Amazon River Comments

Nice poem. Something specially attracts you to the poem

I stopped by to wonder what one knew of the Amazon who lived so far away. Ah, surprise, your Amazon was not so far at that. Adeline

very very good.I agree with Marijo, you are a great poet.

What a great poet you are. I could learn something from you. The imagery is so vivid in every way. Thank you for sharing this lovely composition.

A finely crafted brave and powerful poem. I felt I was in a stranglehold of some beast in the lush Amazonian forest while reading and feeling the emotions from which it emanated. I am certainly in for a feast reading your poetry in the middle of the night through the earlier morning hours - my insomnia is a blessing... Truly splendid. Your biography was very interesting indeed. You are, as I suspected, a well established poet. I was interested in all the translations of poetry you do. An old school friend of mine who is a nun and curator of the English Cemetery in Florence - Julia Holloway Bolton would certainly approve and enjoy your poetry; and I believe you would enjoy hers. Just google her name. I have an article on one of her websites entitled 'Soul's Green Dell' about Illnesses of the Mind...Julia is a medieval scholar. She is well published and writes so beautifully about so many wonderful things. Later tonight, I shall enjoy reading your poems - and pondering over them. Thank you for sharing them with all of us lesser poets. A bientot! Philippa (Montreal, Canada)

Dear Joseph, Thanks for your kind comments..Your poem AMAZON RIVER is very poetic and possesses a very rare quality found among modern poets-ie, it has a narrative voice.I will make it my business and find more time to comment on some of your poems in a couple days. Enoch john

Joseph, ur poems are very very powerful. But I don't know the historical background of this poem...so a little confused and unable to fully appreciate the content.

AMAZON RIVER is the great around the globe, I enjoyed this poem. Nicely composed with due care and imagery is magnificent. Love it.10.

I felt drawn into your deep forest and swallowed by biblical history. Wow, that was quite a trip, Joseph. Best Wishes, Marilyn
