I have no mink to wear on my back.
I have no wine to fill my cup.
I have no fancy home for
friends and company to see.
I have no steaks to eat.
I have very liitle money to spend.
But,
I have a healthy back.
I have a cup for water.
I have a place to sleep.
I have food to eat.
I earn the money I have.
But is this enough?
Is this enough for po-me?

The Voice and Bells of True Freedom
There is a Voice that is Ringing from within
And I want to hear the voice Ringing strong again
There is a Voice that is singing with Pride
Tell me now can you hear the Voice ringing out from deep inside
The Voice is calling out to all nations clear and loud
It is filled with the Song of Love
The Voice is sounding out for all from high up above
Can you hear it within your ears
The Voice of Freedom Ringing from within
The Voice of Peace to share the Dream once again
You can hear it in the Mountains, To the Valley far below
Can you feel the Spirit as it sings from within
No matter where you travel or how far you may go
The Voice is there ringing out strong and true
The Voice is calling out to you
It is Calling to all Nations from far and Wide
To enjoy this World together to stand up with Pride
For Peace is given unto all so let the Dream shine again
Let your Spirit soar high from within
So open up your Heart and Listen to the Wind
Look to the Scenery that the World has to give
For in the Colors that surround us all
You can see that Love is the Clearer Sound
As the Voice and the Bells ring out
For Peace and Love to come about
There is a Voice that is Ringing from within
And I want to hear the voice Ringing strong again
There is a Voice that is singing with Pride
Tell me now can you hear the Voice ringing out from deep inside
The Voice is calling out to all nations clear and loud
It is filled with the Song of Love
The Voice is sounding out for all from high up above
Can you hear it within your ears
The Voice of Freedom Ringing from within
The Voice of Peace to share the Dream once again
You can hear it in the Mountains, To the Valley far below
Can you feel the Spirit as it sings from within
No matter where you travel or how far you may go
The Voice is there ringing out strong and true
The Voice is calling out to you
It is Calling to all Nations from far and Wide
To enjoy this World together to stand up with Pride
For Peace is given unto all so let the Dream shine again
Let your Spirit soar high from within
So open up your Heart and Listen to the Wind
Look to the Scenery that the World has to give
For in the Colors that surround us all
You can see that Love is the Clearer Sound
As the Voice and the Bells ring out
For Peace and Love to come about

Loves Sweet Song
(For all Nations to Share)
We heard the Message I have a Dream
We heard the Song that shined out from within
We heard the Words that all tried to Share
So why is it still that no one cares
Does it matter what color we are
Does it matter what others believe
Why can we not understand
All Nations were meant to Live in Peace
When the Stars shine and the Moon lights the way
Is it not that all can see and be amazed
Why do we have eyes that can not see
That all Nations were born to have Pride and be Free
Yet for some reason they have to depend
Upon a Bill to be passed every year
Other Nations can Vote with no Disgrace
So why can we not Change this Page
All Nations should be able to Vote
All Nations should stand up Proud and Tall
All Nations have a Song to Be Shared
So Let's Change the Page and Make It Right
That all Nations should have the Right
To Vote without Congress telling us no
We all came from other Lands to be Free
Yet it seems we forgot one thing
That in a Nation whose Proud and Soars True
That their are those who still have to rely upon a bill
Pass this now Let all have a Voice
Pass the Word to stand tall with Pride
Pass the Dream unto all and Watch
A Nation that stands up tall and Proud
Ignited a Dream to Sing For All

Bird At Heart
(the dream of Peggy-Sue & Rich)
As they stood in the field over looking their one true dream
Of saving Nature of bringing Love to shine out once again
They heard a voice singing out into the wind
Sang to their Hearts as there Spirits soared within
Save them so that they can have a world to shine out from
Save them so that others can see the Love that Heaven sent
Save them for the joy they give unto others
Save them so that the Love is shown and the Dream does not end
As they heard the wind singing through the trees
They knew at once that they would have to help them to be free
They stood in the field overlooking a true delight
Save the Birds for all to see a dream that will come to light
From the smallest Canary to the Great Amazons
They Nuture these creatures and save them from harm
They sing with a Heart filled only with Love
To save Nature so others can endure the Love
Sing out for the Joy Sing out for the Love
Sing out for the Birds who sing out with a heart
Bird at Heart is a Place born neath the stars
Bird at Heart is the song where Dreams can Ignite

You have my vote. I love your poetry

I tend to shy away from evaluating poetry, except humorous, light-hearted poems, like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Green Eggs and Ham, and Oh, The Places You Go.
So, rather than commenting on the substance of this anthology, I'll comment on its presentation:
(1) Unlike other "anorexically thin" poetry anthologies submitted, this anthology is packed with variety, and an abundance of poems by poets who, to my untrained eye, actually have something to say! ;-)
(2) The Project Leader obviously took some time to organize the poems, alphabetically, to aid readers who wanted to refer back to favorites.
Good Luck! nancy

