You are my favorite poet.
I have
made a return visit to your incredible site and read most of your poetry and it
is truly of immeasurable excellence. I would like to offer you my award for
poetic excellence, you rightly deserve it!!! ...thank you...and keep writing!
Red Rose Award for Poetic Excellence
Poetry is the soul breathing, a gentle sigh, harsh
exhalation..always proof of life. I was touched by your beautiful poetry. It was
a caressing fingertip down my spine.<smile> Much too often, I have found, most
men unwilling to open and breathe...I yearn for it. Those whispered words in the
dark that I must imagine..so please accept my gratitude for your words..<sigh>
Does wonders for my spirit, as well as my envy, to imagine a man somewhere,
speaking to a woman, with his soul...absolutely beautiful..
I think
your poetry is great I would love to read more. I think you have a special
talent, you have inspired me to keep writing poetry
your poetry
really touched me and moved me
I just wanted to say that I love your
poems
Wow, Kevin! that poem on how to write a poem showed some real
talent. A lot of people ... write and write and never have one good poem, but
yours is a funny yet sweet satirical one! I love it!
O m g!! Those
are soooo sweet !! I love your poems!!
Thank you for sharing your
wonderful gift of Poetry. I enjoyed every single one ... so beautiful and
expressive! I loved the one especially about not waiting until "death" to miss
"me" ... miss me when I am near ... that is so true! ... I am so happy that I
"found you"
I fell in love with so many of your poems that it was/is
difficult to say of which I love the most! Certainly will share your site with
friends of poetry and hope that they too fall in love~
hey I was
reading your poems today.....gosh you're good!
some beautiful work
You have some very nice works
I enjoyed your poetry so very much. I
also loved being able to hear you recite them. It brought them to life for me
and gave them a different meaning. You have a wonderful gift and talent.
okay, I have a question for you, are you the author of these poems posted on
your page?? I loved most of them and I need to find out who the author is of the
poem "BESIDE YOU" I need this info for a class assignment.
Kevin,
this is a most delightful and thought provoking work. You have done well. I have
printed it off to read anon with a glass of Harvey's Bristol Cream. [Re:
Razzmatazz]
Your poetry is very crisp. I enjoy it very much.
We have read your poems and liked what we have seen so far.
I love
your poetry
hey some of your poems are really good then some of them
aren't too bad
PS. I would have said more, but I'm honestly at a
loss for words!! your poems are wonderful!
Dear Kevin I just love
your poems they are from the heart.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR
POETRY.....! It hits home in my heart.
I love your poetry. You
totally inspire me to write.
Wow that was excellent! Thank you so
much. I wish I could be as great a poet as you!
very good poems:)
a magnificent poem
hey, just wanted to say I love your poetry,
especially "Beloved." Your poems are the style I have been trying to find for
myself for quite awhile. :)
I am pleased to inform you that your
recent submission, Fall, has been selected for publication in the November
edition of Mind Fire Poetry Journal.
Hey you know - you are a really
good poet, my favorite poem would have to be fold me. I'm not sure
why but I just loved that poem.
you made me smile!!!
One
of my students came across the geocities page and your poem, "I like." I found
it delightful myself and was wondering whether I could make a copy of it for my
classes next semester. I would put it up on a course web page with your name...
Assistant Professor
Slippery Rock University
I just want you to know that your poetry is
so beautiful. I would love to see more they bought tears to my eyes.
hi I think that ur poems are great
ur poems really do touch my
heart.
I really enjoyed your writing
wow u are awesome
Your poetry is very beautiful... my mother appreciated it very much!!!
HI I LIKE YOUR POMES
have only read the first few poems and they are
very, very nice
"sometime..." gets it just right
at a loss for words now
that's what I've been trying to write for ten years
very good, very nice, very sweet
I am envious
I'll have to add you to my list of favorite
contemporary poets, i.e. Pablo Neruda, Mari Evans, Audry Lourde, and others. I
particularly like the poetry of the Harlem Renaissance. Gotta go to class. I'm a
law professor at the Southern University Law Center.
I think your
work is breath taking. In a way you lifted a broken heart
I like
your poetry. Lovely
you have a wonderful gift of words
I
thought your poems were great!!
I've read most of your poems and I
have to say that of all the poets here, you're my favourite. I really like your
work so please Keep it up! :)
Great poetry! I really enjoyed it.
I've been writing poetry for years also and wanted to tell you that you have a
wonderful talent, particularly for short form lyrical works. Millennium, fold
me, delicious and skin
dance are, I think, examples of what
you do best... I wish you well and, please, do not stop writing poetry ! Your
talent is rare.
I don't like a lot of male's poetry. I found yours
to be so refreshing. Keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed your
poems.. you are a good writer.. Keep up the good work
I have read
your "love poems with an attitude" and I really enjoyed your site.
ENJOYED YOUR POETRY
I enjoyed reading through your poems very much
--- thought provoking --- excellent work !

Lisa award for keeping the
arts alive with POETRY the food of the
gods:)
You have a lovely site and the poetry is very stimulating.

