The Great Chill
arqios said:
Your poem beautifully captures the tension between our human instinct to withdraw from hardship and the natural world’s patient endurance. While the \"turtles\" in the first stanza represent a sterile safety found in isolation, the climber and the snow offer a more profound perspective on resilience. By personifying the snow as a \"glacial stream\" that remembers its past as water, the poet reminds us that even our most \"frozen\" moments of despair are temporary. It’s a powerful reflection on the idea that the \"chill\" we feel internally isn\'t a permanent state, but rather a season that will eventually thaw into a new dream.

A powerful poem. Well done. Your poem \"The Great Chill\" explores the themes of isolation, the struggle against harsh conditions, and the cyclical nature of existence. It contrasts the warmth of human hope and dreams with the stark and unyielding cold of reality.

Ode to the Lost Muse
sorenbarrett said:
Wow! such powerful words that speak to the heart of conformity and obedience subjugation to authority and the expectations of the masses. There is defiance in these words and warning a prophesy for poets. One must know the rules before one is allowed to break them but once known there is freedom in choice and courage in defiance. A lovely write and a fave

The Bereaved Mother, Assam (A Homage to Our Beloved ,The Heartthrob of Assam And The Humming King of the World ~ Zubeen Garg🙏🙏💝💝😪😥)
sorenbarrett said:
So good to see you back and this poem a seeming dialog of such poetic form speaks as if from the dead. What does it mean? But who has died? I became startled upon finishing the first part for right below you name appears in what appears to be the answer to the question. Sighed a sigh of relief seeing that it merely meant that you had written it. There appears to be great suffering here and sadness that pervades the poem. It leaves me with a sense of mourning. Very nicely written

Once again wisdom in a poem. The last two lines hit me the hardest and made the poem good to great and a fave. We all see love differently some selfish for what it does to us others for what we can do for others.

Both, and Neither
arqios said:
This tender ode feels like a heartfelt conversation with the weather; an honest confession that we crave what both nourishes and wounds us. From the first stanza’s naming of the sun to the final image of “one hand burning, one hand wet,” it captures the tension of desiring two opposing forces at once. Reminds me of a personal vent poem written decades ago, about being both and neither. Superb relatability. 🕊️🙏🏻
