Looking Glass
This is an anthology of poems giving philosophic backdrop to the many visual wonders and occurrences that I and others like me see or undergo whether in reality or in our imaginations - some where the visions can only be perceived by those who know where exactly to look and look very closely. Each poem is a step in a journey that ventures not only into the world we see around us, but the world that exists within our individual minds and souls. Explore your heart and your mind deeply.

Chilling rain sweeps across my face, trickling down my frozen cheeks. I walk alone through this dreary dismal night searching for an answer. Searching for the key. The heavens are cloaked in clouds, hiding the illustrious moon. The rain picks up draping me with its blanket of depression. Wind howls through outstretched limbs along the dark lonely road as the weather nags and my weary, beaten body and soul; whipping me with nature's mourning.
I have grown accustom to nights like this. They reflect my thoughts. They mirror my life. They mimic my imperfections. Then in an instant, barely off in the distance, a cloud unveils the magnificent moon. This unpredictable, random spectacle starts to transform the night.
From an amazingly beautiful, breathtaking glimmer of hope, the night was no longer desolate. No longer dark. Peeking through the grim shell, the moon peeled back the shadows that suffocated my path. The clouds rolled away. Natures weeping had ceased. Twinkling stars accented the heavens, vibrantly decorating the brilliant sky. The vivid scene saturated my eyes and I became lost in its majesty. It was then that I realized; the moon had truly rejuvenated the night. The moon had released the night from its bondage. It set the night free.

This is an amazing group of writers/poets and a collection of touching, relevant pieces! You have my vote. I'll be perusing this for a long while. I'll be joining the next project and we'll see if my poetry muse can be dragged into the present; she's been sleeping for many years now.

She Comes to me on gossamer wings
We sit and talk of many things
Things in the future things yet to be
Cities of grandeur built under the sea
So what will we do with our landmass above
Why that will be cherished and nurtured with love
For well need all our landmass to grow all our food
How else will we cope and feed all our brood
Trips to the moon and round milky way via alpha centauri all in a day
Ride the rapids on saturns rings these are just a few of the wonderfull things

Do we know the results of the publishing contest yet? Or is it still going? Because I think it would be wonderful if Looking Glass made it.
1/18/2009 7:10 AM PST
I think all the poems in this project are amazing, and I wonder whether thursias, "Bane of webookers" has had a look at his own work lately. Unlikely.
1/15/2009 8:41 AM PST
hey everyone...i just posted a new poem..Wounded Soldier, check it out and let me know what you think:)

I wonder why we, "poets", even bother putting projects up for publishing on webook when they've never chosen a poetry project for publishing no matter how popular or amazing it is. The amount of votes this project had, and other poetry projects as well, deserved to be published. What a shame.
11/18/2008 10:44 PM PST
I, Thursias, bane of webookers, just wanted to give my final thoughts, prior to the end of the vote:
These poems are (all of the ones that I read, I haven't read even a third, and indeed never had the patience to even scroll all the way through, for the love of god how many are there?) simply very, very bad.
Not publishable, not readable.
I challenge anyone to even claim that they have read more than a small fraction of these. Has anyone? Really?

This is deep I loved how it started out it was alive and spiritual then I don't know what happened, I guess I just didn't connect at the end or it went to dark for me to understand??

It is difficult for me to evaluate poetry, because I don't enjoy reading poems -- except for humorous, light-hearted poems, like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Green Eggs and Ham, and Oh, The Places You Go.
I love Dr. Seuss and his zany imagery, but don't much enjoy reading Whitman, Joyce, Yeats, Plath, Keats, Maya Angelou, or Shakespeare. Probably a bit beyond my ken. ;-)
As a result, I will refrain from any lengthy commentary on the substantive style of your poems. What I will say:
Unlike so many other "anorexically thin" poetry anthologies submitted this Voting Cycle, this one is packed with variety, and an abundance of poems by poets who, to my untrained eye, actually have something to say! ;-)
Good Luck! nancy

I may have to change my opinion about poetry! It touches on many of my own thoughts. The reference to a looking glass is especially effective. I often feel like a reflection in a mirror; people can see me but when they reach out all they touch is glass. Beautiful work!

