Review "Had the poetry been like THIS? I think I would've actively pursued reading more poetry!" - A_TiffyFit "Book Devourer""The entire book begs the question of whether that older style of poetry that was wrapped in hugely complex verses really had simple things to say. And if it did, but less people understood it, why is it more valuable or revered?" - Veritas Vincit "Bill""if TBNAT is any indication, one day Theodore Ficklestein will be sitting on a shelf with Silverstein and others." - Stacy "Amazon Junkie"
From the Author This was the first edition of the first book. It was fun to write. I admit I should have been more diligent with the editing. Please be advised that this version still has the original errors.

His writing is not poetry in the traditional sense. He does not have metaphors or symbolism in his poetic writings. His lack of conventional poetic elements I feel, really makes this book easy and enjoyable to read and understand. This book is worth reading and sharing because of the messages contained in these pieces. My favorite poem "Subjective Humor" In this poem, Ficklestein says that the purpose of humor is unite people together and not to divide them apart. A person learns about him or herself in a peaceful way through humor. I love the message of this poem very much. My other favorite poem is "A General's Speech" This message of this poem is that the best armies are not the ones who have the strongest and quickest soldiers. The best armies have people who are willing to sacrifice everything for the people fighting next to them. This is an excellent message to remember and to communicate in a poem. "Ten Languages In One Poem" is another poem that I like. Each line of this poem says this is how to write a poem in a different language. I recognized the Spanish, German French and Japanese lines. I am still trying to figure out what language the other five languages are written in. I like the challenge of having to learn what these other languages are. "Reading The Dictionary" is another good short poem that I like. I learned that the word zymosan is the last word listed in the dictionary. I learned that a zymosan is a carbohydrate found in yeast. The poem "Religion" resonates with me. This poem reminds a person's religious belief is a personal decision. My religion does not have to be the religion of my parents or other family members. I have always wanted to have a writing as a writer. The poem "You and Your Writing" encourages me to find different things to write about all the time. I struggle with writer's block some times. This poem reassures me that there is always something worth writing about. "What Happened" is a poem that reminds me to live life to the fullest and to have compassion for people who are less fortunate than myself. This poem makes me feel grateful for all the things I have. "My Decalogue" is Ficklestein's version of the Ten Commandments. He believes in not committing adultery, but he humorously phrases by saying to keep it my pants. He recognizes the importance of striving to attend the Sabbath every Sunday. He is truthful when he writes that people can be busy on Sunday. He still advises busy people to go to church when they can. I enjoy the insightful witty writing of Theodore Ficklestein very much.

Really funny as well as thought provoking By Israel Drazin This is a clever very funny book of free-flowing non-rhyming short poems that provokes readers to think. Many of the poems have surprise endings. Some are so sharp you feel you want to read them again. It is the kind of book you want to place on your shelf and pick up from time to time and browse through it. The following are some examples of the shorter poems:One Rule There is only one rule for us to follow on this earth. Treat others the way you would like to be treated. Is it that hard to follow? Apparently. We seem to have a hard time with it. Good thing there aren't two rules or we would really be sunk.Reread That Again Reread that poem you loved as a kid. Replay that song you used to love. Rewatch that movie that was only yours. And I bet you will not see the same thing anymore.

These Poems Need A Round of Applause By Veritas Vincit I have been a poetry lover for many years, and although I started with classic, flowing poetry by the great masters like Browning, Milton, Eliot, and Pound, I have found that ultra-modern poetry speaks to me because it is effortless. Reading good modern poetry should be like spying on the inner monologue of someone that thinks in an interesting way. If short stories are the streamlined version of novels, then poetry is the most focused and pure form of thought. Ficklestein managed to express some powerful sentiments in that pure and focused form, while also making readers laugh, amused at his own self-awareness.He knows that people will be spying on his thoughts, but he still throws caution to the winds, knowing full well that some of his "outside the box" poems will likely be criticized, or even skipped entirely by certain readers merely skimming through the book. Sometimes, he speaks directly to the reader, and at others we feel that he is simply musing on existence and we are being invited to witness it. The profound is mixed with the goofy in such a way that you have to take all of his words with a grain of serious truth. There is power in his shorter poems, and beauty in his longer ones, and he seems to understand what modern lovers of poetry are looking for - a simple, direct, analysis of human nature without the flowery words and elaborate rhyme structures of the past.About 25% of the poems are tongue-in-cheek jokes that land because we are expecting beautiful verse, and instead get useful life advice ("Give em a Kiss" and "Reread that Again" both come to mind). The entire book begs the question of whether that older style of poetry that was wrapped in hugely complex verses really had simple things to say. And if it did, but less people understood it, why is it more valuable or revered? I'm not saying that Ficklestein should be thrown in the literary canon, but in terms of modern poetry that is in your face, funny, and genuine, he's doing quite well. At certain moments, there were even flashes of Bukowski ("Lifestyle") and that direct way of speaking without softening the blow of truth makes for some memorable poems. I look forward to more work from this poet, the world could use more straight speech and wisdom like his.