inspiration. your poetry is music.
Everyone should read Tao and
Angelness at least once a day! Thank you for sharing your poems with us.
Miracles to you!
I love poetry and I write too, I thought that the
poems that you have here are really beautiful, they were all great but I just
loved the one that's called fold me, I thought it was really great and I love
the little rhythm that it has and I love the words!
I love this
site... all the poem are awesome
Think I liked the Black letter
verse stuff best.
This is a wonderful site... now dog-eared.
I like your poems a lot. I think they are cute.
I really enjoyed
reading your poems
Loved reading your work. Quite subtle, but
expressive.
I've rarely seen a more classy, beautifully done site,
and with wonderful poetry as well! On top of that, to hear the poetry in
streaming audio, from such a talented reader, well, it all makes for a real
treat!
I really enjoyed reading your poems... keep up the good work.
This is a beautiful and aesthetic site. It's nice to find a site like this.
I love your poems
Your poetry sings from the heart, and I am going
to read more...EXTREME KUDOS POET!
These are some of the best poems
I had read. The site is the best one I had found in my search. The poems are
great and they have a lot of meaning to them.
Beautiful site . . .
I am entranced by your poetry.
I enjoy reading poetry that is
derived from the heart - not having to necessarily rhyme - some of the best,
deepest poems don't rhyme. I enjoyed your site. The way you write is as if not
thinking, but feeling then expressing. I like that.
I read the love
poems and they were very touching.
I really enjoyed the poems! :)
I really like the love poems.
I really enjoyed reading through your
poems they were all really great...
I liked your poems
I
really liked Nutshell and Beside
You. Especially Beside You, that was
excellent. You are truly gifted.
I'm very pleased with what I've
found on more than one occasion.
Delightful poetry,
Caresses all my senses,
Beautiful design.
Kudos to you. Keep up the great work!
your poetry...it has truly touched my heart and soul.
I love your
poetry.
You offer great insight. Thanks, Kevin!
YOUR
POETRY IS WONDERFUL, IT TOUCHED ME. YOU ARE GREAT AT WHAT YOU DO, KEEP IT UP.
Your poems were wonderful! They made a lot of sense:)
I was very
impressed with your poetry, wit, charm and writing in general. I have been at
your site for a while and ... What can I say about your site except it is very
lovely, the layout is classy... your poetry is what poetry should be... May God
bless you and I hope you never run out of your passion for writing. You are
truly a talent.
Impressive writing. Yours is a great gift.
I'm impressed
Good work, lots of wonderful reading...
I
enjoyed the love poems please get more
As I looked and read what was
from your heart, and the art absolutely awesome. From one writer to another,
keep your pen in hand, and be in touch. Thank you so much for sharing with us
all your thoughts and great poetry.
Your poems are wonderful,
especially the birthday one... that's one of the best I've read yet.
... great poem guy. I wish you had a larger audience. I'm really
glad to be a part of the audience you've got. Great stuff. Keep it up. [Re:
Psychiatree]
I wish
I'd written this... got any more like it? [Re: Psychiatree]
your poetry page... is wonderful and depicts many emotions I have
been through at one time or another. I loved them.
Thank you for the ... chance to read and enjoy your poetry. It is
beautiful and reminded me of some the feelings and emotions that I have been
trying to find again. Relationships are hard, but the right words can put
everything in focus. Please continue to write the words that touch souls and
move mountains.
Kevin ... You're poetry was awesome .... you have a gift ... and a unique one at
that.... thanks for sharing it.
Your poetry is quite lovely...truly. Please continue writing, as
you have such talent, and so much to offer...
That's a nice poem Kevin. Thank you so much, I really touched with
the lyric as I did not celebrate my b'day this year with anybody... [Re:
Birthday Poem]
Thank you, Kevin, for the invitation to walk the stepping stones of your poetry
website. I enjoyed your poetry very much. What inspires you? Is it personal
events or observation? I will guess more of the personal event is in your words.
Your work flows very nicely... much like a gently stream. I hope to be invited,
again, to dance through your thoughts.
...really am enjoying your poetry - especially "Beloved" - that one
really flows!
Great
poetry
Kevin those
poems were enticing. I loved every word of them.... You are a very beautiful
writer and don't let anyone put you down for that.
Kevin... I did find some poems to my liking. in fact I would like
it very much if you would let me post some of your poems on my page. it is, of
course, up to you, but I think your poems are very good...
That was just so cute I copied it and made a plaque for it..Thank
you so much. [Re: Birthday Poem]
Thank you for the nice poem!! [Re: Birthday Poem]
I enjoyed your work
Just found your MIKU not many people understand nor can do
this...it has to come from ones heart...BEAUTIFUL
Kevin,
You made me cry, made me lonesome as well as feel good... made me think of
my lover, best friend, mentor, teacher, companion... THANK YOU for inviting me
into your heart!
Your poems were awesome.
J'ai lu vos poèmes et ils sont magnifiques.
L'écriture est tel un oiseau qui prend son envol
Continuez d'écrire vous avez beaucoup de talent.
Bravo.
I was
a bit overwhelmed today while I explored.. and read.. explored ... and read..
and oh my!! . and very much enjoyed myself. I love the layout and graphics very
much as well.
Thank
You, Kevin! They are beautiful! My favourites: *Beside Me* * Fold Me* *Nutshell*
*Sometime*
Your
poetry is beautiful! I'm definitely not a poet, but make a wonderful audience. I
have felt much of what you write about... Thank you again, for your lovely
words.
All I can
say now is WOW!!!!!
I LOVE THIS ONE,
"Sometime" ( my rising sap
into amber crystals that
fall to the ground
and each crystal of
frustration becomes a
precious stone)
... IT IS INTRIGUING, VERY MUCH SO...like a redwood grove, we all embrace
under Gaia's surface
HEY, your poetry site is wonderful
Kevin, I liked this one a lot... [Re: Nutshell]
good work...keep up the good job!
I read the poems on your page and I thought they were excellent.
I enjoyed your poems
Quite a strong start to the day in your shockingly guiltless little
prayer. [Re: Spare me the Lecture, Father...]
I loved all the poems.
Your poems were great, I really loved them..... they inspired me a
lot....
I was
actually smiling reading your poems.
--thank you so much for the touching poetry... you have a place in
my heart...a tear has fallen
I've been to your website, and have enjoyed your poems very much
indeed.
the poems
"sometime" and "Nutshell" really touched my soul from deep within, a true
blessing, thanks for sharing it with me and giving me a taste of joy in my
heart.
You write
very expressively, and I have enjoyed a few moments escape.
I do think your poems are wonderful!! I liked all of your poems,
and in no way could I choose a favorite!
I found your work to be exciting and inspiring...
I like your poems there really good
I love your poems.
You have captivated the imagination and are truly a gifted poet
with a deep understanding of love...A sense of gentleness and passion arises
from the words on the pages and give arise to the meaning of love... You have
the gift of expressing all that others feel within and I thank you and encourage
you to continue ...May you keep being inspired and continue with your gift...
Would you mind if I added your angel poem to my poetry site?
I love your site, the visual tranquility of these pages in contrast
with the visceral impact of your words, or more accurately your voice. rising
out of this quiet design, livid & ragged then suddenly whispering & whimsical &
of course there's that sarcasm, right at the edge... your paradoxes are
excellent, almost balanced between the existential extremes, as is necessary for
poetry, at least the way I see it. I love your site, have I mentioned that?
...your site is incredible... my coffee is now tepid... the laundry
in the dryer is probably wrinkled... I'm still behind the screen when I should
be out feeding the hungry or volunteering at the hospital.. but I'm here, and
I'm happy... *laughs*
I checked out your page, and I really enjoyed your poems. I must say that
you have some definite talent.
your poems are very heart felt
I love your poems
I love your poems. They are pretty, especially, "Beside You."
I did really enjoy your poetry, especially "I have no heart..." and
"Sometime...". I love the way you put the words together with such feeling.
I loved your birthday poem. It was really funny!
I just have to say damn I like it
Your poem was beautiful!!!! [Re: Birthday Poem]
there were some pieces of poetry that caught my fancy/eye. VERY
good stuff man, keep up the good work.
Those are really good poems. I enjoyed them a lot... they were
really true to the whole love thing ... so yeah. anyway I just wanted to say
that those poems were great.
Wow, what a great poem. You have been blessed with talent, I hope
you use it often and that it brings you much joy. Thank you for sharing your
talent with me. I will cherish it for a long time. [Re: Birthday Poem]
Your poem reminds me of my husband -- he hates lectures, unless of
course, he's giving one. [Re: Spare me the lecture, Father]
That is EXACTLY the kind of poetry I LOVE!!
Thank you ... I enjoyed your work.
Wow, those were great poems.
Thanx - I really enjoyed and trust there will be many more in the
future.
O Magi
speaks to a pain I've not known, but have glimpsed.
Thank you for the... chance to read and enjoy your poetry. It is
beautiful and reminded me of some the feelings and emotions that I have been
trying to find again. Relationships are hard, but the right words can put
everything in focus. Please continue to write the words that touch souls and
moves mountains.
I
really enjoyed your poems. I must say that you have some definite talent
I enjoyed all the pomes
As I was reading "Untitled (for a Reason)," I began to think of
just how easily the human mind bends, like clay to the sculptor. We teach
ourselves to fight and not to hurt, and perhaps we need to bleed a little bit. I
think this particular poem emphasizes the intensity that one gains in basic
independent thinking.
I checked out a few of the poems on your site. They are very impressive.
I like your poems a lot.
I enjoyed your poetry very much. What inspires you? Is it personal
events or observation? I will guess more of the personal event is in your words.
Your work flows very nicely... much like a gently stream. I hope to be invited,
again, to dance through your thoughts.
Well it is me again. I just finished another page of your work. I
was mesmerized. Thank you for sharing your work. I have truly enjoyed it.
I've enjoyed reading your poetry on the arcanum site. Know what,
I'm going to save it, to read again at leisure. I've a personal preference for
work that is structured, not necessarily by rhyme and rhythm, but work that
shows evidence that the words have been thought over, carefully selected for
emphasis, sound, alliteration, etc. I seem to read so much that just seems like
an outpouring of emotion, which, however valid and genuine, fails to impact
because of lack of thought and discrimination. Thanks for this. I find it highly
entertaining
By the
way, I don't know if you know this, but you were posting poetry a year or so ago
and this is what really revitalized ME as a poet. There was something about your
poetry that I really liked and I started writing again, which I hadn't done for
about 25 years. I just wanted to thank you for that.
I did read a few of your poems and enjoyed them very much. Have you
ever thought of publishing any of them?
There is a lot of crappy "poetry" out there... yours is not. It was
really interesting to read.
I visited your page, and I was impressed with the look and feel. It
has a very professional look, and also does a good job with the art. Nice art. I
enjoyed your poems and applaud the courage and tenacity it must have taken to
get them there.
The
poem is lovely. Just wanted to say THANKS. It made my birthday special. [Re:
Birthday Poem]
Me
gustó mucho el poema. [Re: Birthday Poem]
That was a great poem
I am really glad I found your page. They were very good poems.
What a gorgeous little website! Well done! I loved the poetry - you
sent me the URL and I stopped by, loved them so much that I decided to put them
up on my site as soon as possible. [Re: Linkware]
The poem was very nice, it made me smile! [Re: Birthday Poem]
I read a few of your poems - they are absolutely beautiful. You
must have a large amount of passion just welling up inside of you for something
so powerful to come out in such a poetic manner.
I wish I could write poems just as well as you... You don't know
what it means to me to read poems that I can actually relate to.
I really enjoyed reading your poems....they really made me think of
how deep someone's love can be...I hope to find someone to share these lovely
poems with..keep up this wonderful work..
Thank you so much for... your poems, they were very beautiful.
You are very talented.
you are the coolest!! it helped make my 16th birthday
just that much better!! you poem was super cool and made me smile!!!
totally cool
I like the poetry page a lot. Do you mean that those great poetry
are written by u? Whoa!!! In future, if u have any new pieces... please share
them with me
You
are a very talented poet and I enjoyed your poetry very much.
We have another poet who comes down from time to time, name of
Kevin Taylor, the drive-by poet. Every now and then a rock comes through the
cafe window with a piece of paper tied around it. That's Kev. Don't hold your
breath, and don't wait up late, you never know when he'll drop in, uh, drive by.
What a lovely poem! It's so whimsical and cheery--just my style!
... Did you just write it recently? I'm going to print it out and share it with
my friends! [Re: Birthday Poem]
...the birthday poem!!! It was beautiful!
... Beautiful words of inspiration :) Your girlfriend/wife/lover or
whoever must adore you!!
Kevin Taylor, the link to your poetry is the best birthday gift! Thank you
very, very much. My favorite of all (word person that I am) must be these four
lines:
And as the sun drew from its sliver
Silver skirted seas of slate
That day that God had twice divided
Saw her shadowed sun too late
Beautiful on many levels.
You are indeed greatly talented.
The poem is the sweetest thing I have ever read. I am going to
pretend that you wrote it JUST for me. [Re: Birthday Poem]
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the beautiful poem!!! That was
wonderful. In fact that was the nicest poem anybody has ever written to me!
(even if u send it out to others :) ) [Re: Birthday Poem]
I also looked at you site and read all your beautiful poetry. You
are very talented...
Your poems are beautiful and I would LOVE to read more....!!!
nice work.
your poetry means more to me than you would ever know. I laugh, I cry, I
treasure every word you write, you're words have helped through some tough
times, some hurtful times, and also good times. please keep touching every soul
you can possibly touch
As if you gripped my thoughts and twisted them into honest eloquence.
Thank you.
I
visited your web page and really loved it! Your poetry is so simple to
understand and follow . At the same time it shows you have such depth in your
awareness and feelings. Thank you so much for allowing me to share it.
Kevin, your poems are legendary. I read the main page and like
"beside you" most of all.
Thank you for the nice birthday wish. I appreciate the poem.
Usually my birthday's aren't that great for one reason or another, but the poem
really cheered me up and made me think that things will look up.
You have written some very fine poetries
Love your poetry
Very well done.
Your poetry goes far beyond reality.
Yet is sings to me.
Like soft whispers.
Your poems really touched my heart!!!
Your poems are beautiful.
you don't know how beautifully timed your message was and your
music is beautiful
I like your poetry very much
I thought your poems of love were just out of this world. I hope to
see more of them in the future. They really make my day.
I liked your poems. I think they are really good.
I LUV'D your poems. :o) the 16 one was my favorite. simple yet to
the point. keep on writing and feel free to send me some poems in e mails.
brighten my day with borrowed words :o)
I would like to copy some of your poetry into my journal, if that's
alright with you.
I
read every poem of yours and I really liked them. You are very talented, and
above all it is amazing the way you write...
WOW!!! Your poems are great.. I have found several that I liked..
Thank you so much for sharing them with me..I am going to save them in my
favorites file..Keep up the great work
I really love the poems you write... please keep writing ... you
could probably help some people out there.
Your poems are truly a treasure to read and ponder.
I have read thousands of poems.. and written a few myself. I found
your work to be exciting and inspiring...
your poems are wonderful!!
I enjoyed the poems.
I have really enjoyed your Poetry!
I love your poems. They are pretty, especially, "Beside You."
I enjoyed lines or phrases such as "between the iris and the glass"
and "tree-soul"
I
enjoyed your poetry very much
there were some pieces of poetry that caught my fancy/eye. VERY
good stuff man, keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing some more
Your site looks delicious. So understated and elegant. But the
poetry is the best.
the poetry isn't half bad. :o)
Kevin is one of those rare poets who can use words to create
feelings. I really got a kick out of reading them.
This has to be one of the most wonderful pages I have ever had the
pleasure to visit...it brings me a sense of tranquility and that is a rare gift
me thinks *S* I enjoyed your poems...your life story and I think...this will be
a place I come to again...

wonderful poet Kevin. May I have a favorite : "Beside You".

