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!

Facing the dragon

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.

Love cruise
Ellen Marsell said:

The combination of humor and cynicism gives your poem a darkish charm. Great!

Dead in Venice
Ellen Marsell said:

Venice has long symbolized vice, temptation, and hidden danger, making it a source of inspiration for some writers and poets.
This poem is like a creepy ballad. Roberto Succo, infamous for his cruelty, is felt as a ghost wandering through Venice. His image gives the poem an ominous tone, combining the beauty of Venice with tragedy and decay.

Dead in Venice
sorenbarrett said:

A dark and angry tone to this well written piece. It speaks of foul deeds and has a fotting smell that takes the reader to the shadows. Very nicely done

The venom of days
Dan Williams said:

Well done Lorenze, high marks impressing my basic beliefs, \"A bitter sap flows from the tree of possibilities.\" is so thought provoking. Nice.

My inner language
Ellen Marsell said:

It is a sensual, spiritual and emotional work that reveals your deep inner world. The idea of “inner language” as a complex mosaic - a fusion of cultures and eras - is beautifully revealed here.

The venom of days
Tristan Robert Lange said:

A wonderfully engaging and alluring danger lurking in these words, one that the cynical tone is conveying clearly, along with themes of loss and memory. I love the surrealist imagery, always a grab for me and the way you slither those venomous snakes in, brilliantly done! This poem, friend, is masterful.

The venom of days
Ellen Marsell said:

A truly November atmosphere, and with a touch of grim irony, is what I felt.

The venom of days
sorenbarrett said:

In this poem I taste the cynicism as it pours out of the lines. There is a darkness that speaks from the shadows. A heavy poem of metaphor lovely

Wise old man
Ellen Marsell said:

Such exquisite writing!
Wisdom is not just knowledge and years, but the ability to savor the moment, to observe and see the world with greater depth and simplicity. I think of it this way.

Wise old man
sorenbarrett said:

Could be. Wisdom grows like the trunk of a tree discarding those branches not needed. After years only what is important remains. A lovely write so well worded and very reflective of those things that hold meaning.

I would return
Ellen Marsell said:

\"The beauty of Versailles lies in its mystery: it remains an eternal illusion where everyone sees only what they want to see.\"
A beautiful poem!

A journey through soundscapes, an exploration without boundaries... And each place offers its own unique musical flavor.

Old world
Dan Williams said:

You had me with \"who leaves history, forgetting to flush \" and rounded off nicely with \"Your flamboyant eagles give birth to pigeons\". Good job here.

Old world
sorenbarrett said:

Wonderfully worded this poem portrays for me a world rusting and aging with deterioration from previous splendor, then comes the final line and oh yes I remember Lee Van Cleef but then I too am old.

Old world
Ellen Marsell said:

The oblivion of true values and the inevitability of the decline of former power. A bitterly ironic work with a powerful ending. Impressive!

Mourn city
Cheeky Missy said:

Oh, but this is as ghastly and macabre as everyone was begging for last month, the cruel reality of these facts beautifully rendered poetically to enchant the facts which all ere wanting do not truly care to face. Thank you very much for sharing.

Mourn city
Ellen Marsell said:

A poem in muted tones. An atmosphere of despair, but there\'s something mesmerizing about these bleak images.
I especially like this line: “strained wrecks as deranged clocks...”.
