Why Still Blue is the World
sorenbarrett said:
A masterpiece that I must say leaves sadness and a longing feeling. Sad that this must be the closed door to others that might have been. The use of mythology and past poets is brilliant but the feel remains cold and biting. It reveals knowledge of poetry and myth that melt in the spring of new poets and history. These words will remain in my mind as a fave

Tying physics with poetry is sublime and satisfying in that all of nature is a poem a painting or song and in its vibrations energy in all of its spectrums sings. All we need do is open our eyes, ears and mind to see, hear and know it. Well written with great history images and poetic symbolic ties that like the stones pull us down to the words that we use to communicate such thoughts. Deserving of a fave.

Love\'s Iliad
sorenbarrett said:
Greek myths like Melvil\'s Moby Dick are metaphors that reach the archetypes of the soul left after tens of thousands of years they resurrect in poems pulling at heart strings invisible to the mind. Your poem so masterfully crafted weaves these sagas and myths into meaning and leaves the reader awestruck and feeling something long buried unidentifyable but real. Very nicely done and deserving of a fave.
