The last hour angel
Cheeky Missy said:
Fascinating. I could swear tis an eloquent piece on Florence Nightingale, no? Yet there\'s a subtle darker note flirting about the song as if a demoness has coyly framed herself as an angel. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

The image is clear and familiar especially in Catholic countries and hospitals. A symbol of peace mother\'s unconditional love, of healing. Very nice

This poem covers a lot of ground and speaks to relationships and timing. Age is an issue but not always there are more important things. Loved this poem it is mind provoking

Apocalypto café
sorenbarrett said:
A poem with a dark horizon that has at the same time a firmness and resolve just as any tough bar that we would walk into. Loved it

Apocalypto café
Ellen Marsell said:
This poem has its own rebellious rhythm and breath, along with a slightly chaotic and expressionistic style. Post-punk runs through every line. And the \'Apocalypto bar\' is not so much a place as it is a state of being. It feels like a \'Babylon in decline\'.

Farewell letter
Sealgair said:
An act of artistic deromanticization — a mocking and tragicomic farewell to illusions. It was a compelling read!

Farewell letter
Ellen Marsell said:
It seems that this unusual piece conceals a particular philosophy: love as a temporary illusion with an expired shelf life.
The poem absorbs elements of poetic confession, domestic grotesque, and existential satire, balancing between revelation and mockery. An expressive and original piece!

This letter leaves questions as to whom it is addressed to. Is it the reader or to the author themselves. A most thought provoking write.

Fear
Ellen Marsell said:
This piece stands out for the supple flow of its language and the richness of its metaphor. Each line suggests meaning without imposing conclusion, inviting the reader into a space of quiet introspection. It is, ultimately, a serene philosophy of acceptance.

Fear
sorenbarrett said:
A rather Gothic feel to this poem where fear takes the shape of death. Great imagery and wording throughout. It reads dark. Nicely done

It was Berlin
Ellen Marsell said:
A remarkable text — dark and ironic, with undeniable political, historical-philosophical, and existential depth. Through the image of Berlin, a vast spiritual and cultural catastrophe is powerfully conveyed. The poem leaves a strong impression.

Nothing remains of the past nor will it ever. A mystical and metaphorical write of life\'s travails and what comes. Loved it

An asian lady
Ellen Marsell said:
A smooth fusion of geography and soul lends your poem the feeling of delicate, almost mystical painting. A beautiful work! Here, you are a pilgrim through foreign worlds, a catcher of scents and shadows — one who seeks not to possess, but to understand.

sorenbarrett said:
Although ignorant of the Chinese language this poem holds many plays on Chinese words or at least close approximations in English and the word play is delightful while it weaves a great and most artistic picture of a stereotypical oriental image. Most lovely

The sorrowful exoticism of loneliness, wrapped in irony and myth.

Excuse my personal interpretation but upon reading this I could not help feeling nostalgia for the past and a sense of resentment for the plastic present that pervades a vacation isle of comfort in a pretend world of bliss. I\'m sure not what was intended but what I added into it.

The garden of immortals
Ellen Marsell said:
An interesting and vivid piece. A cycle of three poetic messages, rich in lyrical confessions, existential questions, and cultural echoes. Each part resonates with a tone attuned to the spirit of its hero — whether it\'s Cohen with his melancholic irony, Morrison with the pulse of rebellion and the abyss, or Yusuf Islam with quiet faith and forgiveness. In the end, everything merges into the image of the \"garden of immortals\" — a space of love, protest, and prayer.

Ellen Marsell said:
This poem of the inner night sounds like the confession of a weary wanderer, carrying within him a thousand voices, memories, dreams, and masks - yet in this moment, he is alone.

You\'re a regular riot with this, you rascal! I declare! How deliciously loaded with so much weighty imagery you\'ve got my head spinning, its inherent poignancy haunting with a tantalizing tease. Thank you for sharing.

This is in a different way what we all are. We are a mix of so many things a recipe that is unequal never to be duplicated. and with all this we share feelings and sometimes love. Wonderful!

My twin sister
sorenbarrett said:
You know what it is to hear discordant music this poem was so many chords that needed resolution. Metaphor after metaphor and I am just now recovering. A good read Lorenz that is satisfying in its shifts of direction.
