moon and soul
sorenbarrett said:
In this poem of surreal images there is a feeling of mystery and darkness being revealed. It is soft and romantic in a way but has a sharpness to it as well. Nicely written

Nicely written. Your poem explores the fragility of human emotions and the delicate balance of life, love, and the preservation of beauty.

sad monkey in the rain...
sorenbarrett said:
I have never seen a bald monkey, too much testosterone I guess. Sad monkeys I have seen they are less active and less troublesome to others. Grey angels dirtied with their work of saving people where the dirt rubs off. All in the rain so sad nature\'s tears that water the ground and bring new life. But one thing that I can\'t figure out why is the monkey bald. A most interesting write that seems surreal and most metaphoric.

Here time passes and wisdom grows. Some great lines here (shadows that have taken off their hoods) (shadows warming themselves) these are great poetic images.

...she looks like an angel

Stars the metaphor a mystery, a future lover, wisdom, beauty the separation between stars and earth the cemetery and its separation between life and death, the looking like a homeless man and that separation between poor and the rest of humanity. There is alienation in this poem a distancing. Well written

I love your line \" I walked slowly through the grass so as not to wake it\" This seemed so sensitive and gentle even although most would say it is absurd. A lovely poem

And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
