| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 06/14/03 at 01:36 PM there is nothing like the perennial mad dashing, the continuity of spirits toward infinity. |
| Posted by David R Spellman on 06/14/03 at 02:45 PM A very interesting look at the presence of our ancestral lines still working within us. Nicely done. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 06/14/03 at 06:45 PM Well written and evocative read Max. |
| Posted by John Ilotan on 06/15/03 at 03:12 PM Great read. Intruiging. "the spirits in my double helix", never thought about it like that, an interesting idea. |
| Posted by Karl Waldbauer on 06/15/03 at 06:39 PM "Took my breath away" may be an overused cliche, but this piece really did it! This is how my parents explained heredity and continuity to me as a boy. Excellent poem and wonderful memories. Thanks. |
| Posted by Kate Demeree on 06/16/03 at 06:12 PM I love this Max... The way you create the atmosphere of both here and beyond, the connections that are, without bounds. Much wisdom here in this loving piece. |
| Posted by Graeme Fielden on 06/17/03 at 03:58 PM quite an eerie quality about this one Max...Excellently crafted and a poignient message about the sands of time... |
| Posted by Agnes Eva on 06/18/03 at 06:10 PM oh, your author's comment is amazing- since your poem starts with the words 'blood ghosts', consider making your title "To the spirits in my double helix"...? great poem |
| Posted by Michele Schottelkorb on 08/25/03 at 05:00 PM ok, this poem is amazing... first off, what a tribute, secondly, i believe the spirits that surround us do influene our being... lumpinmythroat excellent type of poem... blessings.... |
| Posted by Don Coffman on 09/01/03 at 02:43 AM I'm especially interested by this one, it's a very enlightening way of looking at lineage and family history. The combination of the mystical idea of ghosts mingled with DNA is very clever. |
| Posted by Rachelle Howe on 09/02/03 at 03:27 PM wow.this... is without words. believe me, it is a prayer that we both share, dear friend. |
| Posted by David R Spellman on 09/08/03 at 07:30 PM What an excellent sentiment and perspective on ancestral lineage! |

| Posted by Jeanne Marie Hoffman on 04/16/04 at 03:03 PM Mingling ones life with their DNA is a wonderful idea -- then the idea that not only is the dna passed down, but the memories of their lives... love it |
| Posted by JD Clay on 05/09/04 at 05:00 AM Apparitional poetry, Max. This is the best ghost poem I have ever read. It moves extremely well along the generational time line, and culminates with a soft yet dramatic ending.
Pe4ce... |
