"I thoroughly enjoyed this, especially the melon collie moons. I knew a girl like that once, in the back seat, real puppies by the light of the moon - but I digress. The somber tone of this speaks to a dour future, sad to say, thanks Shawn."

"I think that is an African name maybe someplace in Uganda? (HA) Cheers Shawn and a celestial treat for sure, thanks."

"What she gave up to trust you perhaps? You scalawag! Cheers, Bro!"

"Great eco-piece Shawn, I wasn't sure where it was going at first and made a note about kudzu being the devine death vine - now I can't use it since mentioned later in the piece (I do recall the Jesus face in the kudzu vine a couple years back). Much enjoyed as always and thinking I re-post our "Graffiti" collab now, cheers!"

"Time and old age is the great neutralizer of all things plus and minus, and may we be found worthy in the scales when the balance beam holds sway, cheers!"

"Here it comes (the threatening storm) and we all know the cool breath of the announcing wind. Wonderfully developed Shawn and much impressed to with the metaphor too, thanks"

"What happens when there are only zombies I wonder? ANd how long does a zombie live if he eats healthy and works out? All questions inquiring minds want to know. Cheers Shawn and thanks."

"Hey Shawn, and glad you are still posting, happy new years to you both! P.S. - I have never given a numerical score, thanks."

"Mr. C. - if I may speak for myself to some DP protocol. The serious poets here (there are a few) don't like low scores on the ratings because it drags down their averages. Me I don't care because I'm not a scorekeeper. Nevertheless, it's like "if you can't say nothing good..." So to avoid any porked off poets (or maybe that is the diabolical plan?) Don't give less than a nine. The whole system is rather pointless without verbal critique anyway. Hoping you take this with best intentions because I do enjoy the freshness that you bring, thanks!"

"One of your best Shawn, really enjoyed reading and the hyena burp was perfectly putrid too, thanks pal!"

"We learn form experience, trial and error, good thing we remember or we'd all be nuts doing the same thing over and over again. All actors on the grand stage of life - Shakespeare I think, thanks Shawn."

"Hi shawn - you could have made 8 short lines out of the last two lines, like many do to give the illusion of "length". But, fine as is and strictly a matter of taste. These last two lines were some of the best you've written, thanks. "

"Liking the twist on old wives tales - you have come a long way my friend and your works are focused and unforced; becoming expert, thanks."

"Shawn you are definitely giving me a ghetto vibe that speaks to a reality few can survive - great write!"

"Give me the chunky slut and a side of pine twigs on the schoolhouse floor. Conjures up some unique images to match the title, neat stuff."

"LH had a very succinct appraisal and I'm blown away with how far you've come without losing your audience in the process. Remember that we are simple folk desiring to be lifted on gossamer wings occasionally Dribbitt! (great title)"

"Shawn - the economy of words also created a first rate poem, well-done!"

"Hi Shawn - "cat calls" from a wolf needs another synonym, maybe "harangues"? I think your former style was a holdover from rapping? Coming along nicely, thanks."

"Shawn - your phonetic spellings are quite satisfactory and lend a primitive charm. I bet you are really good at math! My brother has the same problem."

"Shawn, you are coming along nicely and keep up the good work. I was with you from beginning to end on this one."

"Shawn, if I understand you correctly, this is about a new planet and the creation of life from the elemental - and then the ending of it, thanks to Man"