Nem5 Web Maggic Platinum Award of Excellence
You are the first to receive this award. Congratulations. Thank you so much for
all the work you share so beautifully. I have enjoyed many hours at your site.
It is one of my favorites.
Hurray, hazuzas, applause, noisemakers going. [Re: Razzmatazz]
I
viewed your page long enough, that my coffee got cold, my feet slowly made there
way off the floor and up, and my timer BUZZED after about three hours. Your
poetry is fabulous and the manner in which you present yourself through the
creativity of this site is brilliant.
I love your poetry. I think we
tend to think alike where love is concerned but you word yours much better than
mine. Keep writing, it's beautiful
...for some reason I started with
The Firefly Tales,, It was dark out when I read it, I was on the sea, and in the
storm, I felt sorrow, and fear, Beyond climbing away from the darkness, I was
inspired and with peace, upon reading Angelness, I will keep
reading them for a while, You are very serious and yet versatile, Always a
journey, always a ride.
you are a great writer
I enjoyed your poetry very much.
Enjoyed reading your
poetry...insightful & thoughtful. Your play on words...delightful.
beautiful web site -- loved the line ... "to make satan weep...." and the " if
every man you met was God..." [Re: O Magi + What if every man you met was
God...]
-Hey - nice poem ...you used a unique description of how the
'Muse' visits you :) ...very original! I loved the dialect :) [check earlier]
I really enjoyed some of your poems
Great poetry...!
excellent poetry
Wow. Wow, and more wow! Kevin, this page is so
wonderful! These pages, I should say. The words are beyond incredible. I love
the fact that you read some of them, and thoroughly enjoyed listening to your
voice. So much of a poem is personal, and it's unique to be able to hear the
author's point of view. Everything is faultless, and I can offer no suggestion
other than that you should keep writing until the day you die. You are
incredibly talented.
I have truly enjoyed reading your poetry... I
read poetry on a frequent basis, I suppose, and I read a lot of poetry published
online. Yours has struck a familiar chord upon reading, though... I will be back
to read more; it touches something personal inside. I really like "Angelness"
and I admire the way you are not afraid of writing what isn't expected. That
element is what gives beauty to your work.
That got both [of us]
laughing out loud! [Re: Spare me the lecture, Father]
Good poem
there, mate [Re: Spare me the lecture, Father]
Cute!!! :):) [Re:
Spare me the lecture, Father]
May I have your permission to share
this with a ... business associate and friend? [Re: Spare me the lecture,
Father]
I love the poem.
I've cut my teeth on the Clancy Brothers so I know how to read it in style. [Re:
Spare me the lecture, Father]
God, I laughed. I lived in Ireland for
3 years and that really took me back there. You must be Irish! ... Great poem!
[Re: Spare me the lecture, Father]
I really enjoyed your site, it
was filled with great poetry, very easy to navigate, and though the design is
simple, it is a lust for the eye! This site is a very welcome addition to our

What can I say but "Wow!" Your

and ponder about your work. It was good indeed.
Absolutely wonderful
page!! ...your poetry is excellent! keep up the fantastic work
This
is very beautiful (I'm quite fond of Oriential art) and your poetry is
exceptional. Thanks again!
wonderful poetry.
I liked a
lot of your poetry- you have some serious talent! :)~
I really
enjoyed your story and the poems.
Wow! You are an amazing man...
Such thought and wisdom... I am very impressed with your poetry, your site...
Your words are so beautiful... Thank you for sharing them with us, well with
me... : ) I can't wait to read more of your wonderful poetry...
I
stumbled across the Poetry Corner, where your gorgeous poem absolutely took my
breath away... May I post a copy of it near my writing table? [Re: Incandescent]
enjoyed "spare me the lecture father"
I just visited your poetry
site again, and once again, I feel like I've gotten a boost of spiritual
communion. I love your work. I'm so critical of poetry, usually, unless it
really speaks to me personally I have a really hard time reading it. Yours
speaks to me personally, and it's so smooth and beautiful, too. High
communication and high aesthetics.
your poetry has old world charm
but "Pageant Of Dawn" is my fav by far this has a feel of life of death of cold
but waiting for the sun to come and make you warm once again which the sun can
be compared to love in many ways this poem is like a love poem of the night and
of the day very lovely like the poet's words that dance before the readers
eyes... and one more thing your layout of your page is beautiful like being in a
magic garden just as the first morning star wakes in the pink sky
Good stuff! I'm no expert but I tink yive captured yer Irish brogue. [Re: Spare
me the lecture, Father...]

