Thank you, Kathryn :-). XIV was a let addition because it didn't feel properly concluded to me, and I'm heartily glad I spent the extra time writing it.

Night Adam in a lifeless waste,
Night Eve to plant a tree.
The future would be ours to mould;
perhaps
my destiny?
I love this part of your poem. It symbolized to me a lot. I can't wait to read the rest, please send the rest to me. It's awesome!

Wow great poem. You construct each stanza well. You use strong words to help the reader create images in their mind and follow the poem. Great job

Comment from bowls
This is the first bit of your poem/story that I've read and I'm amazed how well you're able to maintain a steady rhythm and find suitable rhymes that make sense. It must have taken a very long time to do this! Perhaps you'll be the next Geoffrey Chaucer.

Thank you, Bowls; what a great compliment :-). My rule is, if I get stuck, write what I mean without the rhyme then come back and have another look later.

Comment from dragonpoet
I like the flow of the poem and the story of Medusa and the man coming back from the dead (possibly). I like mythology so the use of Medusa makes it more interesting.
The only error I found is nowt should be naught.
Keep writing

Thank you, Dragon :-). I enjoyed using elements of mythology in this one; they made for a strong metaphor for the situation. Nowt is just an English vvariant of Naught, but it's thrown a lot of reviewers!

You're welcome. I've included some mythical beings in my poems too.

Comment from Oatmeal
Fleedleflump,
You did a very nice job with part one. The story line was good. Your description words were well chosen. Very reflective, all thoughts are very well described, understandable and comprehensible.
There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,
Oatmeal

Comment from Carol D Parker
I enjoyed the read very much. It's almost perfect. Except for one word: "Nowt" I believe is suppposed to be "naught" which means nothing. But the poem is aces. I was impressed by the beautiful language, the excellent rhyme and meter. The story is very interesting. Great job.

Thank you, Delora. Nowt is an English form of Naught, but I've noticed it's not known across the ocean as many reviewers have picked it out!
Thank you for your wonderful comments. You have lifted my heart this cold Monday morning in South East London.

Well being rescued by a chick with snakes for hair would make me wonder what the world's coming to. I enjoyed this poem. Great job.

lol, for certain, but I reckon if we'd been eating radiation for breakfast for a hundred years, a chick with snakes for hair would consitute a pretty normal day :-).

I enjoyed reading your poem about the wondering man, and I'm glad he got rescued. Maybe this will be an opportunity to begin again. I loved the rhymes and the smooth rhythm of your writing.
