TITLE
Sometimes, A Collection of Fleeting Verse |
AUTHOR
Josie Caruso |
DESCRIPTION
A collection: Sometimes, On the Roof just
under a Sill, My Empty Voice |
READERS'
REVIEWS
"Soft quite poetry... like a sigh on the
wind.... Funny how such stillness can occur in words. I love the effect of it. It's like
waking up after a bad dream on a grey and rainy Sunday morning and being haunted by the
haze of it all. Sometimes it is best to wallow for a moment than to let it track you down
for an eternity. Please, always share your feeling this way. Go on!!!" -- Flax
Larouge, Los Angeles, California, USA
"Did not speak to me. Seemed to have been
said before. What works: NO histronics, plain language. Language can be plain but must be
"new"" -- Bruce Alford, Birmingham, Alabama, USA
"Not so good." -- Joe Moe, USA
"The poetry relied too much on the
simplicity and format. The vagueness created by this made it too incoherent. It did
however, have some beautiful lines in it." -- Jack Roman
"This just did not
appeal to me. It seemed like the repetitive "poor me" poetry that we see
so often." -- Roxanne Bioule, Bloomington-Normal, Illinois, USA
"Very pretty Josie.
It reminds me of my own poems but with a subtleness and imagery that mine sometimes lacks.
Well done!" -- Harriet Nicholas, UK
"It has a nice soft
sort of silence to it. Quiet yet loud, Angry yet sad. Nice work." -- Holly, New
Zealand |

REVIEWS
"It was kinda nice, So I read it twice. A
little simplistic, A little weird. But what more can I say, So her feelings are
spared?" -- Flax Larouge, Los Angeles, California, USA
"The poem was rather interesting, with some
good ideas, and nice thoughts, however the unconstancy of the rhyming made upset the flow
of the words." -- Jack Roman, Middlebury, Connecticut, USA
"Okay poem...not too
original an idea, so you'd have to do it really well to leave an impact, except you
didn't, so....would benefit from a stabler rhyme scheme. Usually, poems suck if you
force rhyme and blank verse can rock (especially Haikus), but with such a stale basis for
the poem, you'd probably need a good scheme to leave it with the reader after he hits that
back button." -- Tyrant |

Poem of No True Charm, Early Morning Sunlight (a poem of metaphorical demons) |
READERS'
REVIEWS
"[Monday Night Sunset] The
words touched your heart as you read them line by line. It shows how much depth and love
this person had for this person. Simply pursue writing" -- Angela Zito, Staten
Island, New York, USA
"The descriptions not only helped to give a sense of
place, but also to convey the emotions and helped me to relate." -- Kiki
Koutsouflakis, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
"Not everyone can write. This individual's attempt at
poetry shows why. Right out of junior high school english class." -- Adam James Magy,
Southfield, Michigan, USA
"I think you have a gift, and it
is sweetness,and eros, and anger. Whatever else you do, keep writing." -- Boston Jim,
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
"I dunno I can't decide if I love
it or if I hate it. Though it does not matter write poetry for yourself not others
opinions." -- Niki
"I like, insightful and
revealing, but of what I am not sure. I sense anger and love both of which are closely
related and sometimes go hand in hand whether or not we want them to. This almost reads
like reality but also maybe just taken from reality." -- J W, Burbank, California,
USA
"I get it. At first, I
thought it was BS, then all of a sudden I understood. Corey, I really like your use
of in-your-face metaphor and subtle nuances of words. I feel pain in this and I feel
a silent rejoice. I want to read more of your writing. Please tell me how I
can do that. But...I must ask....do you hate men?" -- Patricia Montgomery,
Arlington, Virginia, USA |

childhood while understanding her mother's just the same. |
READERS'
REVIEWS
"This was brutally honest and
well to the point. I like it when someone can cut through the crap. I admire your
courage." -- Maggie Beeler, San Diego, CA, USA
"Your writing speaks of a childhood that seems full of
emotional strength yet has an element of deep sadness. There is an understanding of a
woman's discontent with motherhood that can only be embraced by the love of her child who
sees the pain on a daily basis. I applaud you for a well-written account of such personal
nature." -- Kimberly Trippe, New York, New York, USA
""Incestuous guts" -- excellent" -- Ellen
Fowler
"Subtly compelling piece of
writing, with a tactful infusion of human sentiment which is further complemented by it's
inherent succintness and the clarity of your writing, as a fellow author on this site, I
know how difficult this can be. Well done." -- J A Melody, Republic of Ireland
"Wow, VJ. Great job.
Only envy here. Keep it up!" -- Randy Barfield |

READERS'
REVIEWS
"This is a cute poem. And what we
expect to see...we do." -- Kimberly Trippe, New York, New York, USA
"Simple, humourous and to-the-point.
Perfect." -- Pravin Jeyaraj, Sutton, Surrey, UK
"Warmed my heart, brought a smile to my
face and a chuckle to my ears." -- "B"
"This is good poetry! Simple, honest, but
it has a swagger about it that reminds me of walking on the boulevard with hundreds of
people in leisure canter. It is intricate in its simplicity. Says a lot more in few words
than most try to say in so many. Good work, Rebecca." -- Rob Shelley, Knoxville,
Tennessee, USA
"Ms. Silva has an
apparent love for words, phrases, sentiment. This is a magical little gem!" --
Michael Leone, Brooklyn, New York, USA |