Domunique, this is why I resent your attack emails. My comment on this work was glowing. I told you that I felt your work and ideas had the potential to become a work equal to my favorite book of poetry. Yet, you came at me and called me names. If you can't see how stupid that makes you, then never mind. I was honest with you and liked your work. You either misinterpreted me, or just plain, flat out wanted me to say I was in love with you or something. I'm very sorry, but I don't see what your problem is.
11/8/2008 8:54 PM PST
Good luck! I love your stuff and feel honored that you've invited me to join some of your projects.
11/8/2008 2:07 PM PST

I don't, as a rule, really critique any group projects. i always feel that the members of the group have enough heads to see if the work as a whole is good or bad. I admire group project leaders that can choose what to include. I think that one of the most impressive books of poetry I have ever read is a book called "Cane" It's so layered and each one of the poems and prose reflect each other, remark on each other's metaphors, etc. It talks all about the struggle of black man against black man to get out of the rule of slavery "Cane" as in sugar cane and a reference to the biblical Cain who killed his brother. Anyway, I think that this project is good, and that if the leader's goal is to create an enduring work, he should buy and read "Cane" and see how deep such a project can become. I think this type of project has the potential to become such a work

9/4/2008 2:26 PM PDT
I always like to be the first to slate my own work so I'd just like to make it known that I can only write when I feel as though I'm struggling somehow. Everything I write comes from my heart and is about something I'm having a hard time with, whether the poem is directly involved with the issue or not. I've submitted one poem on here so far, its called "What it means to be in love" and I'd appreciate some objective feedback about the work, not the issue. And if anyone feels so possessed as to check out more of the depressive nonsense I can spout off when I'm having a hard time, my own project is called "No Apologies". Thanks guys. And thankyou for inviting me to participate in this. I genuinely never thought my poetry would be worth reading for anything other than being marked by an examiner. Oh... and if anyone thinks a poem in my individual project would work well in this one, let me know so I can get it submitted. Essay over. =) x

Soul mates yes we may be,
but I still do not know what you see in me.
Our likes and dislikes go hand in hand,
still I am at awe at why I am your man.
You are perfect in every way possible in life and love,
we fit together like a hand in a glove.
We laugh we chat, we share good and bad times,
we finish each others sentences even in ryhms.
I can not believe your in love with me,
I thank Heaven above for sending an angel here to be.
I may not say it nearly enough,
but I am so glad you see beyond all the bad stuff.
You stand by me through thick and thin,
again I thank you for sticking it out and staying with me.

It must be said that my license plate used to be domunic for the same reason you chose your nom de plume. My real name is Dominique. There are no accidents in life. I would be honored to share my poetry with you and yours.

I greatly appreciate the invitation, but I must respectfully decline. I don't write much poetry, so I wouldn't have anything to add to the project. Thank you again.

Thanks for the invite, I wont let you down
8/29/2008 11:21 AM PDT
Thank you kindly for your invite, however at this time I must politely decline. For the moment I have to sort out a great deal of work with my own projects, so I have very little time to dedicate to new ones. However I appreciate you asking me to join and wish you good luck with this project and any other work you put your mind and heart into in the near future.
8/29/2008 11:17 AM PDT
yeah man ill do it. hah just write about personal problems??
8/29/2008 9:33 AM PDT
Have you heard the people howl
When they are not mad or drunk?
Human words do not allow
To express the state of funk
When you have no one to share
Not the bed but just a word
When you shout in despair
And meet no wishes to be heard.
When your letters are ignored
All aspirations are deferred-
And you are flawless now:
Nobody cares for you … Wow!

Thanks for the invite. I'll give it a go
8/29/2008 4:28 AM PDT
Tough I'm not a poet, I'll join, since I love reading and I sometimes attempt to right poems.
Thanks for the invite.

8/29/2008 2:21 AM PDT
hey how are you doing?
8/29/2008 1:02 AM PDT
Thanks for the invite, but I'm not a poet; far from it. Take care.
8/28/2008 11:24 PM PDT
Thank you for the invite. I'm a sometimes poet, but mostly just write short stories and long stories.
8/28/2008 10:21 PM PDT
Why the hell is this JoyofHeart over here talking Jesus.
Did Jesus stand up to those erroneous charges for you? Is Jesus sending you a 400+ check refund?
No.
So hush your mouth and let others share their troubles.

