Progressive Silence by R Bennett Okerstrom (8)
"You're getting more and more obscure. It's a good direction for you." -- Talon.
"Below the surface, this is deep, this line "If you are wet, Then you do not fear the rain" is outstanding! View my work at: http://stories.com/authors/suzqmg" -- Susan Graham.
"I will check out your work. Thanks for reading mine! I like the line you refer to. It is one of my favorites." -- R. Bennett.
"Some of the catch phrases (ie 'deaf ears' and 'senseless violence') distracted me from your message, but I think the brilliance of your poem lies in the title and in the stanza that says "Intrustion from within. Closure from afar. Starting over never works." That is extremely powerful!" -- Mia Angello, WI.
"Thanks Mia. You are quite perceptive. I appreciate your positive reviews!" -- R. Bennett .
"Starting over never works. Amen." -- The Reviewer.
"i know what it's like to be a ghost to the rest of the world...even the ones you love. this poem is so beautiful, and so true.."i can hear you in a whisper, but you can't even hear me screaming.." keep writing, i love your works." -- kat, Aust..
"Again...you are so kind, Kat. Thanks!" -- R. Bennett.

Untitled -- 1989 by R Bennett Okerstrom (14)
"Powerful and intense, like it very much! View my work at; http://stories.com/authors/suzqmg" -- Susan Graham.
"You can thank Robert Smith for being so creative. This is just one of his many, many masterpieces." -- R. Bennett.
"You are also very creative. You've written some masterpieces yourself. I have really enjoyed reading them. Has Robert Smith influenced your writing?" -- JM.
"I have many influences, but Robert Smith has been one of the more influential people when it comes to writing. " -- R. Bennett.
"Disintegration is a great CD and Untitled is a great tune. Another one of my favorite Robert Smith masterpieces is "Pictures of You"" -- JM.
"I'm patiently awaiting a new release...." -- R. Bennett.
"Is there something in the works? You know a very wise person reminded me recently that patience is a virtue." -- JM.
"W. Axl Rose once said, "All you need is just a little patience."" -- R. Bennett.
"And in the words of Pete Townsend, "Patience is Priceless". The wisdom of yet another bull. By the way, Robert Smith is a bull as well. " -- JM.
"A bull? I guess you are referring to the Zodiac? So that would make them all a Taurus? I don't understand the correlation JM. I'm an Aries. A Ram as you would say." -- R. Bennett.
"The correlation is the Taurus and patience. Bulls are well known for their patience among other things. So you're a Ram? Very interesting. Full of energy, ambition and enthusiasm, a natural born leader. There's so much more but not enough space to list it all." -- JM.
"Yes, we Bulls are patient ... to a degree ... and Rams are also forceful and dynamic, this shines through in your work" -- Judith.
"This song makes me so very sad! :-(" -- JM.
"Whenever I am sad, the brilliant mind of Robert Smith can pick me back up again." -- R. Bennett.

"this poem is absolutely brilliant. it should be read by every person whose ever picked up pen and paper." -- miles, new york, ny, usa.
"I've had this poem on my wall for the past 2 years or so, I had stumbled across it online way back when, when I was looking for something else. Strangely enough, despite its darkness, it's helped me overcome many down points of life. I honestly have no explanation for it. I don't do depressing literature, but I have something for this poem, it hits me in a different spot..." -- Hande Barutcuoglu, Waterville, ME.

Jim's Lament by A J Magy (5)
"Ancient creature, ancient pain, intriguing poem" -- EADVD.

"Hey kids! Don't try to figure this one. It's my favorite part of a soliloquey (spelling) I wrote for a vampire in an RPG. Granted I could have refrained from posting it here, and spared you all the time wasted overthinking it; but where's the fun it that?!" -- AJ Magy.
" #1 Title: Acceptable. #2 Spelling and grammatical errors: Fettid has only one �t.� #3 Opinion: Murky, terribly difficult to understand, though it obviously isn�t a happy poem. #4 Suggestions: Before the poem begins I�d suggest letting the reader, who may not know dead languages as well as you or I, know that the Latin words that you use are the very same that you then follow with in English, so that they don�t waste his/her time hunting down a Latin to English dictionary. " -- JA St.George.
"See? I told you not to overthink it. You poor sad bastard." -- AJ Magy.

The Night by Jessie Finn (1)

Slipping by Brandon Cummins (3)
"I think this would make good song lyrics...with the "if it's too hard to say"..."If you fall my way" whole section as the chorus....just an idea...i like this one a lot too...maybe more than the last one i said was my favorite =)" -- stephanie.
""Picture a photograph" would make more sense than a picture of a photograph. I`ve read most of your poems now, and think they`re OK, but am starting to be frustrated by your inconsistent use of punctuation and capitals. These things not only help the reader, but can add to the meaning. Sorry if that sounds pedantic." -- Peter Rivendell.

"I liked this one so much. My favorite part was when you said "you're coming but always leaving". That whole ending part actually was great." -- Melissa Gauthier, picayune , ms, united states.


Find Me A Place by Sue (Sooz) Simpson (8)
"Sooz, I like this poem very much. It reads to me as not only your voice, but also the voice of so many others and myself. If I were to find you a place, I would ask you to look within yourself and find your own relationship with your Creator. If you long for this ilk of world, it is your Creator's longing crying out from within you. Attune yourself to this cry and let everything of earthly value fall away, and there, in the midst of your silence, you will find this world as it has been inside you always, waiting to blossom. From here you will begin to find the ways to let others into your new life of bliss and the seeds of hope will fall from your hands, spreading love wherever you should journey." -- Branson Storm, TEXAS, USA.
"I think your review is far more beautiful than my poem, thank-you. I don't like this one, but I'm glad that you do. Still looking for my 'place' :-) Thanks." -- Sooz, Dalton, England, Cumbria.
"Sooz I too like this one and agree with Branson Storm. The sentiments expressed here are from the heart, but it is your spirit that is reaching out wanting to fill the void. The only place to find that kind of love, love that is unconditional and true is within your own sense of spirituality. This poem has "Agape" as it's theme, a universal longing expressed so beautifully with your words. For me this one is a solid ten. " -- Robert (Monte) Montesino, Hollywood, Florida, USA.
"Really? thanks Monte, and yet to me this is one of the pieces I least like. It's always the way that when I really dislike something there's always someone out there who likes it and when I've done something I'm really proud of and think 'Yep that's not bad' it goes down like a lead balloon. Thanks for liking it. " -- Sooz, Dalton-in-Furness, England, Cumbria.
"Yea, Really Sooz, I do! If I knew how to make one of those smiley face things with my computer, I would make one now for you!!!" -- Monte, USA.
"Thank you, for future reference :-) colon (or semi colon if you want a saucy wink) hypen open bracket ;-)" -- Sooz, Dalton-in-Furness, England, Cumbria.
"Olde Sergei�s Review: Exquisite" -- Cam Davis.
"You are a man of few words my friend. Thank you. and thanks to Cam. " -- Sooz, Dalton-in-Furness, England, Cumbria.

"I loved it. It's a love poem, yet i didn't want to vomit, in fact it made me jealous. I hope you enjoy your evian water, while I shall search for my own bottle of water. " -- Matt Conley, Topeka, KS, USA..