The concept that generates "Looking Glass" offers new insights and dimensions with sharing that can lead to a better world. This is entirely consistent with A Better Community for All (ABC4All)! Therefore this vote is cast! After all, the world did just enter into a new era!
11/12/2008 8:37 PM PST
I haven't read even close to all of this...but what I have read is pretty bad. Dylan Thomas said, and I'm paraphrasing: the job of the poet to represent her/his perception as accurately as possible, through language. I like that idea... I haven't found any of these works to accomplish it. However, people are sensitive about poetry...so I won't go into detail, but in general this seems to be poetry by people who have read very little poetry, sans any actual knowledge of rhyme schemes, or the real and impassioned Love of Language that is absolutely critical to good poetry. I haven't voted yet, so if there's some really good work within this tome, please point me to it! I'd love a reason to give this a thumbs up.

I've been keeping an eye on the poles and on the works for which I voted. I've noticed that it is quite plain that the best works are receiving the most negative votes, simply because others feel their chances are threatened. There might even be some cross-negative voting, ie, your fans voting negatively on other books, so I thought you'd like to know the following. Please read it and let your fans know that they need not vote negatively to get your work published! i received this email from Melissa, the site coordinator after emailing her my thoughts and feelings about the negative vote.:

James,
I've posted about this in the WEbook forums; check it out here: http://www.webook.com/forums/messageIndex.aspx?topic=cce7e374128946999b9c4baca1e2e360&fview=true
We did not anticipate the kind of negativity and unscrupulous voting that we've seen. We will likely not include negative votes in the final tally.

Hey Melissa! I am writing because, as I'm sure are many we-booker's, I'm concerned about the 'negative voting'. People are clearly just voting every project (other than their favorite) down without reading the material. This is really disappointing, and I am a little bewildered as to how this clearly inevitable outcome might not have been anticipated.
Is there any talk of eliminating this feature prior to the end of the election? This is becoming a really hostile process, and it seems clear that given the "negative voting" mechanism, the results of this voting process will be impossible to interpret.
How will you select the top 10%? What will determine that ranking from which you will select a work or works? The highest % positive will of course be books only voted on a few time. Will you ignore the negative votes at that point?
In any case, I just wanted to express my profound disappointment at this process. I would love to know to what purpose the negative voting information will be put, as I would sleep better at night. Right now my favorite webook books are getting crushed under the negative weight, and it is tragic.

"The Puzzle"
As we put our puzzles together
forming the pictures of our lives.
Some of them fit tighter
as we place them side by side.
Then like magic forms its beauty
of what our lives have been.
The joys, the tears, the laughter, and love
of those life pieces from within.
I'm rounding out my edges
of the puzzle now I have made.
with its colors like the rainbow
of which from my God, to me gave.
But one piece I see still missing
there yet to complete it all.
I will hold onto that final piece
until I hear my trumpets call.

The Perfect Hunter

Its eyes you see its prey
Its tail triggers
Its body moves
Its swift like lightening and strong to preys dismay
Its deed is done
Its food has come
Now its feast is gone

Glimpse Into Another World
by Keller
a dark area foliage covers the sky
Light glimpsed through the bush as if trying to see through
its eye shone onto a portal to another world
Eerie inhabitants glistened in the light as the planets from above
were outlined on the distant horizon by a watchful eye.
This describes a day I visited a reflecting garden and someone took a picture of me meditating. I think of it often because it was overlooking the Pacific at a self-realization setting and it was very peaceful. I think of it often with fondness.

Wounded
***********
Wounded by the shadows whispering acts
Voices talking without facts
Never hearing the truth, it knows
Still the whispering grows
Dark veiled lies are perjured without care
Souls damaged beyond repair
Rapier strokes of truth needed
Cutting back tangled webs, weeded
Reaching the cores heart
Deftly the strokes of light invade this part
Dying the lies thrown asunder
Deep into the depths of despair, there they blunder
Lessons for life’s lying tongues, be tough
Enough!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the chance to show off I look forward to working with everybody and reading what is written by all who joins this project.

REFLECTIONS
Lonely pieces of dreams
litter the near-empty skies
There I sit alone
hoarding away by fate
and about the crammed, dusty stars
In a space of two or about,
shadows fill the once, warm skies.
Like human, they trip as in ballet
and like a ball game,
they fall, and crawl
then lie and die.
...simply full of thoughts of one, two and death!

