I love the pics and your poetry. Thanks for sharing your life through the art of poetry. Good luck!

BTW, check the contest rules aand ensure your book pages are not exceeded the amount allowed. =-) Take care and keep writing.

I've read it a few times and I can see that there is a source of pain present and something that changed your life. Perhaps I missed the whole story and perhaps I'll find out later. Your work is in chronological order and your journalistic style is impressive. As far as the source of pain that I sense in this book, I hope that things are better now...I really mean that. I may be a BookRix friend that you have just met, but something is telling me that you are still healing from something and I pray that your poetry will help you and bless you in ways that you cannot imagine.

God Bless,

your friend,
Tyrone

Dennis, as someone who lives in the country and observes the round of the seasons I can appreciate the sensibility expressed in your poems. Frankly, I like the meditative feel and poetic quality of the unrhymed poems better. My fav is the very poignant one about the dying deer (I'm impressed by how you frame that poem with the field of pristine snow). I't hunting season now, and my wife and I have already found two dead deer--shot by hunters, and obviously left to die.

Keep on keeping on . .. Gene

I liked your some free some rhymed style and your way of expression. Your choice of words make it so visual and so real that we feel them in our hearts as each poem reflects another glimpse of your life. "Open the Door" is my favorite, by the way:)

In short, it was extraordinary and real. I enjoyed reading it.

Good Luck Dennis!

From "November in the Garden" with nature's ever present bounty to all the poems of your surroundings! You seem most comfortable in the mountains! Can so relate to many of your locales having lived near Woodstock for some years.

Beautiful, Dennis! Petra :))
