Mister Asperger
Ellen Marsell said:
There’s so much fantasy, grotesque, humor, and ruthless honesty here. All of it comes together into a portrait of someone “off the grid” — sealed inside their own world with no entry for outsiders. I really enjoyed this poem — it’s smart, vivid, and deliciously ironic.

Echoes of the elder forest
Ellen Marsell said:
The whole poem feels as if it were written on the breath of autumn, in the rhythm of falling leaves. It\'s the poetry of the last ray of light gliding down the tree trunk before the day fades away.

Echoes of the elder forest
sorenbarrett said:
The setting is one of depth and feeling. Despite the location I sense Arthurian legends here and the lady of the lake. It gives the feel of Sir George Frasier\'s recounting of the King of the forest from (The Golden Bough) In this sylvan forest magic and myth mix with history. A lovely write

Letter to the lost poet
Ellen Marsell said:
These lines cut deep — full of irony and ruthless truth. A manifesto against falseness, against egocentric whining disguised as art.
A scalpel of truth in poetic form — bravo.

Like drifting though a snowstorm and trying to grab individual flakes to piece together into a larger crystal this poem had me scampering. Nicely written Lorenz

Digital nightmare
Ellen Marsell said:
An epitaph to an entire era that lived through an explosion of rebellion, idealism, and psychedelic freedom — only to awaken in a digital nightmare, where the dreams of the past survive only as shadows. Colorful kaleidoscopes and existential quests have given way to digital algorithms, global advertising, and faceless social media.
The ending is sharp and cold, like a sudden drop into the void. This poem is a farewell to a world that can no longer be returned to.
Brilliantly written.

Digital nightmare
sorenbarrett said:
Images of the past float and filter through this poem of nostalgia burning on fires of the present. The smell of melting vinal records turns to odorless digital autotune where society is now pitch corrected. A lovely write of the past now buried under disposable consumer trash. Loved it

This poem gently pulls you in - like falling into a dream you half remember. Quietly powerful, with images that linger.

Lucid vertigo
Ellen Marsell said:
\"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.\"
In this poem, the inner gaze awakens something beyond chronology and personal biography — an eternal memory echoing through the centuries.

Poem at low tide
Sealgair said:
I really liked the imagery - very precise, very vivid details. Everything feels lived through and deeply reflected upon.
Beautiful and powerful

Such a beautiful and touching piece. It carries a sense of maturity and quiet wisdom — the kind only life can teach. I truly enjoyed reading it.

Kafka
Ellen Marsell said:
Dark poetry about life, madness, death, and the illusion of meaning, embodied in images inspired by Franz Kafka and his world.
You weave philosophy, surrealism, and sharp poetic intuition into a single burning thread of thought.
Wonderfully written!

Hobson\'s choice

A flight feels less about travel more about inner escape.....
Last line caught my eyes....
Brilliant creation.

The world teems with symbols and shadows, yet all is fleeting. Choice is but an illusion.
