Fear
Ellen Marsell said:
This piece stands out for the supple flow of its language and the richness of its metaphor. Each line suggests meaning without imposing conclusion, inviting the reader into a space of quiet introspection. It is, ultimately, a serene philosophy of acceptance.

Fear

A rather Gothic feel to this poem where fear takes the shape of death. Great imagery and wording throughout. It reads dark. Nicely done

It was Berlin
Ellen Marsell said:
A remarkable text — dark and ironic, with undeniable political, historical-philosophical, and existential depth. Through the image of Berlin, a vast spiritual and cultural catastrophe is powerfully conveyed. The poem leaves a strong impression.

Nothing remains of the past nor will it ever. A mystical and metaphorical write of life\'s travails and what comes. Loved it

An asian lady
Ellen Marsell said:
A smooth fusion of geography and soul lends your poem the feeling of delicate, almost mystical painting. A beautiful work! Here, you are a pilgrim through foreign worlds, a catcher of scents and shadows — one who seeks not to possess, but to understand.

Although ignorant of the Chinese language this poem holds many plays on Chinese words or at least close approximations in English and the word play is delightful while it weaves a great and most artistic picture of a stereotypical oriental image. Most lovely

A post card from Mauritius

The sorrowful exoticism of loneliness, wrapped in irony and myth.

Excuse my personal interpretation but upon reading this I could not help feeling nostalgia for the past and a sense of resentment for the plastic present that pervades a vacation isle of comfort in a pretend world of bliss. I\'m sure not what was intended but what I added into it.

The garden of immortals
Ellen Marsell said:
An interesting and vivid piece. A cycle of three poetic messages, rich in lyrical confessions, existential questions, and cultural echoes. Each part resonates with a tone attuned to the spirit of its hero — whether it\'s Cohen with his melancholic irony, Morrison with the pulse of rebellion and the abyss, or Yusuf Islam with quiet faith and forgiveness. In the end, everything merges into the image of the \"garden of immortals\" — a space of love, protest, and prayer.

This poem reminiscent of Poe\'s The Raven took me back. So nicely crafted in that style and leaving that haunting feeling a fave

Ellen Marsell said:
This poem of the inner night sounds like the confession of a weary wanderer, carrying within him a thousand voices, memories, dreams, and masks - yet in this moment, he is alone.

You\'re a regular riot with this, you rascal! I declare! How deliciously loaded with so much weighty imagery you\'ve got my head spinning, its inherent poignancy haunting with a tantalizing tease. Thank you for sharing.

This is in a different way what we all are. We are a mix of so many things a recipe that is unequal never to be duplicated. and with all this we share feelings and sometimes love. Wonderful!

My twin sister
sorenbarrett said:
You know what it is to hear discordant music this poem was so many chords that needed resolution. Metaphor after metaphor and I am just now recovering. A good read Lorenz that is satisfying in its shifts of direction.

Ellen Marsell said:
The poem is like a mystical farewell symphony. A deep, tender requiem addressed to that part of oneself which remained in another dimension. This letter is both a testament, a goodbye, and a promise of reunion. I love it.

Ellen Marsell said:
Grotesque, caricature, tragicomedy. The poem feels like it’s assembled from brushstrokes of old posters, half-forgotten jokes, and cultural references. That’s its special charm. I really like it.

Incarnation
Ellen Marsell said:
A kind of mystical autobiography of the soul.
A brilliant poem where the soul wanders between reincarnations, dissolving into images and eras.

An apocalyptic satire with a philosophical undertone. A powerful text.

Catholic images pervade this poem and certainly must unlock the meaning hidden beneath the layers. Love the symbolism.

Love turned into poison?
A poetic mini-drama laced with humor... The imagery borders on surreal, yet remains emotionally recognizable.
