Metaphors are hidden, no doubt—and that’s what rewards close readings. What always amazes me, however, are the metaphors hidden even from the author. There are times when I write something with a clear metaphor in mind—and that metaphor is definitely present—but then someone else sees another metaphor I didn’t initially intend. For me, that’s when the reader isn’t just rewarded by their close read—their close read ends up rewarding the poet. Wonderful poem, truly—and a magical appearance on the page. A fave from me, my friend. 🌹👏

The many colours of the chameleon as there are in the array of metaphors that enhance the flavours of poetry or as you so perfectly describe it: \'Camouflaged eloquence\'. Delightfully light in its narrative with a mellow flow and rhymed off to perfection. Excellent - accolades galore.
Kind regards,
Tony.

You are not only an artist but also a teacher. Well written. The entire poem functions metaphorically, comparing metaphors to chameleons and hidden creatures. It revolves around metaphors and poetic imagery, likening them to chameleons that blend into their environment, and emphasizing the subtlety and complexity of meaning in poetry that may not be immediately apparent. The poem is a meditation on the nature of language, metaphor, and the hidden meanings within poetry. Your poem encourages readers to look beyond the surface of language and appreciate the subtle nuances and hidden meanings that can enrich the experience of reading poetry, inviting reflection on the complexities of communication and expression.

Absolutely wonderful, I\'ve actually had the priveliage to hold a chameleon in my very hands and watch it change colour in Madagascar in the wild, your metaphor is truly graceful. Whether is the serpent or the angel. 🌹

I love the use of repetitive rhyming here in the different stanzas! Very simple but is nicely tied together :)

An excellent poem that acknowledges the reality that the very animals we admire are the same animals \"we\" kill to eat in a savory meal. (I put \"we\" in quotes because I am a vegetarian...but at one time I was not). Anyway, this is a powerful poem, Soren. 🌹👏

Your poem celebrates the profound bond between humans and birds, illuminating themes of beauty, life, loss, and the transformative power of creativity. It juxtaposes the uplifting beauty of birds with the profound realities of life and death.

Love the birds, Soren! Many of them come so close to the human world. Perhaps they\'re being prepared? Yes, I have eaten many of them.
Beautiful write.

I sense this is about killing beautiful birds just to have a bit of lunch at the shooting party, something I do not agree with, nicely crafted write

I needed to read this 3 times to truly appreciate the profound meaning behind your painting, because it resonated with me in 3 different ways. I always strive to uncover the purpose of a painting, and this is the beautiful purpose I discovered in your poem today. The use of \'caisson\' and \'basin\' serves as powerful metaphors for the poet’s mind and creative well, suggesting a deep reservoir of inspiration. Your poem explores the intrinsic relationship between life experiences and the creation of poetry, revealing how emotions and passions flow like rivers, influencing the poet\'s work. The imagery of a \'drain\' and \'sink\' signifies the struggles and challenges of expressing feelings, while the mention of the \'Muse\' indicates the source of inspiration. Ultimately, the poem reflects the continuous, often tumultuous, process of translating life\'s complexities into art. The poem\'s purpose is to convey the idea that poetry is a vital expression of life’s experiences, and that creating art often involves navigating through deep emotional currents. The poet seeks to articulate the messy, beautiful process of transforming personal turmoil into artistic expression.
