Peace Was A River Comments

seamus, i'm just starting to read your poetry. i became aware of you from comments you made on a laurie van der hart poem. for now i just want to note i'm impressed by the large cupboard of words you have to pick from. the phrase from this poem that stands out for me is cocoon-muffled giggles. nice! it summons the scene and is consistent with the scene. on to more of your poems, glen kappy

Most wonderful penning, soulful, serene, for a moment my feet were in the river's mud and I was lost in time. A poem with an amazing energy, it heals the eyes, riches the mind and eased my soul, thank you!

I am delighted to discover an excellent poet here on Poemhunter. Such memorable lines, a masterly command over language, a deft depiction of mood. I am so glad that Neal who has been quietly reading my poems and commenting is himself such a superior poet. This poem rates a 10!

A very fine contemplative poem. The images are sharply drawn and the poem's rhythm matches the subject perfectly. Think I'll put this in my favourites' list. It is one to re-read often. I note the line with the embers of my fire and it recalls a poem I wrote about Virgil's 10th Eclogue. It is called Ite Domum Saturae! and is on PH if you'd care to read it. Virgil's poem contains that most famouus of lines Love cpnquers all and we must yield to Love by the way.
