Tango in Durango
sorenbarrett said:
Easily a song and I can hear the melody a happy and raucous one at that one that one can not sit out for the feet are tapping indeed. This one reset my mood and anything that can do that deserves a fave.

Reminds of when pubs were pubs and not sports bar and eateries, when you sit at the bar and talk, there would always be an older man in the corner who could entertain you all night with his tales, enjoyed the read

Tony this poem has a rambling feel as if it were a the life of one making their way through the world amidst its travails and now time worn and travel tattered they deserve their accolades and dues. It has the feel of a familiar bar where the clientele are all familiar and the atmosphere is friendly. Nicely written in good rhyme and meter it carries a fave from me

A lovely write I sense of how we travel the seas of life, some return back home and some do not. Loves are gained and some are left behind and some are unable to return home as they have passed, intriguing and enjoyable read

Fishers of Men
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Tony, what a beautifully woven piece. The rhythm holds steady like the sea itself...gentle, lyrical, and rich with quiet sorrow. That final turn doesn’t break the tone...it deepens it. A haunting, graceful tribute. 🌹👏

Tony I grasp deeper meaning in this poem of fishers and the sea. Like Melville there lies more beneath and one wonders if all of us as fishers, some return home and others not, leaving loves behind. A lovely poem well set and worded carries in its lines meaning deeper than the sea on which some lives are lost and others rejoice.

I am one of life\'s lost romantics and I\'ve never been to see this magnificent marble love hut, made of pure marble but from your poem I\'d say I\'ve seen it in all its pride and glory. A superb dedication to one of the most gracious palace\'s ever to grace earth. Another humbling read. Thank you. 🌹

Tristan Robert Lange said:
And good morning to thee, my dear Tony. What a lovely poem to wake up to and read. The songbirds music has perked my ears and lifted my heart, and for that, I am grateful (unlike Juliet who hoped for the nightingale...lol). Wonderful, wonderful job, and a gloriously beautiful day to you, my friend.🌹👏

Tony this brings back memories of childhood, times carefree, Clean air, early morn on fields dirt trails, ant hills and grasshoppers in the foxtails. An old apricot tree that belonged to no one but us kids where we parked our tree house. I hear that same lark now too but it brings back those memories. Thanks for the memories Tony

The Taj Mahal
Friendship said:
Your poem celebrates the Taj Mahal as an enduring symbol of love and loss, reflecting the deep emotional bond between Shah Jahan and his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It explores themes of love, grief, and the transcendent beauty of art that memorializes these sentiments. The poet honors the legacy of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, exploring how art and architecture can encapsulate profound human emotions and experiences, as well as the universal themes of love, loss, and remembrance. Very well written, Tony.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Tony, this is a sculpted homage in its own right...each stanza as deliberate as a carved motif. I had the gift of standing before the Taj years ago...and no photo, no lecture, no postcard ever came close. But this poem? It touches it...the reverence, the ache, the symmetry of sorrow.
Part of me kept waiting, though...for the imprisoned king...imprisoned by his power hungry son. For that final image...Shah Jahan peering out from Agra Fort (which I got to visit too), captive to the very love he immortalized. All he could do is look out his window upon his love from afar. So tragic. Still, what you’ve captured here is radiant. You brought marble to breath. 🌹👏 A most magnificent poem.

Cheeky Missy said:
My word!!! Wow. I love, love, love your classic style in rhythmic rhyming taking my hand as we traipse along, waltzing down the page, revealing secrets. I never realized the Taj Mahal was a Romeo and Juliet monument. Do we forever glorify the dead?! Erect monuments to destruction? Gorgeously rendered with exquisite imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

A fitting tribute to a magnificent wonder. A temple, a tomb for mortal flesh but a monument of a love undying. The poem as carefully and masterfully crafted as the edifice shines in its own beauty. Very nicely done Tony another fave
