Childhood...( Inspired By Dylan Thomas)
Friendship said:
Beautifully done, my friend. The poem revolves around the innocence, beauty, and wonder of childhood, contrasting them with the limitations and complexities of adulthood. The poet encompasses the perception of childhood as a magical, expansive time filled with joy, possibilities, and a deep connection to nature, ultimately lamenting the loss of this purity and freedom as one matures.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dominic, this is a luminous meditation on memory and time. The imagery moves from wonder to distance with such patience, letting childhood remain sacred even as it recedes. The final turn toward limits lands softly, but powerfully. Very well done and a fave, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Beautifully worded this poem brings back childhood innocence to an adult world through the eyes of memory of one\'s own past days and the observation of small children eyes new to the world. A lovely piece Dominic that calls out to a blood stained world to look back to better times. A fave

The feeling I get from this poem is woven of two principle threads, night and nature that form the magical fabric of an enchanted feeling in this work. Well done Dominic

Dominic, this is sharp and deeply reflective. The consumer imagery builds like a slow indictment, but the real punch comes when you turn the mirror back on all of us. “And I” lands with brutal honesty. Thoughtful, restrained, and very effective. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It is the poetic wording of images and metaphor that adorn this pet peeve of mine about the glitter of modern society that gets the fave on this one. Very nicely crafted in such a smooth plastic version so fitting for the subject matter. Well done

Sundazed & Snowblind: (Inspired by the Cocteau Twins)

Here the beauty of reality combines with the fantasy of elves and yet seasons still come and go and the process of aging occurs. Loss with age casts a sad shadow one of melancholy and nostalgia. Well written Dominic

This poem conveys the feelings blended in senses. it is as exquisite as being love struck and vivid as an acid trip and as joyful as a child at Christmas. It overflows with a blend of sensations. With good flow it pours off the page. Well done Dominic and a fave

This poetic set of tercets is spiritual in nature evoking a blessing on those that listen. It is a prayer of peace and well being nicely written.

A fine write D. Some versions have \'The darkness has not comprehended the light\' - not understood it? can\'t overcome it?

Musings About Mortality
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dominic, this feels heavy with compassion. The fragility you name settles quietly, and the ache for mercy and healing runs through every line. It stayed with me. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This seems a quest for the holy grail and that philosopher\'s stone is not to be found. Instead lead must remain lead no gold today and the reality of natural laws prevail over the magic of alchemy. Well done Dominic

Dominic, the image of car lights punctuating the rain really holds this together. That small visual keeps the whole poem grounded while the mood deepens around it. Subtle and effective. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

All hail Monet. I like the Pre Raphaelites and Vermeer but - Monet is such grace to the eyes also. A fine Poem.

There is a sense of the familiar in the painting itself and this poem emphasizes the colors used and the brush strokes that bring it to life. A most descriptive poem. Well done
