I do not know what this form is called but it\'s rotating repetition in this poem is haunting and most effective. A fave

I enjoyed this read, I am useless on a computer, I still write the same way as a child, pen and paper, then speak into computer. That azerty was a heavy beast to carry around

unrelenting horizon
Soman Ragavan said:
The horizon is typical of illusions that surround us. You keep going towards the horizon and it keeps moving away from you. You keep going and finally, having gone round, you will find yourself at the starting point… Hello, this resembles real life…
The sun gives life, it also gives death. “We forget what we were chasing…” Happens in human life. Quite often we chase illusions, like that horizon… It is a beautiful scene, whether on land or on the sea…
The sun rules during the day, then disappears. The moon and the stars take over. Poets capture the wonders of nature.
“the quiet surrender” : it is surrender to the sun (think sunrise or sunset) or romantic surrender to the moon or the stars…
“unbroken loop…” : the loop that has been going on since time immemorial, captured by poetic eyes.
“the ceaseless chase…” : throughout life we are chasing after things, after dreams…
We will notice how poets capture the philosophy of life, of what goes on around us and that escapes the attention of others.
“The poet\'s task is to reveal life at its most intense; to do this he must seize on the essence of a thing, his eye must catch the significant detail, and reveal it by the significant word. He perceives what ordinary men do not perceive….”-- S. H. Burton : \"THE CRITICISM OF POETRY.\" London : Longman Group Ltd., 1950. (2nd Edition, 1974).

A poem that like the raising sun slowly reveals its light until with full power the message is given then it descends below the horizon leaving the darkness of its meaning. What is the meaning of life? The routine of each raising sun unwavering, the forgetting of the past in night. All about us in routine the bee from flower to flower to make honey for the hive. Work till death and then. A most meaningful poem that gives one thought and the answer is darker than the question itself. A fave

Gorgeous and so deliciously laden with imagery which sets the imagination on fire as the poet\'s extended hand, with such an invite fit to tantalize, is taken hesitantly, whirling the reader off into an adventure such as we never dreamed. Beautifully rendered with superb imagery and a wonderfully haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