Thanks, but no thanks. Uniting by personal problems, keeps you from reaching that higher plateau. When we turn our problems over to God and then be patient, He will resolve them for you. Maybe not in the time frame you would like, for only He knows the proper timing. I stood up for myself over a banks erroneous charges and now, two years later, they are sending me a 400+ check refund. Could have used it back then, but sure can use it more today! I am humbled with every answer to my prayers.
8/28/2008 5:39 PM PDT
Thanks for the invitation but I am concentrating on new poems for my own project. Best wishes for success with yours.

8/28/2008 3:56 PM PDT
The Final Prayer
Written in memory of a friend who died in a road accident. A poem dedicated to his mother
Can it be, that voice I hear
which murmurs softly in my ear
to soothe this night of pain and fear
as darkness round me gathers near
Can it be, the voice that said
"Fear not the terrors in your head,"
that calmed my screams of tortured dread
as breath and living reason fled
Can it be, the hands that now
wipe sweat and blood from injured brow
though she may wonder why and how
from fiery steed of fate I fell
Can it be, the eyes that wept
as in her arms at last I slept
and vigilance beside me kept
while others stand around inept
Can it be, the final prayers
whispered softly through her tears
while cold heart's shadow ever nears
in sombre silence no one hears
Then as the mourning siren sings
I'm lifted up on death's cold wings
yet as time heals, and peace it brings
for you I leave these precious things
That now my spirit homeward bound
a mother's love was all I found

See, now, I accepted your invite but now that I"m here I feel like I should have come in the tradesman's entrance for a poet I am not.
So, excuse me for my error and where do you want the groceries?

Than you ever so much for the invitation. I don't really know what I have that'd be really all that good for inclusion here and I can really only do poems when I'm upset. Mostly in Freestyle, I have a few really old one's if you'd like to see one just let me know if it meets your standards I'll be sure to post it up.
8/27/2008 11:44 PM PDT
Thanks for the invite, but I can't write poetry to save my life so I sadly must decline.

8/27/2008 8:25 PM PDT
Thanks for inviting me, but I only do poetry once in a blue moon and my problems really aren't worth listening to. Sorry it took so long to respond, I've been grounded (which is why I don't have any projects. Sorry for taking up your time, and thanks again!
8/27/2008 7:40 PM PDT

8/27/2008 1:20 PM PDT

8/27/2008 1:04 PM PDT
thanks for the inviting me.
My poetry tends to get verbose at times but it's all legitimate
I like to use plenty of references so everyone can connect.

A morbid thought...but nevertheless it makes for great literary overtures. I like to call myself an optimist, but yes there are times when one feels down and out...the next time I am in that phase, rest assured you'd find something from my end.
8/27/2008 1:41 AM PDT

8/26/2008 7:47 PM PDT
Thanks for the invitation.
However, I am not a poet. My aspirations are set well below that horizon. So rather than clutter up, I'll politely decline.
I do like reading it though and will offer tentative reviews when I feel qualified.
Again, I'm honored by the invitation, and thank-you.

Thanks for the invite. I'm always honored to share my work and read the work of other talented writers. I will go through what I have, and see if there's anything worth posting, and maybe I'll spout off some new stuff soon. Again, thanx!!!
8/25/2008 7:50 PM PDT
I agree with J_Grace...some people heal through expression. thanx to all of you that participate.
8/25/2008 6:15 PM PDT
Hey Domunique, I read one of your poems, "To My Unborn Son"...to write for you would be an honor. Lot of emotion behind that one poem.
8/25/2008 5:59 PM PDT
Thanks for the invite! I don't write much poetry anymore, but I'll post some of my older stuff and see what people think!
8/25/2008 5:57 PM PDT

good topic choice as well.

8/25/2008 5:35 PM PDT
David_Halliday's analogy is quite funny though! Cute even. But I don't neccesarily agree. What some people don't get is that poetry is expression, it doesn't equate to depression. Thats my little rhyme for the day:)
8/25/2008 5:03 PM PDT
Ur poetry is deep and from the heart and soul. I appreciate the invite.
8/25/2008 4:28 PM PDT
I'm sorry. I write poetry but am not interested in relating personal problems. Poetry is like a sandbox. For playing. Not pooping.

my daughter just went through the same pain, she was mad at God at first but now she loves God again and said that she will see the baby girl again when she gets to heaven. When ever she thinks about the baby she finds comfort in knowing that the baby is in heaven. THIS POEM WAS NICELY WRITTEN, SHOWS THE FATHERS PAIN.
8/17/2008 5:55 PM PDT
I like the concept:
I believe it standz in terms of MONEY
because many people believe that
there IZ not money in poetry!!! SO
PO-ME like WOE is ME meaning
we POETS ain'T got no MO-NEY, LOL!!!
Lemme knoe if I'm wrong!!!
