Testimonials

It is a pleasure to write a bit about “Easy” (James Walter Orr), who aptly describes himself as “I hope to be able to influence the political, economic, and philosophical thinking of our country. As time permits, I hope to outline what I believe to be policies that will help the citizenry, the states of this nation, the nation, and the world to become a fairer place to find justice, freedom and the material where-withal to further the cause of civilization”.

I have known him over last 3-4 years through the medium of the writing community known as writing.com, where both he and I, along with 45000 more, are co-authors.

I have been impressed by his ability to express well through poetry written in proper rhyme and meter, which, in my personal view, is the best form of poetry. That he excels in this form is clear from the fact that in the first 18 rounds of my "POETRY IN RHYME - RHYTHM CONTEST-winner" , he won a prize for 12 of his poems, listed below—

"ODD FELLOW" ,
"SO FAR AWAY" ,
"ACHING IN ACROSTIC FORMAT" ,
"THE NATURE OF LOVE" ,
"THE PARASITES" ,

"ACROSS THE YEARS" ,
"TO EACH, ITS TIME" ,
"FOREVER, NOTHING GROWS" ,
"HE DELAYS NOT HIS COMING" ,
"REINCARNATION" ,

"JUST ONE MORE TIME" ,
"ONE MIGHT HAVE SAID" ,


The last of the above was in March 2007. Then he got too busy with his book to be able to find time for my contest. I am sure some of the above winners would have found a place in his books.

True to his name, Easy Seeker (James Walter Orr) has an
easy way with words, especially poetically speaking.  He
can take a subject and breathe life into it simply by
choosing his words skillfully and effectively.  He can make
the reader burst forth in laughter, or sob and weep with
tears.  His poetry comes alive in the hand, is absorbed by
the eye, and lingers in the mind like a long-lost friend in
such a way as to make the reader nod her head in
recognition and understanding.  He can make the most
mundane feeling evolve into something significant,
planting it tenderly in the reader’s heart, where it grows
into something life changing and, everlasting.  Either way,
whether he uses a pelting of laughter, or a spatter of tears, this writer will move you.  Easily.

Message:
Easy aka James Walter Orr is one of my favorite home-grown poets. I have a string of those, with perhaps Robert Frost being the one who comes most easily to the mind as one others would know. Poetry that flows directly from the mind to the pen is often refreshing and sensitive, but the type of poetry I am speaking of as home-grown is the type that flows from the mind through the heart, tempered with wit and intellect, to the pen. It flows from one person to another, touching special parts of life experiences and feelings that you might think were unique to your own life.
Open up these books, take a step into another person's life and find a touch of your own emotions there.
You will find a new favorite, I have found a great friend as well.
