I was born
Ellen Marsell said:
The poem is like a confession wrapped in poetry. The images are rich, bizarre, sometimes true. There’s something of the traveler, the storyteller, the old soul who refuses to settle into the mold of time.
Amazing work!

One can not take anything too seriously even religion. A fun read.

It is the fool that speaks wisdom in the king\'s court. The only one listened to because he can speak his will being only a fool. Great write

What remains ?
Sealgair said:
\"What remains ?\" speaks with the voice of a man who has lived, loved, and seen the tides of time wash away what once seemed unshakable. There’s a rugged honesty in these lines, a refusal to romanticize the past too much, even as it lingers like the scent of salt on the wind.
A beautifully written piece - insightful, unflinching and profound.

The setting created for this poem is well thought out. The darkness imagined (night) and the sound (rumble) sets the scene. Darkness alone, rumble not alone. Although we are actually all alone in that no one can enter our soul we are a part of all around us and never alone. We are never alone. A lovely message of comfort.

Ellen Marsell said:
This poem is an exploration of what it means to be a myth - to be both eternal and nonexistent at the same time.
Marilyn was too fragile for this world. A vulnerable child with a mask she wore to survive in society.
Your work deeply impressed me. Bravo!

My inner landscapes
Ellen Marsell said:
The poem can be called picturesque and musical because you use language close to visual art and sound imagery. It is a poetic oasis, full of warmth and gentle melancholy. It creates a sense of a living, cozy world where one wants to linger a little longer. Thank you for this journey!

My inner landscapes
sorenbarrett said:
As the poem speaks it reveals the inner landscapes of the author, some beautiful, others fanciful while others sensuous and philosophical and calm. A wonderful blend of originality and complexity. A really nice poem that calms the soul and takes one to an inner home

This is the true tragedy: those who die believe they are creating the future. But in reality, it is merely an echo of the past.
Impressive writing.

Pavlov house
Ellen Marsell said:
A vivid, poignant, and tragically beautiful work about memory, duty, and friendship - about life on the edge of death. The text is filled with internal rhythms, clashes of sharp images, and shadows of the past.

The dark dahlia
Ellen Marsell said:
We do not know what Elizabeth was thinking in her final moments, but this poetic vision allows us to imagine a dual perspective: the one who departs and the one who extinguishes her.

My father grew Dahlias and some were very dark. A rather serious poem that speaks its message in metaphor. Lovely

Epilogue
Ellen Marsell said:
A subtle, deep poem with a final chord permeated by a sense of instability, fatigue, and the realization of the fragility of one’s own reality.

la tilma
Ellen Marsell said:
The image of the tilma is the heart of the poem, a symbol of the miracle that unites the old and the new in a fragile harmony, serving as a beacon of hope.

Historical roots to this poem of reckoning for past injustices and their consequences. Beautiful imagery and here is a deep metaphor for all to read it is the conquistador in all of us that is being spoken too. Very nice Lorenz

The debt
Distant View said:
Life is strange! When you are young you think you are invincible! When you grow old you realise you are not! But wisdom comes with age (if you are lucky) and you learn not to fear death. It awaits us all!
A dark poem, with some interesting imagery!

This poem demands courage from the reader – to gaze into the abyss and admit that it’s staring right back.

Black existentialism, where death offers neither solace nor salvation. A grim vision reminiscent of Dante or Lovecraft.

I love this idea: that acceptance sets us free. It\'s been a concept that\'s been really hard for me to grasp, this is so beautifully expressed.

Each acceptance is another step to elevation, another step in this journey to the “ kingdom of lights”.
