Slaves Who Painted Dreams Comments

Hi Frank, Wow what a poem. Excellently written but full of sorrow. It is really sad. It is a hard poem to read, it is filled with such sadness. Take care.

Frank, this has the feel of beat poetry and, as such, contains the neccessary energy needed to get its theme up front. There is a nakedness to this, yet it is clothed in the most beautiful terms, as if it were a half hearted attempt to hide the welts on the body of it. So many try to express their opinions of the horrors that man can, sometimes, stoop to. Many fail, because they lack the ability to express themselves without diving into the swamp of cliche and banality. You avoid this. You treat this as if it were a plauge (it is: a pox on the art) and present us with poetry that expresses its outrage whilst showing us a beauty in the aesthetics you employ. This site has grown in stature thanks to your contributions.
