Lost Soul Prophet: A Soldier's Thoughts
I have no favorite author, nor do I have a favorite poet. I was inspired to write poetry at a young age. I have been through many ups and downs in my life. The things that have happened have given me the perspective and forthought I have today.
I have many different views about many different subjects. Ranging from; love, death, religion, and just the everyday struggle to ensure my own sanity. I just hope that I can share some of my work, inspire others, and possibly make a difference in so ... more »

I haven't had a chance to read them all but I did read the ones in the vote zone and a couple of others and I have to say SORROW is wonderful. I was in the military for quite some time and I have friends who were part of Desert Storm.
Thumbs up to you. I hope this gets published because it is a wonderful tribute to all those who fought and are still at war.
Wonderful work, Lody.

Definitely a thumbs up from me! It's nice to see how complete this collection has become since I read it first.
The themes vary from the struggle of fighting in a war, to love and meditations on our world. The poems are all universal and applicable to all, and at the same time, they open the doors to unique souls with very unique challenges, passions, and desires.
There is hope even in the darkest of poems, and your use of language, both current and more archaic, is excellent. You also bring in the sun, the moon, to make it all the more interesting.
"Heavy is the Head that Wears the Crown" is superb (one of my favorites.
Overall: easy to read, the poems flow, your speakers share very deep personal experiences without falling into self-pity, your speaker's provide hope.

Your wonderful poetry has inspired me and the depth of your feelings run deep. That shows in the excellent poetry you have written here in your book. It's the story behind the lines that make your poetry great. As a friend here on webook told me, "Some of the Best Poems have No Rhyme, but They Have Reason."
I love your poetry. I voted YES. GOOD LUCK my Friend.

I hope that you - being one of the 25 who were supposed to be included as one of the winners of the vote process will complain - there were 540 projects in the competition - 54 were supposed to be chosen but webook took less than half in order to cut their work load. They told me that they chose ten percent of the projects which received more than 10 votes.
I hope you will let them know, just as i have, what you think of their unethical behavior.

So I've gone through a few of your submissions and I'm really diggin' what I'm reading.
Fear - great rythym - fear of disease - easily expressed without using too many words.
Purple Rain - Very powerful words - Deep but enjoyable.
Greed - SO TRUE! Very easy to relate to.
Envy - Ah, probably my favorite so far.
"I wish I had something more. Just like someone else"
Indeed the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
Lust - The devil need not be impressed. Great line to end the poem.
Anger - GREAT write! I like how you write of the problem from one source and how the same person who caused the problem can easily be fixed by them.
So far, I enjoy reading your work. I'll stop back again to read the rest.

I disagree with your view of All Hallow Eve. Samhain is a time of reflection, of looking back on over last year, of coming to terms with the phenomenon of life over which wehave no control-death.The Wiccan feel that on this night the separation betweemthe physical and the spiritual realities is thin. Wiccans remember their ancestors and all those who have gone before. Most people have been programed over the past 300 years or more to believe Halloween is an Evil time. This ignorance caused the lives of Millions of innocent people. This saddens me. But it's an issue not up for debat. We are brought up with our own belief structures past down through the generations. Good luck with your book. Last comment.

I ran through the whole collection, and am impressed. If I had to choose; I prefer the rhyming poems... Free verse is fine, but I have always used rhyming, and am probably a tad biased!

I think I like the rhyming poems the best. Rhythm is good there. You have covered a lot of ground with your thoughts and the poems that need a bit of work can be rewritten before final publication. Very good work. You're a deep thinker.

I recommend extensive reading of classic poetry, to learn about the various kinds of rhyme-scheme and meter that have been explored. It is amazing how much a little reading can tend to improve a poet's capacity for expression...
As Dylan Thomas said, and here I'll paraphrase: the goal of the poet is to represent reality as he experiences it as accurately as possible.
A love of words, of meter, of language is the vehicle via which the poet accomplishes this task. I recommend further study in its operation.

Usually I'm not the biggest fan of rhyming, as it sounds too sing-song when used incorrectly. Obviously you have put a lot of thought into how you want it to sound and it works flawlessly.

INteresting choice to have the seven deadly sins in the beginning, and the messages in them combined with your choice to hve them in the beginning makes them seem almost like a warning.

This poem makes me wonder. They say that certain experiences demonstrate our true colors, but is it possible that we have no color at all until experiences leave us tainted with the color of the experience itself? Just a thought, but interesting work again.

These poems opened my gut - from love to betrayal to love, from peace to war to sacrifice.

I really liked it, I just read the vote zone stuff but I like it and I'm not normally much of a poetry guy but good work.
This Feedback was...
Whilst I admit that I didn't read every poem in this submission, those that I did have time to read were impressive enough to get my vote. I particularly enjoyed the way that the poetry flows with a coherent rhythmic sense reminiscent of song lyrics. The subject matter is also interesting, particularly the expression of the seven deadly sins. When I saw the title, Purple Rain, I was immediately reminded of the song written by Prince.
