Tatiana Reymer The Goblin
sorenbarrett said:
An ugly beginning with a happy ending. We seldom acknowledge the good influence that someone loved can have upon us. A fun read with a moral that all children would be advised to hear.

The Winebag and the Death
sorenbarrett said:
I like this poem and its metaphor within metaphor. Bitter fate is reinforced with the idea of drinking and a bitter taste of the drink. Death seductive as a woman is seen up close as an ugly mug-snout repulsive and unwanted. Yet in another view this may be drink and the symbolic death one experiences in drunkenness passing on in a symbolic death of drunken slumber. Well written leaving the interpretation up to the reader.

The lament of The Russian Inmate after Arkadi Severni
sorenbarrett said:
This poem carries the feel of Russian writing, I\'ve read Tolstoy, Turgenev, Dostoevsky and it carries the feel of desperation, acceptance and depression. Lovely

The Saga of the Russian Civil War Part 1 after Edward Bagritski
sorenbarrett said:
Quite the story as a metaphor and with such a touch that it seemed Russian or Ukrainian to a man that has seen neither but only read Russian authors. Lovely write

Russian Ballad after Alexander Vazenmiller
sorenbarrett said:
There are stacks of wood in the wood shed here and someone has lost a hair that must be found. I search desperately but only found a red herring. A most intriguing poem that presented so many metaphors that my head is still spinning. I think I\'m in a house of mirrors here. No matter where I look I see a face looking back at me. Loved it

Dear Loss by Alexander Vertinsky

So well written in metaphor this process of loss and moving on that clings with fingers to the past. It is a bit haunting and very real. Very nicely worded in soliloquy form.
