I think the point you think I am making is not the point I make.

"All animals are equally deserving of life." That is my notion, you say. Nay, my good sir, all animals think they are deserving of life, except some humans. The poem is not a political statement, as I am so often praised, but a look at the universe through insect's eyes.

If I change "Dark Journey" to "Angelically Dark Journey," would you make it a ten?

Thanks for your comments. I don't try to save insects, but, illogically, I like whales and sea turtles. It's about inate selfishness and the comedy of importance each of us assumes or must accept, or is trapped into its service.

Good Title. Good ending. In the middle, you have some good lines, but the flow bogs in side issues and themes not very well connected to the main story. Not that they don't connect, I'd just work on how you connect them. Especially like, "when reality becomes fantasy and perhaps returns back to reality once again."

You over-compliment me. I mean only that I get as much out of this as from most of the other poems I've read here lately.

Yes, I read it anyway, and it's as good as most of what's come down lately.

Though this appears to be heartfelt and a thought worthy of poetry, the presentation falls short of one of the best definitions of love I've read and a touching ode to a fallen sister, both by the same poet. It's not just you; a spirit of depression seems gripping poemranker like a disease in a beehive. I feel like a prodical daughter returning to find the houses boarded up and the homefolk moping around.

Nay, my good sir, this is the epitome of great poetry. Each line should be savored and critiqued, metaphored in our own attempts to match its hugeness. Look again, pray, with eyes enlightened.

A noise in the dark
I tremble in sheer terror -
An escaped son?

This is good, except for telling her what to do in the last two lines.

Missing someone. Not very well told.

In spite of a dozen or more spelling and grammar problems, I think I got the point.