You have a great talent... I liked the one titled "Nutshell"
Wow.
Your poetry is amazing
I enjoyed very much visiting again and
reading your wonderful, thoughtful, and thought provoking poetry. Your poetry
has much beauty as well as wisdom and truth
My God! Words fail me.
Thank goodness they don't fail you!! I love it!!
... I think this would make a fantastic song, or ballad. Do you ever set poems
to music? [Re: Raggy Boney Souls]
I really like the poetry and the
layout of this site. My visit here was very peaceful.
You are a
superlative poet. You do well with those dialects. [Re: Raggy Boney Souls]
Fun, and wise. [Re: Accident]
I visited your site and put a big, big
bookmark on it. You are an awesome poet.
Thanks for signing our
guestbook and leaving us some very nice poetry.
Elegant and
attractive website. Each web page is appealing and simply delightful. Thanks for
the wonderful visit. You have an excellent home page.
Dear Friend!
...Yours is a wonderful site, especially the Haikus and the poetic background.
Keep writing more things of light.. to brighten our long dark night.
great work Kevin
I have just read several of your poems. I read the
one entitled "Sometimes..." I like it best of all. Using the metaphor of the
chair at the end... very moving.
You are deft in the wielding, words
are left yielding, folks are left-fielding gathering them up! (allow me to
borrow a few of your words) - Thank-you for inviting me to your poetry pages. I
find that the trip has been more than worthwhile and that I am leaving with a
pocketful of poems and a bookmark for several friends!
I liked
these. [Re: miku]
I did enjoy your poetry immensely.
Amazing! You're poems are some of the best I have ever read! I'd have to say
that my favorite is Psychiatree.
Thanks for... sending me your web
site with your poetry - it was wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed it all.
Very nice pages. Beautiful poetry. Interesting life.
I just read it
... and love it, and think it's perfect! This is really great. [Re: Raggy Boney
Souls]
wow. that about covers it. think you've got the entire
curriculum in there, including the hidden ones. [Re: How to write a poem...]
Great line (as I'm sure you already know <g>) - to dance upon the lips of Death
one last time [Re: How to write a poem]
I've enjoyed reading your
poetry on the arcanum site. Know what, I'm going to save it, to read again at
leisure. I've a personal preference for work that is structured, not necessarily
by rhyme and rhythm, but work that shows evidence that the words have been
thought over, carefully selected for emphasis, sound, alliteration, etc. I seem
to read so much that just seems like an outpouring of emotion, which, however
valid and genuine, fails to impact because of lack of thought and
discrimination. Thanks for this. I find it highly entertaining
You
have won the Crazyboy Hot
site of the week. [April 20th, 1999]
I did enjoy your poetry
immensely.
You are a poet Kev. and that's the simple truth.
That is the truth.
...very poignant.. [Re: Veni vidi lamentari]
I just finished another page of your work. I was mesmerized.
In
Tiger words... Grreeaaattt! Love the "can't be hanged twice" analogy. Very
Clever! and your use of the vernacular is very effective. It gives a strong
sense of character. and the rhymes scheme and slant rhymes, o, me o my... O and
the whimsy.... [Re: Spare me the lecture, Father...]
Good God man!
You must be a lyric archaeologist.
You have unearthed the root of all do-wop! [Re: Joy of Kitchen]
I
truly enjoyed your Black Verse. Especially "How to write a poem". And yes,
"Sometime..." The last 3 lines made me laugh. I liked the humor in the end.
I really loved the way you handled this poem. Goofy dialects can (and VERY often
do) end in such atrocious disasters. Also, it's very hard to write a decent
get-the-hell-off-my-back poem without looking like a whining little wuss. You've
overcome so many pit traps in only three stanzas!!!!!! I envy you. [Re: Spare me
the lecture, Father...]
I liked this, Kevin. It's very wry and the
line breaks are wonderful. [Re: Spare me the lecture, Father...]
I
can't offer critique, but I think you've done a good job here. I enjoyed it.
Like the way you ended this as well! Nice work [Re: Spare me the lecture,
Father...]
Your work reminds me of Taoist writings I have studied.
[Some] poetry is meant to shock and cause dissension.... yours is peaceful and
calm and has much more feeling... Yours is meant for caring adults (of all
ages). Thank you for sharing.
As I was reading "Untitled (for a
Reason)," I began to think of just how easily the human mind bends, like clay to
the sculptor. We teach ourselves to fight and not to hurt, and perhaps we need
to bleed a little bit. I think this particular poem emphasizes the intensity
that one gains in basic independent thinking... Thank you - I will come again
and again.
I love the layout of your pages...so elegant and
understated! ... I enjoyed reading your work!
Wow! I had never
imagined that something like this could be done. Too cool. [Re: Joy of Kitchen]
I love everything I've read so far.
WOW A+ [Re: Raggy Boney Souls]
Really liked this Kevin! :) [Re: Spare me the lecture, Father...]
I
love the galloping rhythm of your poem that keeps me moving! [Re: The
psychiatric doctor...]
Lovely. Just absolutely stunning. I must say
that I am very surprised indeed. You're not a *girl*, nor a *teen*, nor
*depressed* nor a *Tori Amos* quoter. I am very, *very* pleased. I enjoy
learning from those with actual *life experience* and wisdom. Which you
definitely have. I loved the life story - the audio idea is just great. The
story of you and your wife was just incredible and so dramatic and romantic. I
Also loved the poetry - incandescent was just, . . . wow. Well, I shall leave
now, I don't like rambling on in a groupie-esque fashion... ::smile:: I will
return.
Just wanted to say that I REALLY love "Beside You"..... you
write very expressively and beautifully
I really enjoyed your poems.
Forgive me, your poetry is lovely, but I feel I must apologize in advance for
getting the most enjoyment out of your "Irish Ditty": I chuckled a great deal,
and I do like to chuckle.
You have a beautiful homepage and I love
the poetry. I think "If Every Man Were God" is my favorite.
You have
a great talent for poetry, and I appreciate the simplicity and honesty of your
art. Keep up the great work, and congratulations.
I have made a
return visit to your incredible site and read most of your poetry and it is
truly of immeasurable excellence.
I have enjoyed many hours at your
site. It is one of my favorites.
VERY cool! [Re: Accident]
Made me smile.
Your other one, about the gypsy souls, made me cry.
Very excellent.
This is great! [Re: Raggy Boney Souls]
AMAZING! I love it! [Re: Raggy Boney Souls]
:):) Great poem! [Re:
Raggy Boney Souls]
You are amazing Kevin. ...and you continue to
write things I read. [Re: Raggy Boney Souls]
I enjoyed that! [Re:
Raggy Boney Souls]
Cool poem! [Re: Raggy Boney Souls]
Amazingly beautiful. What else can I say? Please keep up the unique work
"Excellence is the final step for success" You, my friend are damn near close.
Your webpage is one of the best out there. ...
What a wonderful
website, filled with good design and thought-provoking poetry. Thank you
Dear god, this site is beautiful... in so many glorious ways. Captivating,
lovely, and delightful.
Bravo, friend. Bravo
Ok, You have an awesome talent for writing. I
have only been writing for about 3 years and love when poetry isn't modern!!!
and yours is definitely not [written in the] modern way of writing. Love the use
of words etc..GREAT JOB!
beautiful works here, the Irish ditty was
great, light, caring, free works
I've been to your site before and
like always your site is pure excellence. It looks like a classic. The poetry is
so unique, that sometimes I feel like [I am] reading from a 16th century poet.
Not to say that you're old :)
I've found myself often returning to
your page for its incredible content and passionate approach... you inspire my
writing I must say...
I love the poems. They're unique and special
I was touched by the word's of your poetry.
I wanted to know, have you always had a poets heart? ...
Something you wrote made me pull out a few of my journals and start to write
again.
Hey! This is one 'heck of a' cool poetry site!... would it be
okay if I were to link your site at mine?
I love your poetry web
site
My first encounter with a site of such genuine reading - look
forward for more
I love that! [Re: 1999]
Whoa dude, cool
poem, that bit of work bounced round nicely in my head, made it a pleasant read!
If you keep writing this stuff, I'll keep readin it dude! Its very good......
[Re: I am not your teacher...]
Liked this one Kevin [Re: Beloved]
Very nice Kevin! [Re: Beloved]
I adored this... I enjoyed the flow
and the enchantment so much, I read it four times. [Re: Razzmatazz]
this is sweet.. [Re: Between 16s]
Quite entertaining, thanks! [Re:
Pannin' fer Rhymes]
I reckin' this is one of the best thangs from
you I ever read. Yep. [Re: Pannin' fer Rhymes]
Excellent rhyme
scheme, lively meter, great execution. [Re: Stone Age]
I like this
one, it rings so true. [Re: Razzmatazz]
Great piece of work! I
picked up a beat the first verse and a tune the second. Pat yourself on the
back! [Re: Raggy Boney Souls]
I LOVE this poem! I am really enjoying
reading your work [Re: Beloved]
loved your poem!!!!
it's one of those you have to read under your breath to hear your tongue trip
down the words like water down a rocky stream. [Re: Razzmatazz]
I
luv it. [Re: 1999]I like it a lot, kind of a cross between Shel Silverstein,
Lewis Carroll, and the poems in Calvin and Hobbes :^>
It's fun, I'm gonna save it. Re: Psychiatree]
Wow! I'm kinda' at a
loss to how I should comment on this...needless to say I loved it. It just came
from a world of imagination so far away I'm not sure I'd be able to get anywhere
near it. It was like one long mind-expanding ride through another world which I
suppose is exactly what art is meant to be. Or it was just funny. [Re:
Ripple-tide]
wow... very good. [Re: Razzmatazz]
er...
interesting, to say the least [Re: Raggy Boney Souls]
Wow, over
whelming
(I really liked this poem) [Re: 1999]
I enjoyed your stuff quite a
bit... Particularly enjoyed the Pannin' fer Rhymes bit.
As far as where good poetry can be found online, well, it's pretty rare.
Honestly, your site is one of the first I've seen.
Naughty boy! Boy,
was this a fun one to read! [Re: Psychiatree (a satire in verse)]
Verrey Nice. [Re: Accident]
Lovely love poem. [Re: Beloved]
great work on this...have you written the music? [Re: Raggy Boney Souls]
an absolutely finely designed and beautiful love poem! good, unobvious rhyme
too, no small feat. [Re: Beloved]
Having had six books published and
spending weeks and weeks searching various web sites (most of it bad poetry) it
was a pleasure to find arcanum cafe and read some good stuff.
I believe Members of the Jury...was your best effort
I have visited
your sight quite often and am continually inspired by your poetic works on
whole.
Beyond literary readings, journal and 'zine publication (electronic or print) as
well as a current honours undergraduate degree in English Lit. and Creative
writing with the prospective opportunity to attend the Humber School of Writing
this coming July, I would like you to know that I do indeed admire your work
from a critical as well as artistic standpoint.
Great poem you
posted in the ng.....one of the best of yours I've read.
for some
reason that was pretty cool.. I mean I dunno what about it , but something
caught my attention (that's purdy hard to do) .. I likes. [Re: Psychiatree]
I can hear this piece being said by a cracked out band with a buncha riffs
cutting over much of the words... if that makes any sense... fast tempo I
believe [Re: Psychiatree]
What struck me about your poetry was its
power. The power of a man who has explored many spaces. A man of this earth. And
yet it is shot all through with spirituality.
I liked your poem
I hit your link this morning and your page is beautiful! You can bet I'll be
exploring it further! Gotta get ready for work now though. I did browse the miku
... Good, nourishing work!
Way to go, Kevin...(the new
guru!)!!!!!!!!!! Perfect.
Beautiful Kevin!
It's beautiful.
That was wonderful.
Very cool.
Beautiful! Moving and all... Thanks.
Very aesthetic!
Awesome, Kevin!
That was very beautiful, Kevin.
Very
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's very, very nice, Kevin. Thank you very
much!
Romantic this one, with its lavish and extravagant sense of
itself. Nicely done. Fade to grey to green and shade in between, most colorful
and exciting the hues of passion that spin out and beyond. [Re: Beside You]
Beautiful website Kevin! I'm bookmarking it and sending the address to all of my
network.
Man, you have got some awesome poetry - my favorites were nutshell and seraphim
You have a great talent... I have read a few other poem pages on the web but I
must say I like yours the best ... keep up the writing
Very nice
poem, I like it.
Another classic. Wonderful! Thank you very much!
[Re: Last Will]
I just read your "Last Will". I wanted to tell you
that I am proud to know such a rabble-rouser...-)
Nice concept for a poem. I wished I had thought of it.
a tour de
force, unforced! [Re: Razzmatazz]
Bravo! [Re: Razzmatazz]
Wonderful!!! [Re: Razzmatazz]
Poet, how you rhyme with ease.
Please do not take offense
at this poorman's flattery,
'tho rhyme is new as fresh-churned
cheese, and alliteration walks
the road of time, so much that
passes now for free
is merely so much flatulence.Thanks, I'll have a chaw of my mixed
metaphor now and doff my Pioneer Seed floppy hat to you. [Re: Razzmatazz]
This isn't easily done-- why you don't see many of them on poetry
sites. The free wheel rolls faster down hill, than a rhymer rolling one up.
This poem is a defense for rhyme-- not unlike Samuel Daniel's defense of the art
against Campion's claims that rhyme too jackets the poet, that "it enforceth a
man oftentimes to abjure his matter, and extends a short conceit beyond all
bounds of grace."
Count me as one of rhyme's defenders too.
I think this poem very good. [Re: Razzmatazz]
Just a note to say I
very much enjoyed your poem 'Razzmatazz'
Amen [Re: Last Will]
Great poem, Kevin! I got chills.
Love this, Kevin. [Re: I am not
your teacher...]
I thought your poetry was really good, especially
liked "Members of the Jury...".
I like this. Nicely done.
ABSOLUTELY adored "Beside You" as a particularly clever poem, deeper than it
looks at first value!!!
Kevin is perfectly capable of enigmatic (and
deliciously so ;) [Re: I am not your teacher...]
Nice page of love
poems
I went by your homepage and read a few of your poems. You're
very good ... I guess you sort of knew that already.
I visited your
site and loved it. I think it's really aesthetic and simple. Nice.
Impressive. :o)
Absolutely loved your poetry. I haven't read all
yet.. I'll be back. Loved "I am," and "Tao". You obviously have a way with
words.
I love this! Did you write it? It's about the most clever use
of words I have seen, ever. "Premeditated meter"!! That is terrific! [Re:
Members of the Jury...]
What beautiful words you have written here.
The poem you sent was exquisite! [Re: Aurora Angelis]
My favorites:
Spirit-essence, Angelness, I am and O Magi. My, you are talented!
What an absolutely visually stunning site! Really really great! I'm sure I'll be
here for quite awhile enjoying all this site has to offer! Great job!
Kevin, your site is very lovely. You have taken such care in your graphics and
layout. Wonderful! ... I enjoyed your writing, and you're right, our "I Am"
poems are so very similar. So where were we in another life, eh?
Did
you write Angelness? ... I think it is beautiful.
Actually, I read the poem in a Scottish brogue. I thought it most ingenious with
the way it flowed that way and challenged me to puzzle it out.Some artful

