Cool. Are you still doing a dark poetry multi-authored book? It has to be poetry right? :P Okay. Let me know, this sounds like fun, or rather scary. :P

    Yes, my plans are still to publish a book of my own dark poetry. I'm going to have rama devi do the editing.
    Thanks again for reading.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Another beautifully chilling poem! It really expands upon how our words and actions can stick with us forever. This poem uses very clever word choice and structure to obtain just the right amount of ominousness. Keep up the remarkable work!

    I'll try to do my very best to always do that very thing, WriteSines!
    Thanks again for going through and picking out poems at random to review.
    It's been a while since I've received any reviews for this, or the last one you were kind enough to review for that matter.
    Thank you for the six stars too. Those I never take for granted.
    Warmest wishes...

Hello, Dean,

This one reads like a warning to those who cage their thoughts, consigning themselves to an eternity of restlessness. (Hmmm, I better start writing faster!:)

You use great word choices to present a dark image and the picture compliments the piece nicely....creepy, to say the least!

I also appreciate the solid enjambments and rhymes you use in the telling of this tale...words to the wise, my friend.

Great job with this one, Dean,
Bill

Such beautifully crafted poetry, wrapped with gnarled hands, that rhyme regardless of the grime, and wait for a waking reveal to show the danger to be real. Those pages then, that quill lets out, to lurk about. Well done.

Dean, I wonder what will happen to the many pieces of poetry that I have posted on this site. Far reaching in depths of darkness only to swing around to happy moments. Spiritual poetry allowing people to look at and into my persona. The love of my Savior is define in those words. My kids and friends have no interest in these poems.

This great poem brought forth these musings. Thanks for sharing this very creative poem,,,,,,,,Jim

This is a great opening poem for Shifting Shadows Dean. Love the title and I love the opening line - Thoughts should not be kept in cages - I'll have to get my dark thoughts going, I like this concept and enjoyed this read.

Well, the poem is truly dark. Arcane chants create the desired effect. The horrifying thoughts can emerge from any direction so, sharks are near. Effective presentation.

Poe must be all aquiver with the beauty of your poetry! I can see him standing with you when you are channeling these weird, wonderful stories. The words and images flow so freely (although I know the work that must go before the flow). thanks! Caroline

Very nice. A surprise that it was death. I'm new to this. Are others adding to your book? Is it part of a contest. I liked the last verse where you said, My quill lies still till the morrow. Will he be prepared to write more?

    Hahaha, well, if you can write in the afterlife, then my answer would be "yes", he will write more, Judvan. I'm not sure that's possible, however, as he is dead. The "Tufted Bed" I'm referring to is his plushly lined coffin.

    As far as adding to the book, if you go to my portfolio and find the book, you'll see at the bottom of the prologue a number of tabs. One of those tabs is labeled "Add Chapter" When you have a poem you feel you'd like to enter in the book, simply click that tab and post your poem as you normally would. It will then appear as a chapter in the book, Shifting Shadows: A Collection of Dark Poetry.

    Are you new to the site? if so, welcome, and thanks for taking an interest in my work. If there is anything you need help with or have questions about, please, don't hesitate to ask..

    Always with respect
