Love is a Special Thing
sorenbarrett said:

Conflicts occur constantly as to whether we have what it takes to do what we want or not. We are what we are and what we have to work with. Good write

Russian veteran of the war with Hitler after Aleksandr Megiroff
sorenbarrett said:

A sense of mystery in this poem that may be more metaphoric than its initial feel. There is tension left with the reader in the hidden. Nicely written.

The Pearl Fisher\'s Lament
sorenbarrett said:

Isis comes to mind goddess of moon and fertility, healing goddess of the night. This poem is seductive and most sensual in a nonsexual way. Very nicely penned

No, I am not Faust after Semen Kirsanow

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

The Wolf and the Fax after Sam Marshak

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

sorenbarrett said:

A poem of mystery to those that only the English part understand but in the beauty of its part understood the rest is assumed.

Thin rowan after Ivan Surikoff
sorenbarrett said:

This poem could well be a song and it seems roots that are Scottish or Celtic from a long gone era. It calls to me from the past. Beautiful
