Tristan Robert Lange said:
Carlos, what a beautiful celebration of emotional release. Cinema, dreaming, tears, and weather all flow together until sorrow becomes cleansing rather than shameful. Absolutely loved this, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This poem carries a quiet, resilient philosophy: keep moving, accept the falls, rise again, and trust that tomorrow gives us another chance.

What a lovely piece, Carlos. There’s faith, resilience, and a grounded acceptance that stumbling is part of the journey...but so is getting back up and continuing on. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A wonderful attitude expressed in this write my friend. One step at a time we proceed into the future and life itself. There may be a stumble or two but we walk onward.

UNTIL THE END / HASTA EL FINAL
Doggerel Dave said:
In terms of humanity I, despite many indications to the contrary, hope this is so, because as you allude to in your neat disciplined piece, there are pockets of potential. My view is more pessimistic, but I would gladly convert if just a little of your prediction were to be revealed.

What a beautiful reflection, Carlos. The fading lights and changing stages carry both sadness and hope...one curtain falls, another rises, and life keeps finding new voices to fill the theater. Deeply moving, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THE PIT
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a powerful poem, Carlos. The walls keep closing in while the abyss itself grows larger…a grim image of lives being steadily stripped of space, dignity, and hope. This one leaves a chill behind, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There is a feeling of imminent terror and lack of control in this poem. The assumption is that they refers to society, technology, an evolving world. Nicely written my friend

Nicely written. Your poem conveys feelings of hopelessness as it describes a relentless, advancing force (the sea) that represents the overwhelming challenges and dangers in life.

My little Paris.

London in the sixties and seventies felt much like that. However Paris... Wish I had spent more time.
Thanks for the evocation.

This poem holds a melancholy tied to reflections of the past where all things seemed possible compared to the present where it feels that possibilities have ended in dead ends. Nicely written Carlos

A RECESS / UN RECESO
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What an uplifting piece, Carlos! The pause becomes a place of healing, perspective, and renewed courage...not an escape from living, but a way of returning to it more fully. Wonderful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A RECESS / UN RECESO
sorenbarrett said:
The body knows the need for a break. When industry required brutal work hours they found that giving breaks increased production. It was not out of compassion that breaks were instituted but out of greed itself. Recess as well in school increases the ability to attend and retain information. Again not out of compassion but desire for children to retain more recess is in place. Well written Carlos

What a wonderful point of view and so true. I would take it further and say it is a new poem for everyone that reads it for their own experience shapes its translation. Nicely written and the idea itself gets a fave

My friend, this is fierce. It has that scorched, confrontational energy of watching people willingly submit themselves to whatever trend, pressure, or industry tells them they are not enough. Strong piece, Carlos. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The river of life / EL RIO DE LA VIDA
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Carlos, I connect deeply with this kind of faith...one that leaves room for stumbling, learning, and getting back up again. Y sinceramente, me gusta más la versión en español, aunque ambas son perfectamente claras. Hay algo en la poesía del español que capta esto mejor de lo que podría hacerlo el inglés. Y me gustan todos los colores! Beautiful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Freedom carries a heavy burden, that of responsibility. Be what you wish to be nothing more nothing less. But when you do carry the responsibility of owning it. Well written my friend.

PSYCHEDELIC
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this feels like a warm little escape hatch from the heaviness of life. There is such an openhearted generosity in it...a real desire to give someone a moment of peace, affection, and relief. Beautiful piece, Carlos. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
