kevin F Dunn's Profile:
I spent one hundred and twenty seven years behind the bell and prow as an Organ Grinders Monkey before meeting a beautiful princess. She kissed me and turned me into Prince Charles. I immediately ran back to he creepy little gnome who had made me a monkey and had him turn me into a poet and a singer songwriter. I have been so now for more than thirty years. But my poetry up to now has been something I have kept to myself. Some say it should stay that way. Although I have pened many poems, these are the first I have set free. I write almost every day. I mostly only write because I need to make space for other thoughts. By writing down what's in my head I can make room for new ones. My wife says I should not be left alone for long periods with my mind. You can find my songs on Youtube under Pointmaxmusic.

Poem Title Poet Name Critique Given by kevin F Dunn Critique Date
Masters of Fate DeniMari Z. Hi Deni. I don't usually critique this kind of poem because I guess I just don't get them? I want to though. What i can say about this is that It definitely is not "a mess" It is clear that this was written with ease and not forced like so many of these I have read. There were a few poets if you could even call them that, who hung around here for a while. Who's writings like this were obviously either plagiarized or just words copied from a dictionary. Your sounds original and so nice to just read over. Thanks. kevin. 2010-12-09 23:22:25
Oh Shakespeare cheyenne smyth Just my kind of poem. Utterly beautiful in every way. Not being a fan at all of modern poetry any more than I am of modern art, I can say best seen here in along time. Thanks. Kevin. 2010-12-08 21:20:56
Escape Mandie J Overocker Hi mandie I am not going to do a dry old critique. I just want to say by-golly! It is a good job you post here or there would be nothing at all. Critique.....I love rhyme, any rhyme, so I love it. Seriously rhyme for me can be kind of intoxicating or something. I really think all poetry should have it or not be allowed to be called poetry. I call anything else "common writing". Regards. Kevin. 2010-11-10 02:33:16
Time Mandie J Overocker Hello Mandie. I am not going to spend a lot of time doing a critique on this as it seem you obviously only posted/wrote it to touch on the time change. I was once told, take it as you will "Don't abandon an idea to soon" I believe unless you did not care, that you can do a much better job of this idea. liked it anyway, its fun.

Mortal Soul cheyenne smyth I am definitely going to need some explanation of this one for sure. I am absolutely sure you know exactly what you mean. I like how you placed the words one upon the other so I also need to know what was in your head when you wrote them. Can it just simply be about death and rebirth? I am really not normally a fan of common writing I prefer what I call more traditional poetry. Liked it enough to write this though. Thanks. Kevin. 2010-11-08 23:07:14
My October Votes Duane J Jackson Do you mind if I ask why you post your votes? Does everyone do this now at some time in the Month? I have not been around TPL for a few years. Good stuff though eh! Regards. 2010-11-08 22:57:56
It must be time to write a poem Mark Andrew Hislop Hmm..Sounds like a kind of a thinking mans country song ;o) Add three guitar chords and whining cowboy and you got a hit man. OK Seriously. This poem seems to be about modern life and what is really happening in the western world today. Personal loss, no rent money, etc. Poets and minstrels have been carrying news about what is happening in the world this way for so long. I do like the way it begins in ruins and kind of spirals upward. Until it makes the reader feel better but not to the Phoenix level. I think you have set a high standard for the month. Thanks Kevin 2010-11-06 17:08:31
Midnight Lace Lora Silvey All those who are not frightened in to falling in love with this writer must be made if stone. I could see this a s song on an album by Jan Arden or someone. Do you put your stuff to music. No nits to pick some stuff is just as I like it. I was going to suggest a few things until I read it a few more times, no changes. Very entertaining. Thanks. Kevin. 2010-11-04 00:19:02
Solace in Season Mandie J Overocker Hello Mandie. First I must say I like it a lot . I read a poem first just thinking of how it entertains me Then I ask myself do I understand it and what exactly is the writer tying to say to me. As much as I like it I need some help with this one. I don't get too hung up on meter with other folks stuff, if I did I might trip on many a good read but it did require a little work to get it to flow off the lips. please reply and explain what you are saying to the reader. Regards. Kevin. 2010-11-04 00:12:52
The twins Mark Andrew Hislop Hello Mark. I love it but what is it about. At first i thought it was about a Mother and her children, then about outer space. I love the way you use words but I need to know what you mean. I don't really get the meter, each verse seems different. Thanks for this Kevin. 2010-11-03 23:59:02
Infra Mark Andrew Hislop Hello Mark. This is the kind of writing I like to read over and over. Seems like 5 little separate poems that can be enjoyed together or in any order.Or used as epitaphs on grave stones There is a lot of this around but most not as good as this. I for one would like you to explain it's meaning in detail to me so I can enjoy it some more. Kevin, 2010-10-31 02:48:06
Abandoned James C. Horak I was once told that "Art is never finished, only abandoned" Do I get the impression that this was "abandoned" a bit too soon? I guess I am showing my ignorance when I ask, what the hell is this collection of words all about? 2010-10-29 22:59:37
Skid Marks DeniMari Z. By Golly, I thought this was going to be a poem about a pair of shorts. I thought to myself.....Hmmm, this'll be a good'n. 2010-10-29 22:51:45
