Thanks for the compliments,and sorry about the spelling mistake/s. I always get my i's and e's mixed up
even after spell checking would you believe ! I think there is a bit of dyslexia here.

I'm glad you remembered the 'other' five million - dissidents, homosexuals and Gypsies - as well as the more commonly remembered six million Jews who died in those camps.
On the other hand, that's not "Arbiet" but 'Arbeit'

these poems are great, you have my vote. especially liked Mrs. Thomson, very funny and well-written at the same time.

Ah- you deffinately have my vote. I am very thankful that you crossed my path and that I had the pleasure of viewing your work. Your first submission is so sad but a beautifully written tribute to a life lost but not forever lost in the heart. The second- strong and so very insightful- gives a voice to the dead that so many wanted to sweep the ghosts of under the rug. The third was a refreshing treat. The playful, jumping rhymes that captures the innocent sould of a child is absolutely adorable.
Nice work and very best of luck.

A very good set of poems, showing great emotional range. I'm glad you included "Miss Thompson" in the set; the humorous tone was a welcome change from the sadness of the other two. Well done!

The first two pieces do what soul searching poetry should do...bring the reader face forward with reality. Then just about when the tears are unbearable, you give us Miss Thompson

Oh wow... the emotion that I felt with the first poem took my breath away and then to end with a humorous one was awesome.. you have my vote...

I appreciate the vote. Thank you.
I think your poems pull on our heart strings. In sad and amusing ways. I also like the clear change of voice in Miss Thompson. It reminds me of what being a child was like.

You certainly deserve a Yes vote!

Ma'am, with a profound dignity for the human
condition you convey to catharsis the pain
suffered by the bereaved. In a popular culture
that values desensitisation it is an honour
to vote for a poet of the old school, yet timeless.
It is my honour to give you a vote.

This is definitely a yes vote. Based on all the previous feedback, you don't need me to tell you how beautiful your poems are. You have a very powerful way with words that I'm quite envious of!!
Couple of typos in the 2nd poem - I think someone's already pointed out the German one.
"Thier intense sadness and fear"
"I shall never foget"
Should be 'their' and 'forget'. Don't worry though, it doesn't detract from the overall experience of reading your work, which feels like a privilege.
I truly wish you every success with your work - you write as though have a knack for seeing through the eye of your subject and it would be wonderful to see this and more your work recognised for the excellent qualities they possess. All the best and good luck with the vote (although based on the feedback below, you probably don't need it!!)

Your poems were delightful, especially the last one! The first one was a very sad tale, but very nicely crafted. The second one was a gem! Honest and brutal - which is exactly what that part of history was.
Very well done...yes vote!

Human Wrongs Auschwitz - I voted to publish. The subject of this poem should enrage anyone with a heart, and the rhythm of the poem, rather than detracting from the subject, drives the point home.
This Feedback was...
the first two got my vote, they were very touching and took into account very real situations. Two very tragic events and the moment we forget and start taking our life for granted will be the day that it all comes again.
goodluck

i just think the form part was a funny question in general. i didn't mean anything snarky. just wasn't sure what else to say.

General:
This was touching, but i feel that the meaning could be enhanced if you wrote another version that didn't rhyme. the form distracts from the content i feel. and may i say, i'm very sorry for your loss.
Form:
Correct? Nicely done.
Content:
Honest and real and painful. you're strong to write about it. i'm sure it's cathartic.
Imagery:
"A leaflet on Cot death" - nice
Tone:
could be less distracting but very somber.
Musicality:
well done

The first two poems, though depressing were very special and moving. The last poem had a light feel to it, though I do not at all understand it. Anyway, overall great work. I said publish.

Two very raw and moving pieces, and one a lot lighter that adds some much needed relief. Powerful work, and best of luck for the vote.

I can relate to my baby a little. My mom lost my big sister she'd died inside here.
But all your poems are so good.

"Miss Thompson" is a clever take on an ordinary moment in childhood that adults rarely notice. It is a gift to notice childhood's precious moments and document them in verse.

O.M.G i hope many, many people vote for this one as i believe you have put in words how most of civilised humans feel about those camps and that man!

The first 'My Baby' is heartbreaking but healing. Number 2 is a hearfelt tribute to those who died 'becoming free through work' (!) and Miss Thompson is hilarious! Good luck!

I would like to thank every one who looks comments or votes in any way they chose.
Your poem on Auschwitz was enough to grab my attention . . . what a profoundly sad place. My visit there in 1979 changed my life. You do have a couple of spelling errors in that (the German should read "Arbeit Macht Frei") but I applaud your choice of topic. "My Baby" is sad and touching.
Best of luck to you.

Apart from a few rough edges I found these poems well written and you certainly have plenty of talent.
The content was harrowing, emotionally distressing and in the case of Miss Thompson charming and innocent.
I voted for you mainly on content and flow and because of your obvious talent.
Good luck with the vote and my deep sympathy with the loss of Paul who I am sure is always in your thoughts.
Kind Regards John

MOST DEFINITELY PUBLISH THIS COLLECTION
"My Baby" is a real tugger of heart strings...full of raw emotion for SIDS (Sudden InfantDeath Syndrome).
"Human Wrongs Auschwitz"...I still think it warrants a footnote interpreting what "Arbiet Mach Frie" means.
"Miss Thompson" is my OVERALL FAVOURITE not only of this collection, but of ALL the poems that I have read in this competition so far. I LOVE MISS THOMPSON and would probably marry her twice myself if given half a chance.

Quite varied between the three poems. The first and second, sad, and the third, light hearted and fun.
