The lady in your artwork is definitely having a bad hair day. Mythology has bits of truth embedded in it. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

Hi Gypsy,
I've always enjoyed Medusa's story and I really like how you shaped it into your poem. Fantastic artwork as well. I'm sure Dean is proud to add your work to his collection. Keep on keeping on!

Hi Gypsy,

This is another well written poem. Your work never sounds like horror poetry to me and that's good or I probably wouldn't be reading them. I think you do a great job in writing the type of poetry that is your favorite kind.

Hi Gypsy;
-I just simply love it. This is a great piece of poetry of the macabre you did an excellent job your reference to mythological history.
-picture that you use very eerie and quite relative and appropriate to the concept and theme of poem.
-it's a must to read out loud to really perfect combination of the love and the eeriness of the story. And it also helps reading out loud timing and cadence of the writing which makes the rhythm in reading clear, fluid and easy.
- I like the imagination in this writing which is quite inventive and ingeniously creative and I wouldn't never thought that Medusa would never have a lover until now.
- make a great addition to Dean's collection.
-Thank you for your authors notes they're very helpful in determining which way the writing was going and the biography of you the writer.
-thank you for sharing and posting and may the good Lord be with you always Gypsy.
Alex

Lol, watch out Dean! No, of course you don't copy him, you admire his style and work on developing your own. My husband said one of my poems was "stealing" Melville's style, which I thought was ridiculous. Anyway, it seems that Medusa fell in love with the Grim Reaper...and why not? Great series of verse and images, Gypsy!

Thank you very much, Sister Carol :) I know what you mean about not copying someone/ just admiring and developing your own. It makes perfect sense to us, right? How come others don't see it that way? Oh, well. It's Not important. I am grateful for you and your kind review. Peace be with you. *gypsy hugs* :)

I like the intensity of your poem and the unusual line up of contributor's. The sweet love poems can get to you after a while so I do appreciate the Praying Mantis love story. Get the love job done then bite off their useless heads, The head with the brains that is. Men can think with either.

Line up of contributors? I only thank one person, the author of the multi-author book I wrote in.
The sweet poem got to you? Interesting.
The Praying Mantis love story? eating the lover's head off is better than loving someone? Awesome concept. I have to remember that one.

Dear Gypsy Rose,

Ah the power to do Medusa in with love not hate was quite a ploy. For love does conquer evil in the end or at least I like to think so. Well illustrated. (LOL)

Warm regards,

Winslow

Gypsy, you have no need to explain. Your writing in this genre is
so unique, as is Dean's. I agree with you, this is your strongest
area of write. I've read this a few times now and I don't see any
need of correction. This reads as a story as well. Nice work. -Bill