You know, one of the things I enjoy most about your writing is that
I am constantly learning new words and about new things such as fiddleheads!

Bravo!
Kevin , WOW !!! I really Loved this one !!!!!!
[Re: Am I...]
I liked the poem, Kevin, the style with which you
presented the message, although I think I disagree with it, twas well writ. [Re:
Am I...]
What a wonderful poem. [Re: Pretend...]
Award
from Ed's Cad Designs
Excellent. Simply excellent.
Your page is absolutely incredible.
Your words are like soft whispers of love. Thank you for sharing your beautiful
talent.
Kevin: your site is superb... simply damn good. "I am the fulcrum" was
particularly significant to me.
The Vivek Award
Much to read and I've placed a bookmark to return. did wander through poetry on
poetry and spirit-essence... excellent
the poems are awesome
Just finished reading some poetry about the spirit and love in your web site and
bookmarked it for more pleasure later.
You wrote some very nice
poetry.
WOW! What words you weave! What pictures! What power! Great
poem Kevin! [Re: Aurora Angelis]
Enjoyed the poetry.
Oh!
Shakespearean and well-spun! [Re: Aurora Angelis]
...well... you
could keep writing beautiful poems. I'd say you have one helluva good start,
Kevin. I'll keep my eyes open for yours.
Congratulations, your work
has been accepted into the Cybertown Showcase!
Damn good poem, Kevin!
I like a poem with a ramrod message.
Call me a snob, but I haven't
much cared for the poetry that I've seen - quite the contrary. Yours, though,
was an exception.
I do so love your poetry. It has a whisper of
Shakespeare and a hint of the old Druid flame, but it comes from you, that is
apparent.
I do enjoy your poetry. You're quite good.
I
write some poetry as well, and I read others', but there is not too much of what
I read that I enjoy. I enjoy yours, and I understand it.
Bravo...
[Re: To the wind, these words...]
I think you are a wonderful poet

Lovely, Kevin.
I like that, Kevin.
Thanks!
Nice poem. Thank you. Yes, let's reclaim our divinity. It is
overdue.
Good poem, Kevin.
This is a very impressive
poem.
I liked your poem. Would it be OK if I forwarded it to my 19
year old son...
Bravo, Bravo!!
Nice poem!
Geez, guy! It's ... very strong. Very ... old memories.
One thing is for certain ... you should keep writing ... and SHARE!
:)
That was great
Okay, Kevin, now you're makin' me wish

Thank you for sharing!
this is soooo
darling! thanks!! and thanks for that rhythm idea...
This is good!
Does it have music?
Wow, great imagery throughout. I like it a lot!
Aesthetic, cleverly simple and efficient , and VERY playful!!
Love it!
Good poem
That was the most most beautiful
poetry. You took me there. I have been there with you, and I'm positive others
too. I'm a jazz singer and composer...and an artist, like you. Great, just
great.
The Critical Mass Award
Very nice.
wow! very clever. meter and rhyme scheme really added to the levity of the poem.
I found myself snickering in a couple of places.
Very elegant!!!
Great poem
Your poetry, if you will forgive my evaluation, is not
only aesthetic and highly impinging communication with emotional impact - it is
clever and intelligent. This is a quality that I also appreciate and find very
stimulating... It is [Re: Psychiatree]...satire (and quite brilliant in my
opinion - absolutely cuttingly hilarious!)
:-))))))))
Ouch! Very strong! I think it says it all!
I just visited and read
and laughed my head off. I REALLY enjoyed your page, and your poetry. Well done!
P.S. especially love the shanty and the psychiatree ones!!!
interesting style. have you written anything else?
I really did like
the style. I am verbose and turgid but don't like same in poetry I read.
...those were really great, I duplicated the tone from which they were
communicated and I enjoyed them VERY MUCH! Please write more like them, if you
get the inspiration! They are appreciated, and I know others would appreciate
them too, if not everyone.
After I read your poems, I thought you should publish a book of poetry. Have
you? Will you? I'd buy it! Last book of poetry I bought was by Zbigniew Herbert,
of all people, great 20th century Russian poet, but I'd run right out and buy
yours!
I read it, Kevin, and it's awesome
Great poem.
Clean lines. Precise.
...I realized what I like about YOUR poetry -
it is so damned HIGH TONED! You are so gamesy and spirit of play, and I love
that!
Well done! Shorts are not as easy as they look! [Re: O Magi]
That made me fly! Fantastic
Gotta tell you man this one has
potential, and definitely rocks!!! Great work!
Wonderful imagery
there.
Great poem to read, it's dark and thoughtful.
Kevin, that's
absolutely, eloquently beautiful!
Key Site Award for Excellence
Nicely done! Such lovely mythology!
And thanks for the poem, most
certainly applies (applied) to me, too!!! I like it very much.
love
your poems
Nice. Very nice verse, Kevin. Keep doing it.
Great poem! Thanks for sharing.
It's very, very nice, Kevin.
You are a master.
This one really duplicates exactly the way I
feel..
Good one! I'm sure many people will really enjoy this one.
Nice, Kevin. Very nice...
Nice!
Great poem. I feel the
same way...
This is very cool Kevin, thanks :)
Thanks
Kevin, for another jewel!
I think your poems are wonderful
Kevin, may I gush if only for a moment? I have read, listened, inhaled, and
gorged myself on your words. fabulous, fantastic, facetious, even familiar. you
are extremely talented (though I suspect you know this already) and your words
speak, shout out even, of the purity of poetry.
thank you for your
time, and believe me when I say, your poetry touched me, you have phenomenal
talent.
Very nice...
WOW! What words you weave! What
pictures! What power! Great poem Kevin!
I like this one Kevin!
Bravo!
Very Nice!
The reality of your poem has touched
me very deep Kevin....and I cry now from the thoughts of almost might have
beens. [Re: The last thought to form...]
I just wanted to say that I
finally listened to your poetry - and it sounds wonderful!! Well done. I
especially like the Stone Age Poet - absolutely brilliant!
I can
remember the 60's and 70's [hard to believe, hun] poem's were poem's back in
them days... hahaha commune's and religions were founded on one good poem, a
poem much like the one you wrote...
I personally thought it was
marvelous... I thought it was hilarious and so right on!
What a
glorious site, you must be proud of such an achievement. I must say I enjoy your
poetry very much indeed, I have a quick question, what's your motivation? what
fate has befallen you to create such passion?
Great poems...!
I really like your works.
...an absolutely outstanding piece. I have
printed it out and read it 19 times a day. There is not a word out of place and
it says everything there is to say. Your work is getting finer by the day.
... nice Kevin ... reminded me of Wordsworth ... Keats ... I've witnessed the
lights and they are magnificent ... you have, in a subtle, perhaps surreal
fashion ... captured the images. Thank you for that. [Re: Aurora Angelis]
... beautiful meter and subtle images are .... oh, I don't know ... Taylorian
... very nice piece.
I generally don't like poetry. In fact, I don't
even read it. But this one made me stop, I read, and I really loved it. It
reminds me of a sonnet. Very very nice.
This is DEEP, it grows upon
me as I read it again!
You are unbelievable. I love your concepts.
I really like this one!
I love your poem
Love it. Write
more.
Such a nice construction this poem has! It really communicates
the situation and the feeling, elegantly.
Beautiful Poem, Kevin.
Very nice.
Kevin, This is beautiful! May I have your permission to
pass it on to others
This is a very sweet poem, Kevin.
Thanks. I really liked this one.
I like this, Kevin. Good work.
Love it Kev!
Extremely beautiful. Interesting - I seldom *ever* read
the ... postings. Something about yours (title + the communication itself )
called to me. Wow.
I like this very much. :-)
Very
sweet, thanks
Beautiful!!!!!
This is yummy!
Beautiful poem!
Loved the poem.
Good one Kevin! I liked
this a lot. I haven't seen the Aurora Borealis for a number of years. Your poem
definitely captured its essence. [Re: Aurora Angelis]
Wow! What a
poem!
I must tell you that in my opinion you have moved up to a new
and higher plateau in your poetizing. I love your poems. They now seem more
succinct, more meaty, more packed, even more like poetry!! They stay with you.
They inform and tease.
I loved this poem. It really impinged on me.
thanks you so much for sharing it - I decided it was my present for the new
year!!
Nice one! Made me smile and amused me.
Great
poetry today Kevin.
I really enjoyed your poems
Kevin,
this is fine, fine work. A simple but ultra-classy site design, great poetry,
and the best author bio I've found yet, the latter two made all the better by
the fact that I could listen to you rather than just read. Hooray for streaming
audio!
I bow to the king, who has ruptured my mind.
In
One Word Kevin... Fantastic!!! Nutshell ... Love ...
and I Am were some
of my favorites
Kevin, I love your site. Fab layout and design,
really easy to move around and your poetry just sings! I love "Voodoo" that made
me giggle with malicious glee and I will definitely be back again to read all of
your work when I can spend some more time on the Net. Thank you for creating
such a beautiful place on the web!
I wanted to send u e-mail to
thank u .. and tell u how much I like ur site .. ur poetry of course is... I am
afraid that my words will look ugly in front of them and ... the design of ur
page is also great u are great poet .. web designer ... I am proud to "know" u
Surfing ur site makes me feel good :)
Your poem "I am" is stunning!
"Beside You"...it is, well divine. I absolutely adore it. "Her altar hips, your
praying lips..." The poem was at once sad, yet made me smile. I am bookmarking
it. It touched me...and that, is beyond mere words. Thank you.
I
really enjoyed the poetry.
I especially love your Irish Ditty !!!
The poetry is wonderful and heart felt. It's good enough stuff that if I saw it
at a book store I would pick it up and buy it.
Really like "Fold Me"
specially I liked the romantic poems
I like your work... you do a
good job.
I loved your poetry.
Your poems were just
FANTASTIC... Your imagination was superb... Well Done!
I like your
poetry
I have only read the Romance section but I really enjoyed
your work... I am sure I will enjoy all as much as I enjoyed what I have read so

