A Taint of Pity by Ken Allen Dronsfield Review

-

A Taint of Pity is a journey through poetic excellence. Ken Allen Dronsfield is constantly surprising me with his complex works of art. Yes, it is sheer art that when reading it becomes a canvas of words mingling in a masterpiece of truth, wisdom and beauty, This poet exemplifies the craft of poetry with his effortless strokes of ebb and flow. He writes a contemporary message with traditional expertise which is very rare in this day and age. Very few poets have been able to write with these extraordinary qualities. His imagery and story telling is exciting and has you anxiously awaiting the next stanza. His imagery as in the poem Lunatique brings forth the limitless bounds to which he can create these unique poems. Sylvia Plath comes to mind when reading many of his works. Works like Infernal ooze a heartfelt and powerful message with ease and grace. I am a huge fan of Ken's work and when I think about that old saying "You can't improve upon perfection" that saying is wrong. You can and Ken Allen Dronsfield does in all of his poetry. This is a fantastic read by one of my top favorite contemporary poets. Also, the real and heartfelt dedication is emotional and tells a story of his life. Thank you, Ken for always inspiring me. Sammy thanks you too.

Gently in Nature by Michael Griffith

Gently in Nature I wish today's sunlight could last forever. Our sky a blue that can't be defined by a crayon's name. Neither can the amber of your hair - They're both found gently in nature. We witness the park's afternoon together, but details will shift in time's shaky embrace. You will correct me when I misremember the breed of the runaway dog we saw and the name of that deli where we bought those regrettable sandwiches when I tell our friends about this perfect picnic day, but for now all I want to focus on is that spark in your smile as you look up into my squinting-in-the-sun eyes, a spark of love found gently in your nature. BIO:   Michael Griffith began writing poetry while recovering from a life-changing injury. Poetry helped his mind and spirit stay healthy as his body healed. His poetry has recently appeared in Ripen the Page, Dual Coast Poetry, Poetry Quarterly, Degenerate Literature, the Starving P...

Grounded Angel By Desiree Cady

Grounded Angel By Desiree Cady The devil appeared Such an evil, dark one Told me his plan By the end I knew I was done. I had met a force Sure to break me down In a pool of my own blood I was sure to drown. He said, " You can't be this innocent, You can't be this sweet. I will deny you of your wings And you can join me below in my hellish heat." He proceeded to attack, Stripped me of my wings.. But I sensed God was present So I didn't feel a thing. He thought he had won As he took my weapons of flight But I fooled him..for even a broken winged angel Can still stand up and fight.

After the attack and a few suicide attempts, I vowed to tell my story and help inspire others to get help and to know that they are not alone.  I am currently wrapping up two manuscripts for public...
