Ashes Comments

One of the best wordsmiths on this site, you could pack in one line what it would take someone else an entire page. Long for the day of your return.

Wnderful piece of work.

An orderly and organized kind of poem. Wonderful poem

What a wonderful dialectic bit of poetry you have here created. I thoroughly enjoy it. From reading several of your poems I must compliment you as a wonderfully dauntless poet of the highest caliber. Beautiful writing! I truly look forward to reading many more of your masterpieces.

Ok two things here: 'each naked tick of living'- could I steal that line from you? Just kidding! It's a monumental line- I'm so in awe of you. Second thing- you could lose that last repetition of 'it took ashes..' if you are so inclined, because I think the line above is a better closing; 'the shore of tomorrow'; it's the perfect ending, to my way of thinking. Anyway it is a really beautiful piece of work, my hats off to you!

My Great Friend there is nothing quite so beautiful as seeing an open heart and a special honor to be invited to take a look.. Thank you for it.... I feel the powers of the love entwined in your artful telling and share the feelings with you in this one...... Thank you Eric for this one..... quite a painting

Though I tend not to like poems about the 'big subjects' I enjoy works by this poet for their imagy quality, structure, and seasoned outlook. The technique of repetition works very well in this case. Insistence can be very moving.