I sincerely apprecaite the invite, however I am not much of a poet. I am afraid my skills lay within the realm of novel writing. Poetry is entirely foreign to me.
Good luck with it though and thanks again :)

Just Three Little Words
By Mitchell Riggins
To my wife
Just three little words
I love to hear
Just three little words
From you my dear
Just three little words
Mean the world to me
They light up my world
As you can see
Just three little words
You need to say
Just three little words
Say them each day
These three little words
You know so well
Just three little words
The world please tell
Just three little words
That’s all you need
Just three little words
I’M CANCER FREE
I love you and think of these words from you often, Forever Mitch

9/30/2008 2:50 PM PDT
Thank you for the invitation. However, poetry is something I have not worked with in... oh, say, 5 or 6 years. So anything I posted would be woefully pathetic. But if I may, I would greatly enjoy reading this poetry. I enjoy its melodies even if I cannot create them.
9/30/2008 2:37 PM PDT
Thank you for the invite. I have a few pieces I will be happy to submit. Until then, best wishes to you . . .
9/30/2008 1:52 PM PDT
well... i have a lot of poems that fit into this project... but theyre in my own, so i dont think i should post them here.
If i come up with something special, ill post.

Thanks for the invite, I shall return to peruse and share my insights. So far it is a wonderful idea.
9/30/2008 9:18 AM PDT
I have an sensate feeling that something catastrophic will happen to me in the near future.Somethjing that is both malevolent and benevolent.
At the same time. I have vision of angels dividing and also I have vision of daemons and beast that are colliding, and as I was pontificating the future of my miserable “Spartan” like surroundings, the answer hit me like a ton of breaks, just before the serial killer came and gave me a sentence of death, without the hint of possibility of seeing life or the sweet taste of smell of cunnilingual virgin again

Who am I supposed to be
Someone who is full of fruit
Full of love, compassionate
Always in a mood to suit
Have I laboured twenty years
Giving all to be refined
Surely something deep has changed
If not in body, then in mind.
I am still controlled by me
Things have worsened, I admit
I have nowhere else to go
Thrashing in a lowly pit
This is where He wants me at
He's the only hope I have
Take this selfish, wasted child
Change my sorry epitaph.
9/29/2008 10:25 PM PDT
Thank you for the invite. But I have to decline. I find writing poems to be like pulling out teeth. My mind does not think that way. But I will read some of what has been put in.

9/28/2008 11:42 AM PDT
i am gracious for your invite but i do believe my type of poetry is a bit too dark for this bc i write based on my past where i went through depression rejection from family and suicidal thoughts so my poetry probably is too dark
9/28/2008 11:07 AM PDT
i am honored by the invite...
I have many poems focusing on issues like these, and Im actually working on a book of short stories and poetries entitled "Through the Minds Eye"
so i definitley think we have some common ground here...
would love to submit some poems to this ...
i will when i get a chance... im working 2 jobs right now and have barely any free time...
please keep in touch and let me know about updates to the project
Thanks,

9/27/2008 6:25 AM PDT
thank you for the invite im still slightly confused on the poems you are looking for obviously u arent really looking for poems that tell stories but more of poems that are like questions right?
9/27/2008 5:29 AM PDT
Thank you for the invite. I might have to do some soul searching to be able to find the kind of poetry you're looking for, as I generally write poetry which is light, and about tangibles, written in rhyme. However, I have never tried poetry of this nature, so it will be an exciting challenge to have a go and see what happens!
9/27/2008 2:28 AM PDT
Oh lovely well im new to this not sure what im doing at the moment but would like to involve my Poem Where is the peace?

9/26/2008 1:01 PM PDT
I may have spoken in haste about assisting you in this glorious
endeavor you have task yourself upon. Today out of frustration I wrote a rustic prose just to get the flakes off my chest. That was the first so called poem I have written in 30 years. Thanks for the invite. The brief passages I read were certainly worthy of
popping a firecracker to. I'll make a gladiator stab at a humble
contribution, eventually.
Best Regards,
DanO Edson