I love the poetry...I feel
sometimes I am the only one out there that loves all kinds of poetry and my
favorites are poems that make you reach deep within to appreciate what you are
reading.. You have done an excellent job....I will visit here often...
I really enjoyed reading your poetry. I particularly liked the ones on
Spirituality...
The spiritual stuff is not only poetic, but thought
provoking!
Keep up the good work
Well Kevin I must
say!!! Your poetry is beautiful...for sure I will bookmark you page...:o)
I especially like the aesthetics of your web page as well as your poetry.
We have enjoyed your original poetry, and you have a wonderful selection... We
especially liked the poems of yours entitled "Space Tag" and "The Perfect Word".
You have wonderful talent.
Though I have only read the Romantic
poetry thus far, I must tell you that your work is truly great! I especially
loved, "Beside you." You have such a unique way of expressing emotions. I have
bookmarked your page to return for more! Also, your pages are very beautiful!
Great Page.....loved your poetry.
What a great web site you have...
I just love it!
Hello..I was fluttering by looking at all the
wonderful sites and found yours..Most interesting to say the least..Beautiful
poetry..
I loved your poetry... Great work, and keep it up...
Your site is excellent & so is your poetry. Never stop writing.
Wonderful.
As a patron of the arts, I love your poetry. Thank you
for sharing it.
I must say... your poetry is EXQUISITE. I love it.
It's beautiful, wonderful, fabulous and all sorts of other superlatives that I
haven't thought of yet.
I love your poetry
I enjoyed
your poetry- especially the apocalyptic "Pageant of Dawn".
Great Job
Kevin!! I really enjoyed your poetry, please keep on writing...the net never has
enough poetry...
I'm back for some more honey from the hive of one
of the best writers on the web. I just dance inside your words...and am
captivated by the seamless way you weave a web of delight. ... TO ALL WHO SEE
THIS. This is a benchmark site, a landmark for hallowed words. Stay...and read.
Its an experience you won't soon equal or forget. Thank you, Kevin, for sharing
your soul with all of us.
great poetry
I truly enjoyed
your poetry. "Lady Lady" reminded me of Emily Dickinson
What a
sensationally constructed site - elegant, thoughtful and blazing with an honesty
and humour too that is wonderful to behold. As the web fills with this magic,
surely the world is made richer.
Nice. This is my second visit and I
will return again and again. For a poetry fix, this will do very nicely. Thanks
for turning me on.
When a web site makes you pause, linger,
download, bookmark, laugh/cry, and return again and again, you know you've
struck a goldmine - and that the webmaster has the Midas touch. My gratitude,
Kevin. Keep the entrance open!
Oh Kevin, what wonderful poems!!....I
really loved the time I spent in your pages. I'm definitely coming back for
more...
Your site is pretty cool. The poetry is excellent.
Your poetry deserves the credit of interesting also non-english speakers, such
as this one. It's been a pleasure to read it and to listen to it. What a
wonderful idea! I've bookmarked it and will come back for more.
I
love the sound & the fluency of your poetry. It's sort of flippant & funny & so
honest.
enjoyed your poetry!
Kevin!!!! Delighted,
inspired, laughing and wondrous! How much I enjoyed myself is only indicated by
the HOUR AND A HALF that I spent here! So much pleasure in your words... Your
humor and satire are quick witted and wry and yet there is great poignancy in
your other words. A real poet encompasses ALL feelings...Pure delight! I'm glad
I made my way here...bookmarking for more..
I really enjoyed the
Samuel Clemmins on acid twist that camouflaged absolute great poetic work.
Haven't read everything yet but I will, ya'll count on it, hear?
I
love it even more reading it again. It's really a great poem. Publish a book.
Really! Well, at least one copy, for me! I think you're great!
Very nice and quite well put.
...this poem expresses a sentiment we have all experienced.
Thanks
Aw Kevin..that's great - you got me!
:)
I liked this piece a lot. Really well- written, and it flows beautifully.
I really like poems like this... Ones that I can understand. Some are just too
esoteric for me, I have to admit, but I sure liked this one!
Thought
this was great!
well done and thank you for reminding all of us!!
Really enjoyed that little ditty!
Very nice and quite well put.
Really nice poem. I enjoyed it immensely and I don't say that lightly.
I have read this one again and it still has that affect of "such few words
spoken have said so much." excellent job...It is not so easy to say so much in
so few words. [Re: O Magi]
The American Legion - Post 694, Gold Wing of Excellence Award
Kevin, this is brilliant!
Enjoyed your poems!
Very nice!
The darkness is DEEP------------- here. SATAN WEEPS? [Re: O Magi] Awesome
hyperbole! For sins this deep there is no personal atonement. Only Christ can
cleanse sins this deep and give a hopeful outlook. You're a unique talent. Keep
on writing. God bless you! Good to meet you.
Wow! so much said in
just a few words! Look forward to reading more of your work!
Nice. I
don't read all the poems, but that one attracted my eye, especially the heading.
It was very nice.
Great poem
I really love this poem...
I printed this poem out to save. I really like it a lot.
Mr. Taylor,
you have impressed me much in recent days. I love this one. Keep em coming!
Your work is by far some of the BEST and most creative-non-mushy work I've seen.
I loved every one of them!!
Creative Writing Award
Clever poem.
I Like your latest oeuvre!
I've noticed a
common denominator to all your poems (my perception of): They are all FUN! even
the "serious" ones, to me, include the spirit of play, even if ever so subtly.
I must say this is excellent.
wonderful and clever, clever, clever!
I Like it !
well I like it...
Absolutely fantastic! I
really enjoyed this!
Well done! ...You are very talented! Keep em
coming!
The poem - brilliant!
I liked the whole thing.
That is really very nice.
Bravo again!
marvelous! so
well done!
Wow. I'm glad I chose today to visit this group, or else
I would have missed this powerful and moving piece. Thank you.
Great! Very powerful sounds and rhythms which convey the sense of conflict! Well
done!
Clever and cute. Liked it a lot. Unfortunately lately I've
read a lot of poetry that should be illegal. Some might say I've written some
myself! Especially liked...premeditated meter and ...a declaration of words!
Nicely done!
When I first quickly read this it seemed frivolous and
capricious. Something made me go back, however, and read it again slowly. Then
it hit me. This is a wonderful piece. The closing is great! Thank you so much.
We Care Award
Great job! Very well-written.
I enjoy your poems a lot, but this one
is my favorite... I love it!
Kevin, I loved the line 'rise on
screaming sterling wings'. nice job.
Pretty good, Kevin, pretty
good.
I enjoyed it
The flow in this poem is
wonderful...Fantastic job
You have quite a poetic voice and a way
with words. Bold. Precise. Capturing.
I love you - you are the
greatest - what a wonderful poem!!! Do you know how clever you are? I really
love it.
Damn, Kev!
Nice work!!
Very cool!
This is truly masterful, Kevin.
Thanks for writing it.
Clap! Clap Clap Clap Clap!

nice! :)
This is great, Kevin.
THAT WAS A GREAT
POEM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo! Bravo!

Great poem. ( maybe

Members of the Jury
... drove by my home early this morning and invaded my space with a happy
playful aesthetic wavelength that still shimmers in my study as I write to you.
Thank you
GA's Bronze Award
Well done! Yes.. Very well done.
after reading your last two poems
today - the A to Z poem and Members of the Jury - I had to write and acknowledge
your creations. So thank you ... for these creations.
The first two lines of Members of the Jury stopped me live in my tracks, the
rest was just as impinging and I have not recovered all day. Thank you.
Thanks for that great poem. I enjoyed it.
I like that a to z poem...
Thanks
Oh, BTW, I looooved your A-Z!
Awesome Kev, I
really liked it.
I love it
Terrific!!
I love
it!
Wow, I am quite impressed! That was not an easy feat.
Kool, Kev!
Started my day with a smile, thanks to you!
I do not usually read
the poems ... but yours intrigued me so I gave it a go and was pleasantly
surprised.
I like it, it reminds me of Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.
Great meter. I also like the light hearted drive-by versing piece I read the
other day. Thank-you for sharing this work
Nice rhythms, like a
falcon in the winds.
...I had printed it out so I could take it with
me and read it again and again, and was in such a rush that I left it in the
printer - I was so disappointed. I think it's very terrific!
This
poem really is incandescent. I have an afterimage in my eyelids when I close
them now.
You are a gifted wordsmith!
I really enjoyed
reading your verse. It has a touch of the old zeppelin magic!
keep up the poems man!
Beautiful Kevin! Your poetry is truly poetry.
I love your use of the "precise language"...
I love the classical
quality of your poetry. We don't get to talk like that very much any more, and
it's a pleasure to hear "the old ways."
Best of the Web Award
The Silver Dawn Award
ABSOLUTELY
SPLENDID!
This is very good. This has epic potential - both in subject matter and
composition. Would you consider extending it? Regardless - it has reached that
in my universe as it says so much with so few words while leaving vast gulfs of
mystery to speculate and create on.
One of my more favored metaphors,
Thanks
hello! I loved your poem!!!!
Good Job.
That was cool! Thanks Kevin.
Very nicely done.
Enjoyed
your latest posted poem. That hit home for me!!
Hey, nice poem
again.
I have read all of your poems and they are all GREAT!
Thanks
Thanks for the many poems.
I really like your
poems and thanks for sharing them.
Your last poem that you wrote =
"If I call you - love" - I thought was
great!
I LOVED YOUR POEM!!! I expected a "cute" poem, but got
instead a really GOOD poem.

