This work has reached the exceptional level

How could another poet not love this. It's a gift from you to us who put our feelings out to the world for better or worse. Your poem is a true winner in our world of trying so hard to write the best from our hearts and souls.
Thank you. Joan

    Wow! Thank you from this very complimentary review and your generous rating. It is not only much appreciated, it has touched me very deeply. Poetry is very special for me as somehow, I am able to communicate with it, something that wasn't expected as much as it came. Mike

This poem is a poet's poem. It creeps inside of the mind of what a writer is thinking, and what they want to convey on the page that hopefully will mean something to someone else. There are a lot of details and images in the poem that touch the heart and soul of the reader. ann

    Well, writing poetry was actually an act of desperation as the stories themselves were convincing people that I was crazy. The one unexpected thing was, I felt an obligation to poetry itself and have penned several poems either to, or expressing what poetry has done for me. I thank you very much for your compliments and this review. Mike

Your poem is exellent, and it's very touching as well. I loved this verse:

Keeps the fire burning in your soul;
moves you through life, taking no toll.
Conjures up only the very best of dreams;
preventing nightmares, silencing screams.

I think your correct about your photo..very cool! B :)

    Yes, some effects are lasting and indelable, never to be forgotten. It touched me that someone went through my portfolio and left their fingerprints upon the spine. I felt that sharing it once again is the least that I can do. Thank you very much for your compliments and this review. Mike K2

Mike - I thought that this was a lovely poem. I especially liked the lines:

"A life inspiring suite that becomes your song;
or a gentle whisper that helps you trudge along."

Masterful imagery and the artwork ended up being very close to perfect.

A unique well crafted
creation that hits the
highlights by first writing
the poem just for you because
it is you, and then the wishes
that the author wishes to provide
for that special one and what the
wishes are and then stating the
most important part the why he
has written it, because of the
effect this wonderful person has
on him and that is the reason he
wishes all these things.
Well done

I thought your effort with the picture was well rewarded. I knew after a few words there was someone you were writing this for Lucky Her. It was romantic without being sappy. Good luck in the contest. joan marie

    Romantic without being sappy, you mean genuine. lol I thank you for the compliments and this review. Mike

    Exactly what I meant. I don't often write romance. Hasn't been a big part of my life. I have written a few about someone I can't seem to put the flame out on. Beautifully written. jm

Excellent imagery. The poet's love for the beloved is apparent. The poem flows quite well. The subtle rhyme scheme is well utilized. I like the alliteration of "pen a poem."

    I was thinking of the conscientiousness and dedication of the framers of the Declaration and Constitution. Sort of that feeling of responsibility. I appreciate the review and compliments very much and thank you for them.

Truth indeed, and beautifully expressed. All the best, the most comfort, the most everything for those we love. Great job and love the art you created to go with it, or vice versa.

    I enjoy your screen name and thank you very much for the compliments and this review. Mike K2
reply by Minglement on 29-Dec-2008
    You're very welcome. Screen names, yes. Yours intrigues me, too. Is the K2 for K2 skiis? My daughter lived on Vashon Island years ago where they are made. Or were, anyway. Take care and Happy New Year. Marcia
reply by the author on 29-Dec-2008
    No, I explain that I use K2 as both symblogy related about the mountain and also about the movie, which is more about friendship and never leaving the other. It is also about a change of heart. I love the stories that members have here. It is a great thing that you daughter had such an oppertunity. You also have a great year ahead. Mike
reply by Minglement on 29-Dec-2008
    Sorry I missed that explanation. I'd forgotten about the movie and the mountain is pehaps where the ski co. got it's name. I find word origins, logos, and screen names very interesting. Take care and have a great year. Marcia
