ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
I consider my writing to be a younger, new style of writing that I created through reading Hitchcock, Puzo, and King, that emphasizes heavily on certain parts and lightly on other events comparitive to David Lynch's films. [February 2004]

Cellar Door Reagan Rothe
Peace is yet a fragile lover
A tiresome concoction of malfeasance
One genuflects, praising serenity
But the sickness envelops life itself
No answer shall come…
One eye, one trumpet, one sound
A cacophony of laughter follows
One lonely arrow of condemnation nooses
But the smoldering fire ashes
No beast can pass here…
She was a muse for his writings
A hubbub for a new beginning
One pendulum swings, hate, love, hate
But the glass shatters into countless shards
And love is left behind…
The end is a cellar door, cracked ajar
A couple enters, hands embracing
One moment requiring uxorial needs they share
But promise to last despite despair
And forever they walk hand in hand…

"This is deep, deep shit man!!! I loved all of it, especially "But the glass shatters... love is left behind", have to read more of your stuff." -- Phil H, Orlando, FL, USA.
"Rothe... excellent! Reminiscent of passed poets. I needed my dictionary at hand. This piece made me want to put on a long gauzy white gown and listen to the rustle as I brush past the flowers in the courtyard. Bravo! Deb" -- D. G. Williford.
"Thanks D.G.! I'm extremely flattered you enjoyed one of my pieces and it was so touching to you personally... " -- Rothe, TX.
"I liked this because of the style and have visual it is but some of the words were out of my means and sort of turned me off. There were some really good stanzas such as the final one with the usage of the cellar door that's ajarred...I don't think you need cracked ajar between it's sort of repeats itself. But this is very powerful visually. All and all a very strong poem dealing with relationship and worthy to be published." -- e. rocco caldwell.
"Masterful work... Haven't read something this fascinating in a long time!!!" -- JJ, The Miss.
""uxorial needs"?? "a hubbub for a new beginning"? this was taken to another level and paints a surreal image during a time of sadness, most inspiring - "forever they walk hand in hand..." left me in tears, rae" -- Rae.
"I typically don't review poetry because it's difficult to be objective about the form and I know in my message I said I wouldn't review any work that wasn't either literary or genre (so please don't think me a liar for having reviewed it anyway), but when I saw your request I could not refuse it. Review: As esoteric poems go "Cellar Door" is in the proper gear. It seems to be making some kind of point, but due to its intrinsically esoteric nature the point is lost on this reader. The only thing I'd suggest is replacing the word "uxorial" with a slightly more common term to help the layman reader follow the piece without lingering to study the first time through reading." -- JA St. George.
"Most brilliant and worth reading more than once!!! (Agrees with the majority)!!!" -- Suzanne, Florida.
"WOW! I swear I'm not saying this because you gave my story a good review, but this is great. I loved it!" -- Brayn King.
