Shari this is a great Naani in meaning and message. We have alot of Homeless panhandlers in Santa Cruz. Whenever they ask me for money I ask myself would they give me money. Well done on this message about what's really important when your broke and homeless. Is it cigarettes or food? Take care Adam:) 27-May-2012

HaHa, nice play on words Shari. You can't judge a crook by it's cover. LOL. Unfortunately this is sad but true. There are people who prey on others. They gain their trust then they decieve and betray them. in the worst cases they kill them like you stated. Well done on this little limerick. Take care Adam:) 27-May-2012

Brooke, I have a five year old niece who loves unicorns and fairies. I tell her they are real. I enjoyed these quatrains they made me smile. Take care Adam:) 23-May-2012

Shari, I wrote about this subject a couple of weeks back. I know that there are alot of private investors in NASA. We just pick up the bill when they no longer can. I'm sure they will relaunch the program again in the future. Well done on this satirical Naani. Take care 21-May-2012

Mark, I enjoyed the double entendre and riddle you presented in this poem. This is a well crafted poem as every word had it's place and played it's part perfectly... Well done on this and thanks for sharing it with us. Take care Adam:) 21-May-2012

Linda, I dislike everything about being sick as well. I enjoyed how creative you were at conveying and presenting this message. For right now you should rest and hydrate my friend. I hope you feel like yourself again soon. Take care Adam:) 20-May-2012

Shari, this is a good double entendre. I think I know the reality show you are talking about as well. I'm all for people losing weight and getting for the right reasons.. Though I don't necessarily agree with making it a competition on T.V. for ratings and money. I'm actually amused and do find it funny that these television stations and conglomerates are willing to put a price on other peoples health. Physical and mental health are and always will be priceless. Well done on this and take care. Adam:) 20-May-2012

Shari, I liked what you are conveying in this nonet poem. Anything can become all consuming if you let it take over your life completely. It is true. Some of us find ourselves writing fickle or trife poetry and stories. Just so we can post and share something with fickle and trife reviewers. Thus the viscious circle spirals on... Well done on this realistic interpretation of a writer's need to share. Take care Adam:) 19-May-2012

Simon, This is an interesting take on Adam and Eve. It had a provacative feel to it that carried throughout the poem. I enjoyed your use of subtle rhyme and assonance as well. Well done on this poem and thanks for sharing. Take care Adam:) 06-May-2012

I dig it Tara... I still want to co-author a poem with you. I wrote a verse two that goes after your line of refrain...

Love and sin are akin which is this that we indulger in?

It feels like my moral comapass
is spinning out of control.
I fear that I've lost myself inside
the endless void of your emotional blacknole
Why did you make me feel like the queen of fools?
When I was only trying to be true
by caring, sharing and daring myself
to be real for the likes of you
All of my kisses were sweeter than honey and
your heart was darker than a blackened nectarine
Now that I've seen what false adoration can do.
I ask why myself and you.

Are Love and sin akin and which is this that we indulge in?

If you like it add it in there and let me know? Who knows maybe my verse will inspire another verse out of you? I'm glad to see you writing again. Your poetry always inspires words and verses out of me. That is why i'm giving you six stars.. Take care and keep writing. Adam:) 30-Apr-2012
