In The Well Comments

I am continually surprised by the way most people read a poem bordering on perfection and grade it a 3 out of 10. Ignorance flourishes before our very eyes.

Read this before and read it again today and if anything I admire his storytelling skill even more than I did before. He knows the value of suspense- -be it from a rope or a story-line.

Its was a suspense poem, and the end was delightful

His taut lines echo the tautness of that rope and the darkness that must have lain over that little boy's heart at the stench and horror that inhabited that well. Incredibly well written.

Thoughtful writing enjoyable.....

well written poem; I loved the twist in the end...

Finally, a poem by a member that is actually good. The only one I've read so far.... very clear images, beautifully executed.

Beautiful, poem of mastery. I am unsure completely about your use of then. I will have to study it more. I liked this poem, please read one of mine.

A beautiful poem on growing up experience.

Saving a life is really a pride..glory to the Lord well writ nice

This is my favourite style of poetry; easy, simple technique combined with fabulously sensuous language in the telling of an experience. Thanks!
