This poem is quite romantic, sensual, a bit erotic and loving. It whispers an invitation. Very nice

IN THE CITY / EN LA CIUDAD
sorenbarrett said:
Once again Bustillos you have captured a mood, a view, a subculture of workers in the urban area. It is cold amidst so many bodies and lonely in the midst of thousands. A lovely write that I particularly loved in its Spanish form. A fave my friend

FROM THE HEART / DE CORAZON
sorenbarrett said:
Bustillos this poem is speaks of other worlds and to me these are our dreams, day dreams or just thoughts. I find this a lovely poem of how we find peace and innocence there. A wonderful piece

BETWEEN CORDS / ENTRE CORDELES
sorenbarrett said:
Bustillos I prefer that first English translation in that it has more raw power and feeling to it. The second seems more polished but to me in poetry polish is not always the best. The Spanish version is my favorite of all. It packs a punch and has the power of word sound. Loved them all. Very nicely done

BETWEEN CORDS / ENTRE CORDELES
Paul Bell said:
Great title, great poem.
The cords of life when you\'re young seem to go on forever.
Then in later life the cords get tighter and the constraints harder.
Modern life they tell you, everything\'s at your convenience, the robot says.
Maybe too convenient as the rope gets tighter every day.

PARALYZED BULL / DESCORDADO /タコツボ（心の傷）
sorenbarrett said:
Very nice a metaphor of a wounded bull and that fight against the sword. Nicely written it is bloody and comes out of the bull ring. Well done

CUCARACHAS / COCKROACHES
sorenbarrett said:
A most interesting view of the roach and self. There is a feeling of deprecation in this poem and poetry itself. Poems and people are valued by the educated lovers of art and the cockroach has its place too in the ecology of the planet valued by those that understand and value nature beyond the human sphere. Well written it has a depressive feel and sense of helplessness and hopelessness that leaves the reader feeling the desperation of the bug and of people and the art.

IN THE MIST 𝄞

FOG
sorenbarrett said:
A poem with a dark tone that seems to foretell coming doom. There is little hope in this piece with grey skies and portents of violence. Well written

STABBINGS
sorenbarrett said:
There is something inferred in the double spacing of the first copy, the double wording of the second copy title and it being repeated twice. A most interesting metaphor of injury to the heart and soul. Nicely done

GHOSTS
sorenbarrett said:
A beautiful poem that is haunting. Ghosts are today\'s images of yesterdays existence. What was now in shadows that remain. We all have them some haunt and some warm the soul. Some are friendly and others dangerous. Very nicely written it conveys a feeling of resolution over the past. Well done

That Dreamed Love
sorenbarrett said:
Passion the earthly love burns hot and fast. A great poem about this passion of sin that one searches for and finds advertised and at times for sale. Well done.

A sad poem of loss and the past where things were happier. Well written it flows well and takes one back. Nostalgic in a sad way.

Why do I want to say that I already commented on this set of poems today. Is it deja vu or am I in a parallel universe, maybe just lost my mind. Good none the less
