this is well written, sholessjo, but the length got to me. i wanted to turn back halfway through it. that being said, the memories of the man as he tried to fight his way back to civilization were vivid, full of emotion and imagery.

    I guess I should have broken the poem into several sections. Others have told me the same.

    Thanks,

Although it needs editing because of several misspelled
words,(see some below) it is an interesting story. It would make a great novel with lots more story telling. My opinion is that it is too long for a great poem. But a novel would be great. Just keep writing, with the help here, you will be the next best seller. Spell check is usually found at the bottom of the writings.
The old man (rembered)? should be (remembered)or should it be (rendered)
(broke) down Chevy ? should this be (broken)
loliness ???

Wow! This poem story was filled with metaphoric devices, and similes that made this poem thrilling and exciting. Filled with adventure. The setting made the poem even more intriguing and interesting. It was very long, but I read the entire poem. You could make this poem into a novel, and continuing making it into several book chapters.

This tells an interesting story but could use some editing. I like the lines "He pleased her with vigor and spoiled her with charm." I wanted to point out that a spell-check would be important, as "loneliness" is spelled wrong. Also it is "berserk" and not "bazerk." There is a line where it talk about the wolf waiting to "prance" but I think you mean "pounce." Anyway, this is an interesting poem that seems sort of like a long flashback with scenes from a movie. It definitely has potential with some editing.
