
'This was so good it made me feel bad. Dammit envy, and worship....NOOOO!!!!!!!!

The Fugitive
'Makes me think about all those artists who where chastised, hated,
even, by their contemporaries - makes me think how far ahead of their time they must have been - I think being so anachronistic
would have been such a torturous thing to endure - What kind of life is that for an artist, creating all these great things
but never seeing people appreciate their worth - you would go to your death believing you were a failure - terrible. What
about poor Leonardo? He missed his boat by about four centuries - although a lot of his work was appreciated in his lifetime,
so I suppose there is a difference but it must be so frustrating having all those great ideas and not being able to implement
them. A very thoughtful piece of work - made me think anyway.' // 'You have such a unique and bewildering style and vision.......Your
poetry is never boring or mundane......I enjoy your work so much.....Thanks......I think this is brilliant!' ECTOPIA
'Great, just wonderful. The first time through I just enjoyed the words, but the
last line threw me off. Then a closer read made me think more and smile at the end.' ABOUT.POETRY

Where Are the Champions?
'Great politicians are those who lead a country, its people,
for the best of his nation...without thinking of money for himself, nor power for himself, nor fame for himself...one who
is not greedy....but these "real" leaders, are usually killed by the bad ones. I remember in Brazil (where I was born) there
was a hero (today he is a hero, but he was killed by the bad ones), who fought for the people, for the children who were being
forced to work in the mines, etc...They even made a movie about him. His name is Chico Mendes. These are the real leaders.
Where can we find one?
Great write!' // 'Very enjoyable.' HITANGEL'S WORLD OF POETRY

'this is interesting.
I was thinking art first that I didn't like the syntax/rhythm of this, but then I thought about it a little and decided that
this is a well crafted piece. The syntax/rhythm suit the topic of the poem well.' // 'yes...this is well crafted! The rhythm is fun. The story and the way it was told was read with delight,
and the ending...loved...' // 'Yes,
interesting, unique, style that deserves more than one or two reads. Gets better with each read.' // 'lol--really great. "The most important - the mind - rests in
a museum glass-case." how GREAT is that! as always, im totally perplexed and completely awe-struck by your poems.' ECTOPIA
Sorry, you can't stop a spam
'I so agree
with this. Spam is out of control. Telemarketers, the other bane of society, (although I just lump them into one category)
are finally getting some controls put on them. But, spam it just goes on and on. I can understand companies wanting to advertise
their products but after you've received about 50 from the same company you'd think they'd get a clue you don't want their
products. I think this is like mousetraps - we need to build bigger and better spaminators. And the mail! How many trees went
down for that garbage?' SOULSTARZGALAXY
'Must admit,
I was thinking about that sketch - I love Monty Python! I cannot stand media hype, cannot stand commerciality - especially
when it rears its ugly head connecting to the arts - I cannot stand the way newspapers only tell us what governments want
us to know, I cannot stand propaganda - or anything where greedy multinationals actually look for weaknesses in us ordinary
folk, and then attempt exploit those weaknesses. Big Brother is alive and well...but now works in advertising - more money
in that than being a faceless dictator. Oh, and I hate bureaucracy too. A good poem to set all ones gripes off.' ECTOPIA
'I like the message you are conveying in this poem. And I must
agree that advertising in all of its putrid forms has spiraled out of control. Every day we are assailed by heaps & heaps
of advertising. No matter what medium you choose--TV,internet, radio, newspaper--it's impossible to escape! Maybe you could
make this piece even stronger if you include some creative methods of combating all the materialism/consumerism that perpetuates
& empowers the spammers & other rogue advertisers!
Good stuff Plo.' REDPENCIL.NET
