Praying
Ellen Marsell said:
Strong imagery ranging from religious symbols to revelations about loneliness. And a bit of irony in reflecting on the nature of faith.

\"Therefore pray not thou for these people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.\"

The city
Ellen Marsell said:
The urge to leave that place, yet realize that it has become a part of you. I love it!

Great descriptors of a city marked in metaphor and painted in symbols. Beautiful!

I like these images and the subtle humor with which you play around the theme of aging. Great!

Silence
Ellen Marsell said:
Something like a cry of the soul, striving for silence, peace and harmony in contrast to the chaos and noise of modernity. A strong and imaginative poem with a pronounced poetic sensibility.

A powerful statement, this poem speaks of strong feelings. Very strongly written.

Somewhere along my way

In reading this, I feel like I have just come out of a purple haze of the 60s even though it speaks of a blue haze may be more modern. I like the last line and it provokes thought about avatars all together

Somewhere along my way
Ellen Marsell said:
This poem has a rich, reflective character, conveying the spirit of a way that is both physical and existential in nature. A way full of illusions, impermanence and fleeting moments where you encounter different facets of yourself and the world around you, leaving behind a trail of encounters and losses.

Mystical fluids
Ellen Marsell said:
The poem creates an image of the inextricable link between life and death. It is a lyrical monologue about the coming and going nature of life. Powerful metaphors conjure up the ephemerality of body and soul, weaving an intimate conversation between Eros (love, striving for life) and Thanatos (death, dissolution). The union of these opposing forces creates a mystical atmosphere.

This one folks strong images of the body dissolving into liquid. At first, not a pleasant thought, but with some reflection, it gives new meaning to the old passage, ashes to ashes and dust dust returning to the Earth, maybe returning to the sea a beautiful poem.

In these lines one can sense a deep weariness and even alienation from a world consumed by oblivion and decay.

Facing the dragon
Ellen Marsell said:
The beauty of this poem is in its contradictions: the horror and mesmerizing power of the dragon, despair and a glimmer of hope in the distant flicker of light, which may be just the breath of this mythical creature.
You invite to a meeting with the abyss - not only external, but also internal.
Captivating piece and magnificent images!

A whimsical scent of distance well from the shores of any known place. Nicely stated.

Love cruise
Dan Williams said:
I believe people who say they understand love are either liars or fools. You take a really good stab at it though. Nice work.
