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

sorenbarrett said:
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.

Anima
Sealgair said:
He who seeks to understand his anima does not tame her; he learns to dance with her, to listen, and to let her shape his soul.
Really enjoyed it!

Anima
Ellen Marsell said:
A very tender, lyrical poem about the hidden, intuitive, and ever-changing feminine essence that resides within a man\'s soul. It captures the mystery and charm of the Anima - elusive, playful, and transformative - both muse and enchantress, inspiring yet forever unattainable.

In metaphor a real woman I\'ve met yet in reality symbols that have left me. A mystical poem that has deeper meaning and where gratitude is due. What is love but a collection of mystical beliefs and illusions. Nicely written

Contemplation
Ellen Marsell said:
Sooner or later, the moment comes when the outward search turns inward. True understanding of the world comes through a dialogue with oneself and the wisdom gathered over the years. A wonderful piece!

Pandora\'s box
Ellen Marsell said:
The theme of the eternal repetition of humanity’s mistakes, of power playing with people’s fates, and of the inevitability of self-destruction runs through the entire text. There is no traditional image of hope left at the bottom of Pandora’s box - only inevitability. A striking and powerful work.

Pandora\'s box
Friendship said:
poem serves as a cautionary tale, warning against complacency in the face of suffering and injustice. It urges readers to consider the consequences of their choices and the moral implications of societal actions. The use of dark imagery and allusions to myth reinforces the idea that history may repeat itself if lessons are not learned.

Ellen Marsell said:
A remarkable exploration of language, its power, and its treachery. You convey how words take on a life of their own—sometimes obedient, sometimes rebellious, always unpredictable. There is a subtle irony in how the poet, seemingly the master of words, ends up at their mercy, carried away by their flow. Strong, imaginative and profound text!

Lorenz you captured me with this poem. The personification of words such a creative idea that fits so well with the complexities of language like the complexities of people that use it. Mistaken, confused, truthful and deceitful it sooths and violates. Well said in such a charming manner. A fave