I loved it.
Pure fun and delight. Bravo! Bravo!
Great poem.

Very cool, Kevin.
I read your poetry page
for breakfast! Nourishing and quite tasty...
Oh, it's wonderful! I
love it! ...it's very light and fun and entertaining.
By the by, you
have a fan club, my... best friend ...and myself were speaking last night about
poetry for some reason ... We both commented how much we like your poetry.
I really like your tricycle poem. I love how you capture the essence of
something and communicate it so fully with rhyming words.
It makes me wonder if there are bandwidths to poetry.
I love this
piece!!
let me congratulate you
Snooped some of yer
poems. This is way cool!
The poems are great... It's a gift to be
able to use words like that.
This is really delightful, besides that
it is awfully good poetry.
Send more.
yummy poem!! ;) it's very vivid to the point of giving me
chills up and down my spine. "the poetry of red and white the poetry of pedaled
motion"... great!! ... my favorite line would have to be "left the trike and
kept the rust", tho. thanks very much for posting it!! =)

A very great job here Kevin. WRITE ON!!
Very catchy poem, well done.
Good rhythm, and I danced along.
Delightful!!!!
Liked
this one a lot!!!
Great!
I really enjoy narrative
poetry! [Re: How to write a poem]
LOVED the poem
Your
poetry is really good. I checked off boxes only because it was something to do,
but in normal circumstances I would have thought it really inappropriate to
comment on such great material. I particularly love the thing about how to be a
poet - really spot-on [re: How to write a poem]
We really enjoyed
your poem "WHAT IF EVERY MAN YOU MET WAS GOD?", lotsa thoughts to ponder there!
Like your poetry stuff - kinda neat.
Keep up the good work.

Loved it! Thanks for posting.
Kule pome!
Wonderful work
You are an incredible poet. You really do capture essences so well. ...The poem
makes one feel so light and free. Thank you.
Brilliant. I have
printed the poem out to hang on my wall to remind myself not to be a whiner!
Wow Kevin. You are really talented. I love it.
WOW!!!!!!
brrrrr!!!!!! shivers!!!
Excellent!! Thanks so much for sharing Kevin!!
... the thing I like
about your last two lines of it [Re: How to write a poem], is you capture how
seductive pure evil can be and has been.
What I think I like most
about your poetry, is no matter what tone level you write about, or what action,
or what whatever, incredible ARC and granting of beingness for the topic you are
writing about comes through, and this is a considerable skill and makes your
poetry a great joy to read.
You have a great skill.
Your
stuff is nice
...loved the sheer "music" of your verse :-) bravo!
I loved it -- great poem!!!! Great reading!
Hypnotic. Hypnotic.

Very Very Nice. I really like it.
Great poem!
I was very very amused. Thanks for the smiles!
Cute, I've only panned for gold. I think you did better. [ Re: Pannin' fer
Rhymes]
Cool poem!
I really like your poetry... You're
one of my favorites on the NG, and I haven't seen anything from you lately. I've
saved several of your poems...
...I liked them very much so that I
have to ask if there is any advice you could give a young poet at heart. Even
though I am at the tender heart of 17 I would like it if you could give me some
advice...
Wow!
That one was a real sicko! I really liked it. I may need to read it a few more
times to really get the richness of the slime. Yeah, that was pretty guooey. I
really really liked it. [Re: How to write a poem]
But seriously, your writing always creates a story in my mind, which is why I
like reading it so much.
Interesting... and dark.
Your
how-to-write-poetry satire is excellent
rather clever 'n rustic with
plenty of meter and drawl
thanks for those verbose fruits of verbiage pannin'
Ultimate Award
Love the real audio readings. Fantastic! Hope you plan on recording all your
works
Ah, Kevin, fine job...loved the dialect!
Brilliant! That really adds dimension to the poem. I never would have imagined
it in that way otherwise. [Re: RealAudio version of How to write a poem]
Ah jes luv yer pom, 'n sure as shootin' 'ud luv t' see anuther 'un!!

p.s. I really enjoyed your poetry
I am in
two minds about this poem. No I'm not. Yes, I am. SHUT UP! It's a great work of
artistic, gorgeous, irresistible blithering BALDERDASH! I LOVE it!!! No, I HATE
it and I am going to bite you! [Re: Psychiatree]
Very nice my good
man, very nice indeed! It was quite fun a read, I'll tell you that at least.
Quite fun indeed! Very good satire you made here, I applaud you. [Re:

I didn't
read all of your stuff, but what I did read was great!
I enjoyed
reading your work. Your imagery is very interesting and thought-provoking.
I enjoyed reading the poem "What if every man you met was God?" Excellent.
Enjoy the Fourth with your family and friends, then get back to writing more

there??? [Re: Psychiatree]

Absolutely fantastic! [Re: Psychiatree]
I'm astonished. [Re: Psychiatree]
Well, lately I've been a slacker and haven't been reading a lot of
posts thoroughly.. especially long ones! This kept my attention, and made me
laugh hysterically. You have serious talent, so thanks for sharing this little
"gem" with us! [Re: Psychiatree]
Very nice my good man, very nice indeed! It was quite fun a read,
I'll tell you that at least. Quite fun indeed! Very good satire you made here, I

Absolutely marvelous! Do you have anything else to throw through
the window as you fly by? [Re: Stone Age Poet]
a good funny poem [Re: Stone Age Poet]
yeah, this is cool. It's lighthearted wit doesn't require it to be
accessible to be a good read. Reminds me of those token humor scenes classic
playwrights used to put in the middle of tragedies to lighten up the atmosphere.
Lots of fun. [Re: Stone Age Poet]
Fantastic [Re: Joy of Kitchen]
kewl...I felt it...the poem. I tasted it too! [Re: Vinyl Lovers]
So full of great imagery. Reminded me a lot of T.S.Eliot, I don't
know why probably the moral bleakness of the cityscape and sexuality. The word
use [of] things like 'their tribal trade' or 'asphalt virginity' or something
seems a really good trademark (maybe it is your usual style I don't know)
throughout. It's full of all these compelling sidestreets you can wander down.
you end up taking in the poem as a sum of all these different glimpses. I can't
really crit. because I think its really so good. Most of all,
"melting into morning crowds
to mock the day with sleep"
"their curdled eyes
crusted, curled lips"
which makes me feel nauseous every time. Actually most of the poem made me
feel absorbed and repulsed. It was so passionate and passionless if you like.
[Ian] [Re: Vinyl Lovers]
Very nice. Like Ian said, both absorbing and repulsive at the same
time. The imagery was impressive [Re: Vinyl Lovers]
Hey, one way or the other... I felt your voice, man; that's style,
that' classic, that's it. Rip it out, I love your stuff! [Re: Vinyl Lovers]
witty and impressive. i really enjoyed reading this. Enough to
*almost* make me want to change my sig to :We are, nameless,
I-men, striving
far above the beggars notion

I always look for .. and appreciate poems that sparkle....yours do ...
Well, written verse...such scansion.
I have been reading your great

Unbelievable. Very

Excellent poetry! I loved I am...and every word of it true!
Kevin Taylor is one of the more unique poets I have found on the web - a true
individual, a thinking man's man. His perspectives on life will amuse and
provoke. A fast-rising star!
WONDERFUL!
I was one that buried living verse too... until a few
years ago. Funny, I felt like you had written that about me... Keep writing!!
You're very good!! [Re: Lady Lady]
that ... was really something! I
could feel the ancestry of that style -- unfamiliar and familiar at the same
time -- pretty incredible!! [Re: I am]
Great poetry!
I'm
SO glad I bumped into your site! I'm just thrilled beyond words (and that's
saying something for me!)
Hi! I visited your site today and spent
almost two hours engrossed in your work. I was and am completely enthralled... I
liked so many..."What if every Man you met was God" and "Razzmatazz" and "How to
Write a Poem"...just to name a few... "Pannin' fer Rhymes"!!!
Kevin,
that is one of the most beautiful poems I have ever read. I really love it. It
is beautiful. It is very spiritual in nature...
It is absolutely stunning. [Re: I am]
I found your miku page
very enlightening; I loved your mikus and the explanation about haikus was very
clear. Your poetry is excellent; you're the first internet poet I've been able
to say that to.
I see I'll have to visit more often as I like most
of your words - sometimes it's like listening to myself think but with a better
way of using the words. (that's a compliment)
Your poetry is
GREAT!!! My favorite poem that you have written was "psychiatree". I laughed my
head off.
I liked your poem "Vinyl Lovers" the best, excellent

You have
such a gift of expression with words. But I really appreciate your boldness to
look into the social 'unmentionables' such as in:
"What if every man you met was God?"
I frig around with words to be clever. You paint life with words...
You're a trip Kevin. Thank you...

