Mars: For a hundred years a place of mystery, and in a place so far from what we really know, our imagination might bring anything about and your "fiery entity" might be anything... or mass hysteria.
Great start to a story, Anna, my far away (to Mars) friend.

It could be a solar flare or a Martian volcanic eruption. Perhaps a meteor? Sounds like the beginning of a good story.

Ah . . . suspenseful terror in the heart and soul of these thirteen explorers . . . Where they hurtling toward the sun, or were they about to discover something about space travel they never intended, nor did they ever want to know?

Anna,
A departure from your usual style of writing, like one of mine recently was! I do have to say I laughed so hard that my husband came running to see what was so funny and then he almost fell over laughing himself. Sometimes a poet needs to strech and write something different; we all do it! FUNNY!

What a wonderful remembrance of your Aunt Mary Catherine Veronica who could have well been my Aunt Bertha, whom, other than knitting afghans, Aunt Bertha knit beautiful dresses for all of the women in her family... Me being a boy, however, I hardly ever wore one of Aunt Bertha's dresses. As for afghans, my wife made an afghan for all four of her children that each has and, I am positive, as you love the precious gift of Aunt Mary Catherine Veronica's pink afghan that she knit for you, dear friend, I am sure my children will always cherish the gift their mother made.
Great story, Anna.
Your friend, Mark

What a lovely, heartfelt poem, Anna, my friend, that certainly does deserve, at the very least, an commendation. This brings to mind a recently read, wonderful novel (kindle) about a lighthouse and it's keeper and his wife, and an infant that washed ashore, that I would very highly recommend you read: "The Light Between Oceans".

Congratulations! Annabel.
Your poem, based on the "Sentinel", 2012 Castaways,
Sculpture Award by Michael O'Deherty, perfectly matches
in poetic verse, the wooden artistic work/dog.
Looking forward to see your other poem "Displaced",
one of the three commendations issued by the judge,
of the same Poetry Competition, here on AD.
With warm regards Isabella.

It's a sad state of affairs to say the least. It has happened in this country for many generations. It goes back to the days when the Native American Indians were slaughtered and ravished for what belonged to them. This type of behavior happens over and over, when one man feels superior to another...when will this ever stop? who knows, I feel so bad for all those victims in Boston, I pray for their souls and their speedy recovery.
Miss you much,

Bent on Destruction (Poetry) - 4/16/2013 12:16:04 PM
While Mother Nature appears to be quiet and beautiful, dramas of life and death, as small as insects and as large as humans has been carried out since the beginning of time. Survival is the primary driver. Those few individuals who seek to harm others are a very small part of society. Yet they exist and we must find a way to stop them before they act, and that is very difficult in a free environment like we have where we let people behave just about any way they want as long as they don't violate laws that we create to maintain the common decency. Unfortunately, crazed killers aren't thinking about violating the law. They are using bombs to make some diabolical statement that you and I can't comprehend.

Yes!! Ride that wave of words, and what a wonderful feeling it is when the words appear, as if like magic, and the writing consumes you.

Ah, to have the quill held within your hand, figuratively speaking, that now can find and see and write words to show what you feel in words that show what you see. Ah, to once again have the capability.

Just out back Anna experiencing what you describe in your poem, magnificent! The apartment building where I live sits on the Detroit river, the view is awesome. I bask in the sun with the birds & feed them while they honor God with songs of praise. Thank you for this poem Anna and I am loving it. You are a blessing to us all and as I write my healing prayer to God for you is in the universe and at His throne. Peace!!!

Oh, Anna. If I thought it would help, I'd drive about seven miles, as the crow flies, to our Pacific coast to fill a Mason jar with some Southern California sand and Pacific water along with some of our seventy-seven degree air and send it to you. But, alas, I doubt it would help you feel better. Poor lady. Well, I guess you've just another month or so till things warm up enough for a trip to your beloved shore.

Cosy Little Bunky (Poetry) - 3/11/2013 8:52:15 PM
You paint a very enchanting landscape, Anna. Beware of those gnomes and fairies, however. If you need someone who can draw a bead on them and blast them to smithereens, let me know. They talk tough but wear lace panties. Easy to spot with good radar.
Cosy Little Bunky (Poetry) - 3/11/2013 8:43:49 PM
My idea of cosy is snuggled up right here on a beauitful California beach with toes planted in the moist warm sand and sipping a melon (midori) magarita. It is so hard to imagine myself in a white wonderland such as yours but it is nice to see you love it as much as it is pronounced in this exquisite little poem.

good piece ..thank you Annabel..

