Silence
Ellen Marsell said:
Something like a cry of the soul, striving for silence, peace and harmony in contrast to the chaos and noise of modernity. A strong and imaginative poem with a pronounced poetic sensibility.

Somewhere along my way
sorenbarrett said:
In reading this, I feel like I have just come out of a purple haze of the 60s even though it speaks of a blue haze may be more modern. I like the last line and it provokes thought about avatars all together

Somewhere along my way
Ellen Marsell said:
This poem has a rich, reflective character, conveying the spirit of a way that is both physical and existential in nature. A way full of illusions, impermanence and fleeting moments where you encounter different facets of yourself and the world around you, leaving behind a trail of encounters and losses.

Mystical fluids
Ellen Marsell said:
The poem creates an image of the inextricable link between life and death. It is a lyrical monologue about the coming and going nature of life. Powerful metaphors conjure up the ephemerality of body and soul, weaving an intimate conversation between Eros (love, striving for life) and Thanatos (death, dissolution). The union of these opposing forces creates a mystical atmosphere.

This one folks strong images of the body dissolving into liquid. At first, not a pleasant thought, but with some reflection, it gives new meaning to the old passage, ashes to ashes and dust dust returning to the Earth, maybe returning to the sea a beautiful poem.

In these lines one can sense a deep weariness and even alienation from a world consumed by oblivion and decay.

Facing the dragon
Ellen Marsell said:
The beauty of this poem is in its contradictions: the horror and mesmerizing power of the dragon, despair and a glimmer of hope in the distant flicker of light, which may be just the breath of this mythical creature.
You invite to a meeting with the abyss - not only external, but also internal.
Captivating piece and magnificent images!

A whimsical scent of distance well from the shores of any known place. Nicely stated.

Love cruise
Dan Williams said:
I believe people who say they understand love are either liars or fools. You take a really good stab at it though. Nice work.

Dead in Venice
Ellen Marsell said:
Venice has long symbolized vice, temptation, and hidden danger, making it a source of inspiration for some writers and poets.
This poem is like a creepy ballad. Roberto Succo, infamous for his cruelty, is felt as a ghost wandering through Venice. His image gives the poem an ominous tone, combining the beauty of Venice with tragedy and decay.

A dark and angry tone to this well written piece. It speaks of foul deeds and has a fotting smell that takes the reader to the shadows. Very nicely done

Well done Lorenze, high marks impressing my basic beliefs, \"A bitter sap flows from the tree of possibilities.\" is so thought provoking. Nice.

My inner language
Ellen Marsell said:
It is a sensual, spiritual and emotional work that reveals your deep inner world. The idea of “inner language” as a complex mosaic - a fusion of cultures and eras - is beautifully revealed here.

The venom of days
Tristan Robert Lange said:
A wonderfully engaging and alluring danger lurking in these words, one that the cynical tone is conveying clearly, along with themes of loss and memory. I love the surrealist imagery, always a grab for me and the way you slither those venomous snakes in, brilliantly done! This poem, friend, is masterful.

In this poem I taste the cynicism as it pours out of the lines. There is a darkness that speaks from the shadows. A heavy poem of metaphor lovely
