DOOR WITH A BROKEN HINGE
sorenbarrett said:
Metaphoric it speaks to me of when that flexibility that allows for free passage is broken then there is no room for discourse, consideration, and hope is shut out. Nicely written

DOOR WITH A BROKEN HINGE
orchidee said:
Good write N. I suppose the hinge on the door has to be replaced, or repaired. Maybe so somehow in an emotional way too.
A bit like - \'Oh don\'t visit x; he /she is in a terrible state, all of a heap\'. Then again, that could be the time they need visit most.
You all of a heap? (heehee).

NIGHT OF STARS
Lorenz said:
Lying on the ground on a remote island in the south Pacific I contemplated the myriad stars, wondering where the gods might be hidding ?

NIGHT OF STARS
Friendship said:
I can relate to this poem so well. Well written. Your poem revolves around themes of loneliness, isolation, and the search for connection amid despair. The imagery of the \"starry night\" symbolizes both beauty and a sense of longing, while the references to “open wounds” and “yearning” highlight deep emotional pain and desire for understanding or companionship. The poem suggests a contemplation of one\'s inner self in the face of existential loneliness, evoking a profound sense of introspection.

In a surreal approach this poem reaches for the heavens to unite oneself with nature and the universe. Most lovely

CARAVAGGIO The Incredulity of Saint Thomas

Here the doubting Thomas and so we all are I scarcely believe what I do see and touch in a world of scams, technology that can create your picture doing things in places you have never been. One does not know what to believe anymore. Nicely done

CARAVAGGIO The Incredulity of Saint Thomas
orchidee said:
Good write N. Should we have patience with Thomas, or be a bit annoyed with him? He disbelieved the other 10 disciples who saw Jesus (Judas was gone by then). But he insisted on seeing for himself. The 10 may have said or thought: \'You calling us all liars, Thomas?\'
