I don't know if you read the forum but there were some nice comments on this poem there, Uriah.
you have been writing some outstanding poems lately, Uriah. this one is truly magnificent. you're on a roll now, man! keep it going! Jake
Uriah, this is truly great poetry. So well written and moving. What more could you ask for? Sincerely, Mary
This is truly amazing, Uriah! I can 'hear' you reading it. Absolutely the loveliest in realism! Nothing hidden behind weak metaphors...and the result: a powerful delivery!
this is full of images and violent words that begs a difference and i like it, a great piece of work your imagination has run riot Warm regards AJS
Magnificent! ! ! ! I could picture this being read in some smokey coffeehouse with a steady beat......I loved it Uriah! ! ! Amazing! ! ! !
ssssssss...you sizzle! Your writing reeks with sensation! You're HOT! ! Oh! ? ? forgive me, Uriah...I was having a spell of self-indulgence! 'The Universe Ever Evolving Into Violence' is a nice poem! Sorry...I must return to the very important business of self gratification which is highly recommended during spells of deep reflection! sssss...yes, yes...again! PLEASE! I know I'm over reacting...
Amazingly true and perfectly said. Sheer perfection of the world in which we now live! Great-great poem! Theodora Onken
I must have missed this the day you posted it, Uriah. It is probably the strongest poem you've posted and very tightly written. You have a poem of chaos but you didn't let the chaos take over your poem...if that makes sense. You, as poet, were in control all the time and that takes work in this kind of poem. Congratulations! I gave you a ten. Raynette