You are too cute! :) [Re:
Pretend...]
Vintage Taylor!
Very nice.
This
is adorable. It completely made my morning. Thanks. [Re: Pretend...]
I love reading your poetry. I read "Pretend" out loud. It has a nice cadence and
flow to it and sounds especially good read aloud. From the sound of your poetry
you strike me as being a free spirit, much like myself. I truly enjoyed your
poems...
Hey Kevin....great poetry....definitely some of the best
I've read on the Internet!! ...it was time very well spent! Keep
writing...you're very talented!
Terrific poetry and also great
design and RealAudio mastery. It was a great inspiration for me. Congratulations
on all your great work.
You have written some talented poems here. I
like the dialectical nature of "Pannin' fer Rhymes", and the one about God.
Hey there Kevin... I enjoyed the poem I heard and will be back. Random comment:
your voice reminds me of the writer "Slackjaw" (Jim Kneipl, I think) at the free
Manhattan weekly New York Press.....
So far, my favorite is The
Fishers' Sea.
...had to drop by and check out your poems. I must say
that they have a strong creative force behind them, and they are most definitely
thought-provoking regardless of whether or not one agrees with you. Keep up the
great work
Your professionalism is showing.
As usual, I
love your poems. I get something I read them. I love them all. Post more.
Arghhh! I have been slain by the infamous Drive-By Poet!
Oh, pity my rotting corpse.
Fantastic!
Very nice. Dude,
your multiple skills are amazing.
Hey, I really like this very much.
Would it be alright if I shared this with some faculty ... who in turn may like
to share it with some kids. Its very inspirational!
I really enjoy
your stuff!
Wow! Perhaps not the most creative response to your
poetry, but an honest one. :-) You have a great web-site, I really liked the
real-audio as well. Great Job!
I've just read "The Fishers' Sea." It
is beautiful, and you do have a bit of Shakespeare about you! I've also read
some of the love poems. They're beautiful...
My, my... this is
wonderful..
I very much enjoyed your work
Everything
about your site is elegant. I especially like your section on miku. I haven't
seen much of it elsewhere and you can bet I lapped it all up :-) Sometimes, less
is truly more.
Your poetry is altogether beautiful.
I
have really enjoyed reading your poetry...
3 Star Award
Great Side Award
Your poetry was great.
Your poems are very good..
You
have a wonderful site here. I know you already know it so I won't go into great
length explaining the wonders your site provides. But I will say that it was
very soothing for me to visit here, especially after a particularly hectic and
rather hellish day. Your site reminded me of a nice cool breeze....one which we
try to enjoy to the fullest. Peaceful is another word I would use as well. ...
Take care, and please, don't ever stop your inspirational writing...and I do
mean more then the poems you so knowledgably type out.
I loved your
poetry.... thank you for a most enjoyable time....
God, you're good!
Hi Kevin! I just got back from your site. Your poetry is beautiful!
Love your poem!! You're getting better and better, which is to say, more and
more superior! [Re: Angelness]
Cool poems.
Terras World Award
Award of Excellence
I really like the look and feel of your site. Well Done. The poetry is a strange
combination of emotion and intellect.
Cool-o-rama
Best Design Award... It is one of the best
design poetry pages I have visited.
WoW ... WoW... How did you get
so good? Your poetry is very good. I enjoyed reading it. my favorite poem was
"I'm a Union Poet"... it's really cool!!!
You are a very good
writer. A lot of people think that rhyming poetry is childish but I think that
it is beautiful. I lose interest in most poems that do not rhyme because they
seem so much more like a story, don't get me wrong there are many I am very fond
of but I like the way the words flow so smoothly when it rhymes. It just makes
them fit so much nicer.... wonderful job. If I had to choose one of your poems
to comment on it would have to be Irish Ditty. So true. I give your site a
thumbs up.
I... was thoroughly entertained.
I enjoyed your poems thoroughly. You certainly have a unique way with words. I
especially liked "Angelness" and "Irish Ditty".
your poem-
"angelness" makes me realize that we really are here to get our wings...
Your poetry is beautiful.
I am flabbergasted! I am not however going
to tell you that your poetry is fated for the top ten in publications. Don't get
me wrong Kevin, it is very, very good! It just seems that rhyming poetry doesn't
get the recognition it deserves most times, unless in greeting cards. Personally
I was tickled by your writings, and were I a publisher, I would grab you and
run.
Your poetry reads like some of the children's books I've seen
and loved. It takes a lot of talent to write for children, and you seem to have
that magical quality.
What a wonderful site. I love to find a page
that keeps me up way too late! The book format is very cool.... But, the words.
Ah, the words! So much more than language when the attitude is just right.
Hot Site of the Week Contest!
Cool poems.
I like this one... [Re: See-sawn summers]
...very much enjoyed the Miku!
Frankly, besides yourself, I do not
know any real live poets; they are a very rare breed. Many of the
self-proclaimed poets on the web that I have seen think poetry is rhyme, or they
have some romantic notion about poets and think it's cool to "be" one. A poet is
a creator, a maker of thought pictures with the music of the human voice, a
skill that I do not believe can be acquired. The more significant the thought,
the better the artist. One can develop the talent but not acquire it. In my mind
there is a very close affinity between poetry, the visual arts and music... The
world needs more poets,artists, and musicians, I believe.
I found
your site and read a nunber of your poems, which I enjoyed very much.
I LOVE THIS ONE! [Re: Between]
I loved! that poem! It made me laugh
out loud! So nice, I got right along with that voice too and loved words like
cluttered off to hell. Great. [Re: Raggey Boney Soul]
... you will
be very happy to know that I went to your site and find your... works... so
beautiful that I have been revitalized! I'm sitting here at work right now
feeling all tingly and very exterior and serene. You are an incredible poet!
I am going to visit your site again when I have more time so I don't miss a
single ounce of the aesthetic waves which emanate from it!
...
thanks for the good read
Nice job on "Between". Good catch line,
solid images.
I liked your poem, "Desolation".
"Desolation" is still a good poem...
I went to your page and the
poetry was VERY good.
i love your poetry !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... saw yer poem - Angelness - it was great!
You are truly talented.
You were chosen as one of Netscape's Sites of the day. I have no idea how one is
chosen, but I am certainly glad you were.
I LIKED THESE VERSE.
Just breezed through your pages and will definitely be back for more. What I
want to know is, where do you find your words? Keep pen to paper, fingers to
keyboard. Your words are definitely worthy.
The poems are
wonderful.... Thanks for the inspiration!
I rarely, if ever sign a
guestbook. I had to write to you to let you know how much I love your poetry.
You write with such diverse styles and ideas. I was captivated by so many of
your works. I shall visit you often. You have such talent! Thanks for sharing.
i enjoy reading your poems. thx
I enjoyed your perception of love. I
am a hopeless romance junkie. The poetry on your site touched me on an emotional
level. Thanks!!!!!
Another gentle soul airs its joys and woes. You
are a remarkable wordsmith. As an aside, I grew up in the shadow of Mr. Ben
King; his granite image stands unblinking in the park in my home town, on the
banks of the old St. Joe.
New to the Net Award [March 23, 1999]
Intriguing page, I like...

Your poetry is delightful...
Great poem. [Re: I am not your teacher...]
Great Poem Kevin !!!!!
Thank you for sharing!!! I love the way it ends!!!!!!! [Re: I am not your
teacher...]
You have a way of expressing simplicities.
I
like this poem a lot. [Re: I am not your teacher...]
Excellent job.
I love the pulsing rhythms, swaying back and forth. The best line is the last.
[Re: I am not your teacher...]
I really like this poem. [Re: I am
not your teacher...]
ABSOLUTELY adored "Beside You" as a
particularly clever poem, deeper than it looks at first value!!!
Loved this one! Very powerful verse below. I especially liked the last line!
[Re: I am not your teacher...]I am not your keeper,
keeping keepless vigils kept.
Much less your sentinel -
your king, your judge, your fool.
I am the am of I. Alone. One-All.
Love the message and the illustration of phrasing. [Re: I am not
your teacher...]
Wow, Kevin, a muse is on your shoulder I see.
Excellent work. I especially loved Last Will [To the wind, these words...]
Meaningful testament.
...[Re: To the wind, these words...] sticks
with me. What a grand wish, to bequeath a sense of self to those without it.
Marvelous. The whole thing was just marvelous and much larger than its few
phrases. [Re: To the wind, these words...]
Nice work Kevin! [Re: To the wind, these words...]
hmmmm... Very
thought provoking...I like that:) [Re: Named]
TOUCHÈ! [Re: Been a
while?]
I found myself reading this over and over taking in each
word. What a beautiful message you created so eloquently of Love, Life, and
Hope!!!!! Thank you for sharing, It is Brillant !!!! [Re: To the wind, these
words...]
I wanted to thank you for your poem. This poem is so
profound, and so packed with insinuation, I had to read it several times to
really take it all in. [Re: Incandescent]
Nice poem. Thanks. I liked
it a lot. Almost sounded like it could be a Rod Stewart song. Even if you might
not like Rod Stewart, that's a compliment. [Re: To the wind, these words...]
... you are full of talent... Keep up the writing so we who enjoy good poetry
will always have something to look forward to... a new fan.... forever...
That's a downright beeyootiful poem. Dearly loved it! [Re: To the wind, these
words...]
tour de force! Very well done - and very appropriate
denouement. [Re: To the wind, these words...]
Good stuff, Kevin [Re:
To the wind, these words...]
Another good one! [Re: To the wind,
these words...]
a helluva toast! [Re: To the wind, these words...]
Very good job [Re: To the wind, these words...]
Your poetry has in
itself many colors and moods combined.
I find that your poetry is of
great emotion and depth ... wonderful usage of words... thank you for the
wonderful moments I had reading your poems. "Sometime" moved me .
