The Angel of Oblivion
Sealgair said:
The image of the angel gently touching the \"dimple of oblivion\" is both comforting and unsettling - like a tenderness that hides a farewell.
A beautiful poem

An interesting write, I got the sense the dimple represents a small dose of oblivion as the write I feel is dealing with the passing of a child, apologies if I have got that wrong, nicely expressed and written, enjoyed the read

A most interesting title that inspires a great deal of thought. Beyond the title the idea there being a dimple in oblivion gives pause. A fun read

Very, very lovely and wonderfully evocative, delicately rendered to effect, leaving a breathless sense in its wake as if a bodiless presence has sifted through in the perusal. Yet wherefore the preoccupation and cultish worship of Sylvia Plath? Someday perhaps I\'ll understand. Presently I\'ve other, more ancient poets and poetesses I\'m fond of, yet in love with none as aught is merely a fallible person. Thank you so very much for sharing. I love it.

Our grasp on time so small we have no view. We look at a molecule in the sea a grain of sand on the beach. We have no idea. Well written

Your poem is impressive in its philosophical restraint. I saw in it echoes of Russian poetry… It is in this harmony of reflection and feeling that its special power is born.
