December 2018 Showcase..[ Poems To Share, Of And With P H Poets & Readers;" Mixed Bag Of Sweets" ] Comments

A Mixed Bag of Sweets from indefatigable Bri (who else can take such love's labour, not yet lost) . A complete meal, if not, at least a complete dessert, for sure.

A very fine poems are included in this Showcase.It is different from earlier Showcases in that the poems are chosen from all genres-classical, modern and contemporary.Readers should not miss the chance of reading the best chosen poems.

Much awaited showcase is finally out with some fine poems. For some you have advise and for others you did fantastic analysis. Great work. Looking forward for New Year's first showcase with changed format.

This is indeed a mixed bag...... a carefully chosen concoction of poems sweeter than candies! So how long do you plan to be in North Carolina? In winter, sitting near the burning hearth, sipping hot tea, you can compose hot poems. Hope you won't fail to display the show case every month!

Brian, it really is a very good and interesting showcase. I liked most of the poems and especially classic ones. Robert Frost is one of my favorites. I translated his poem Fire and Ice into the Russian language. I appreciate Pablo Neruda as well. But the poem here seems to me is not an original, but just an English translation. I couldn’t find his Spanish text for possible translation.

On your note of Mediterranean Girl's War Phobia: (4) One thing, I think all the conscious people of the world except those crazy leaders know well about the dreadful impacts of wars, weapons, violences, crimes, corruptions, and all wrong doings, ..... for these the word humanity has been lost from dictionary and there has set the word inhumanity, as a poet how do you take those all?

On your note of Mediterranean Girl's War Phobia: (3) And in the poem I did not do any exaggeration, in these fields whatever had happened and are happening on those I only have tried to write something, I hope reading the poem every one will easily understand

On your note of Mediterranean Girl's War Phobia: (2) I'm very shocked for those tortured, oppressed, deprived ones and for the trodden humanity...... I want those curses should be stopped forever, I think humans should not make weapons to kill, destroy but they should make something to befriend, love mankind, ......

On your note of Mediterranean Girl's War Phobia: (1) Mediterranean Girl is a symbolic figure, and wars stated in this poem along with violences, crimes, corruptions, aggression, oppression, destruction, murder, massacre worldwide every now and then are manmade curses, the evidences of humans crazy, distorted mentality for which like Mediterranean Girl thousands of innocent boys and girls; civil men and women are losing their lives, properties, relatives and are being deprived of all,

I go from a mixed bag of Halloween candy, to a mixed bag of poems, dandy. Soon I move East for six months at least, to give N. Carolina a taste of this poetic beast. .... in excellent verse you have described your December 2018 Showcase, it's actually a thanks receiving task, ..... thanks

Great work indeed, it has a positive side you do to make an interaction like something, thanks for sharing the December 2018 Showcase with us here in PoemHunter

Another beautiful showcase, Bri. I have read all the above titled poems and are indeed marvelous. The inclusion of classic poems in this showcase is great. Wishing you wonderful moments in N. Carolina.
