Why They’re My Favourites
Bruce Levine
The Right Path (p5) I relate to this poem.
I’ve struggled with choices of siding with
fear or taking a chance for a lighter path.
Where is Time (p8) I liked the questions
and the possibility of time being held in
the palm of the unknown. Reminders
(p9) I was drawn in by the sounds and
closeness of tourists. It’s something I
miss. Music (p13) I love the cortex of the
soul being wrapped in butterfly wings,
and sounds floating in time. Solid Turf
(p14) The first two lines captured my
attention—Crossing the street of dreams
Into a field of hope.
Eric Rosenbaum
Roomba versus Shark (p10) I love
reading object perspectives. The dialogue
between the two conflicting personalities
of the vacuum cleaners was enjoyable.
I’m happy they worked things out in the
end.
John Grey
Marsh Life (p6) I like up-lifting theme.
And the message in the last sentence. On
the Outer Rim (p7) The theme, and the
last sentence, definitely pulls on my
heartstrings.
Peter Mladinic
Flashlight (p4) I like the temperature of
the poem. It’s an environment of
contrasts.
Vadim Kagan
Hues (p3) The phrase “The eyes I slowly
drowned in,” and the ending captured my
attention.
