Cape Reinga
Ellen Marsell said:
Cape Reinga is a symbolic place. On the one hand, it\'s the tip of the land in front of the vast ocean. But for the Maori, it is a sacred place from which souls depart to the next world. Emotionally and spiritually, it is the boundary where maps, routes and landmarks end. It\'s a place where one is left to one\'s own devices. It is not a place where answers are sought, but a place where silence is sought ... Great poem!

Sublime uncreature
Ellen Marsell said:
An inner dialogue with the one who grants inspiration — but demands complete self-surrender in return.

It is in contradiction that wisdom is found, the birth of nature on a cross of death. A lovely poem of a quest for the unattainable and so are all true quests. Ephemeral and everchanging truth is born and dies to be resurrected from phoenix ashes. A very deep poem in the quest for true poetry.

A fave for so many great lines and metaphors in this poem. It keeps its course and takes one to the past and its most pleasant moments sweetening the bitterness of the present. It is the sugar in the black coffee. Lovely as always

The mummy story
Ellen Marsell said:
This final question is like a moral judgment on the era. The abduction of paradise, the destruction of memory, the transformation of the past into a stage set - all this has a price.

Do I detect a metaphor here? The last lines and question make me wonder. A lovely write of history now present.

My lady death
Ellen Marsell said:
A poetic requiem, written with love, grace, and dignity. It is not about fear, but about acceptance. A magnificent work!

The eternal return, the circle of life, death and memory.
I love the pulsating musicality of your poem. Already from the first lines it creates a hypnotic mood.

Beautiful words about something so feared. A lovely poem of what none should fear

Libra
Ellen Marsell said:
A lyrical portrait of a woman born under the sign of Libra. In this poetic light her image is revealed even deeper, more subtle. I love it!

This poem beautifully combines whimsy and reflection. I love how it invites the reader into a dream universe full of playful imagery and deeper undercurrents.
Well done.

A wonderful poem, full of lightness, irony, sincerity, and depth — and also a generous invitation to journey through the inner worlds.

Lost words
Ellen Marsell said:
A poem of a wandering spirit. The universe here is deeply symbolic, with strong, sometimes mysterious images that give the text a fantastic power.

So much symbolism lies in this poem full of metaphor. It is a light in its darkness and contains many good lines. The firs six lines captured my interest and sank deep. Next (whose genius is only his folly) is a very deep message. Thought provoking this poem is a fave
