Summertime
Ellen Marsell said:
This poem is about how summer is not always about sunshine and lightness. It is also a season of memory, pain, freedom, and illusion. Rich metaphors, musical allusions, and subtle historical references are present here. A wonderful work!

Uroboros
Ellen Marsell said:
A powerful and profound poem about cosmic solitude and the eternal serpent ring into which fate is woven.

Thank you Soren I like the term \'\'unending circle\'\' Which musically reminds me the Ravel\'s bolero .

A most wonderful reflection on the unending circle. Love and life from birth to death in transformation this poem is surrealistic in its presentation. Very nicely done my friend.

It\'s a truly fascinating myth that carries with it the mystery of (its non) creation !

Uroboros
Mourgana of the Fey said:
Hello,
You have depicted an original version of the ouroboros both as the symbol for hermetic alchemy and the archetype for individuation and the becoming of things matter and process. Perhaps birthing as creation from the womb of the universe or the cosmos. An intriguing poem and read! Greetings and blessings,
R

The lingering scent of a summer that may never return, but continues to live on in the folds of lyricism.

A love letter sealed in poetry — fragrant, tender, drifting in memory.

A most beautiful mix of metaphor, fantasy, realities images of a place that exists but yet does not except in memories cast on the shores of love and desire where anything is possible and all things are fond shadows of the past. A hearty stew for a poet. Beautiful!

Jazz joint
Ellen Marsell said:
A time-travel poem. It is filled with musicality, rhythm, internal repetitions and associative poetics. It breathes jazz, reproducing its nature: improvisation, vibration, emotional freedom. You have brought an entire era to life in your words.

The voice of blood
sorenbarrett said:
I hear religion and its symbols used as excuses and archetypes of violence inherent in the human being. A lust for blood to satiate violent desires it is seductive and almost sexual. Dark this poem speaks in rituals.

Capricorn
Ellen Marsell said:
Philosophical and astrological symbols create a powerful, monolithic image here. Capricorn is stern, determined—a symbol of existence bound by the iron logic of being. He appears as a figure of authority, discipline, and structure, yet he does not possess true power over his own essence. I believe he is also a tragic figure—aware of his limitations but unable to transcend them.
This is an interesting work—an intellectual piece that allows for multiple interpretations. Bravo!

This poem in its darkness speaks to me of justice and in that a sense of balance. Nicely worded in a mystic style.

Smile
Ellen Marsell said:
The poem is rich in symbolism and carries many mesmerizing meanings and shades.
It is an invitation to see the smile in all its manifestations: an act of survival, a trace of the past, a broken dream.
Here, the smile is like a fragile thread, a glowing trace in the darkness—sometimes misused, sometimes forgotten, but never completely extinguished.

So true there is a regression to the mean. Smiles go back to nonsmiles. A lovely message about true change. Nicely said

Old couple

This poem is a real little miracle. It conveys a sense of time that passes, but does not destroy the bond between people.

Moments in time flashes in the mind, memories and their associations, secrets buried upturned by triggers in the present. Mysteries and secrets this poem leaves a feeling of buried ghosts of a most peaceful and friendly nature that pass by us in the form of others. Very nicely written Lorenz

A deeply philosophical poem built upon the image of the rose, symbolizing the different stages of life. A beautifully crafted and memorable piece.