I too am Catholic
hate the idea the pope lives likea a monarch a king to be exact
all Cardinals & Bishops like prince
each with their own castles and the congregation "Us pay for their
lavish styles......through our attending children at porochial schools selling this selling that and lets not forget that so call yearly donation of $500.00 if its not send your children will not get a report card nor recognition........ "POOR POPE"
Rites and Rituals (Poetry) - 3/3/2013 10:36:54 PM
Well done Annibel,
Rome has not fallen it's been transformed to a religious pontiff palace. God have mercy on the real fall of Rome. Perhaps Catholics can now be converted to pure Christians and leave the marble statues and glitter alone. Amen!
May peace be with you and love and blessings overflow in your life,
John Michael Domino

I was born and raised a Roman Catholic and I have done the same as you. Yes, I believe that I have a relationship with God but I steer clear of all organized religion. Its legacy is not one that has done anything to bring peace to this world. Thank you, Anna. Love and best wishes,

As God's people Anna, we are all tainted striving to be the best Christians we can be! Only God's Word is truth: His preachers, pastors and priests will help us arrive. God will judge all men and their works in His time; none are exempt! An interesting poem, thanks for sharing.

I'm with you. The Catholic Church (and all the ancient religions) is a museum, and all the newer churches, from Mormonism to Scientology are merely businesses prospering off the mostly poor, faithful.
Some great lines, like flying Cardinals and pooped popes.

Organized Religion - a sad trip back through mankind's history reveals that most wars have been fueled by it, as have so many prejudices and hate-filled diatribes.
Rites and Rituals (Poetry) - 2/26/2013 12:43:05 PM
So true and well told indeed my friend Laura
Rites and Rituals (Poetry) - 2/26/2013 9:11:22 AM
How's this for a scandal? For nearly 700 years the catholic church conducted a series of inquisitions that tried, tortured, imprisoned, confiscated property from,and burnt human beings at the stake--perhaps 5 million innocent souls church officials believed were guilty of heresy (failing to believe somebody's elses beliefs). Perhaps in 700 million years humanity will be prepared to forgive the popes that signed the papal bulls, and their officials that carried out those dastardly deeds.
Rites and Rituals (Poetry) - 2/26/2013 8:55:15 AM
Scandal is always a good subject for poets to write about even if it offends people. Don't share your opinions but they are yours nor do I excuse the abuse that has happened by about 4% of priests who got into the church to do it harm and to the young ones in their charge.
As far as your nonsense about costs I can only laugh at your ignorance.
George
Rites and Rituals (Poetry) - 2/26/2013 7:59:48 AM
Annabel, I just had a great idea...why not create a reality show; Who Wants To Be The Next Pope?...The idea is to run them through a string of 'real life' situations for 10 or 12 weeks and whomever comes out ahead of the competition wins the ring.
Thanks for your great little poem...you may have just sparked a new industry.

Sooo..true.......
Rites and Rituals (Poetry) - 2/26/2013 7:12:25 AM
You know, Anna, my dear far northern (keeping warm I hope) friend. Your sentiments are as countless millions in all religions (except probably Islamism) we wish to believe; we wish to have the comfort of knowing that there is a God but cannot juxtapose life as we know it today, and life's almost daily horrors, with the true belief that there is something/someone watching over us and that, if we are good people, we will join the something or someone in death. I, as you know, am a Jew and deep down I suppose that I do believe but outwardly I have serious, major doubts.

Ah, so lovingly warm and romantic there in the Caribbean: kisses of fire and the touch of molten heat... Then, looking out a window and steeling yourself for the blowing snow and sub-zero tempature, Anna. You put on a third layer of clothing and your fur lined coat and your fur lined boots open the door and, your breath coming in streaming vapor, you make your frigid way to wherever you must be. Ummm, yes! Those balmy Caribbean nights.

I Love You More Than You Know (Poetry) - 1/30/2013 6:11:22 AM
"A sonnet to the man I'd dreamed I'd meet...." I'm a bit confused on this title, Anna. My assumption is that you'd dreamed of meeting this man; you've dreamed of meeting such a man but had not and the words you speak are but the hopeful part of that dream. If this be the case, then I am truly sorry that your dream has not come to be, and as one that does consider you as a friend, I do hope that this dream does come true for you as I believe, though we have never actually met, I do believe that you are one terrific lady and would want nothing more for you than for this dream to become reality.

Great poem my friend for this time of the year as it has been cold here in Ohio and now were expecting a snow storm and it has been very windy, so this poem fits the cold indeed, Laura
The True North - Winter Rant (Poetry) - 1/19/2013 11:20:10 AM
After thirty Houston winters, it would be nice to experience a Canadian one. Since I originally come from the North, I do get a bit melancholy about it at times. But then thoughts of the times I was always cold and the landscape was so barren, lead me to believe it's better to be stuck down here in suburbia then locked away in a cabin in the wilderness.
Hope you get over your cabin fever soon.
Ron
