Rise of the Dragon
Dan Williams said:
Conjures images easy to imagine in reality, nearly alive. The Dragon is symbolic of so many things. \"To defeat the darkness
One must find the light from within\" is timeless wisdom. Nicely done.

Yes, you had a long walk - up the garden path, as they say - and back again! You tipsy there?
Or....I knows why - you heard a glug, then fainted! lol.

I wonder it this is how one might feel expecting a resurrection at death and finding that there is no heaven or hell just dirt in one\'s grave. A solid write Tristan.

Well written . Tristan, your poem revolves around the poet\'s experience of stepping into a new day, the initial joy of life, followed by a sudden confrontation with feelings of despair and disconnection. The imagery of the sun and the earth symbolizes hope and grounding, respectively.

Tristan, this is so very Dante Alighieri, it speaks of Heaven and Hell in a subtle yet extraordinary way. There is excitement and vision it\'s truly wonderful. 🌹

Fascinated with the concept. Light from the view of a photon is immortal having no beginning and no end it has always been existing before the big bang as a singularity it lives without time. Being everywhere at once it is omnipresent. In religious terms it is an angel of light it is the word and as a poet then the written word is light to enlighten and thereby knowledge. so the dragon enters. A poem full of meaning.

I know this is about looking into a well, always the temptation to look and explore deeper, and clearly this well isnt well and it would be wise to avoid, but when reading this I couldn\'t help thinking it\'s looking into one\'s own soul, and how it has become tainted over time. Life\'s actions situations have darkened it overtime, that it now is now feeling unwell and looking in some way to find the right medicine, loved the write,

\"All hell is bound inward.\" Great line, Tristan. It\'s like our senses reach outward and then pull the impressions inward. Insatiably.

This could be the start of Trumps first term. Sleepy Joe\'s missed term, heading back to Trumps next term fixing the world, not forgetting the blatent overlooking of the prestigious Nobel prize for the man who saved the world, turned water into wine, fought with the Romans, and was Jesus\'s right hand man.
State of the union speech was fun.

Alliteration stands out to me in this poem Tristan, It is a carnival of horror a mirror gallery where double alliterations and triple occur in the first, second and third stanzas stanza as if reflected somehow in a distorted hall of mirrors. There are further reflections in the last two stanzas. Very creative my friend

there\'s something about them isn\'t there .. simultaneously compelling and constraining .. something that draws one forward to look deeply and darkly down into the depths .. I\'ve got two, each one distinctly different but that engender the same feelings .. I rarely drink from them these days but again, for different reasons 🖤🖤🖤🐦⬛🐦⬛🐈⬛🖤.. 😎👍

Well written. Your poem explores the dual nature of temptation and the allure of the unknown, juxtaposing the inviting exterior of the well with the ominous potential of what lies within. It raises questions about choices, the nature of desire, and the consequences of delving into dark or hidden aspects of life. The well is located in a dark wood, symbolizing a point of decision or temptation. The well represents both a source of intrigue and a potential danger, inviting the reader to reflect on the nature of desire and the risks associated with pursuing the unknown. aims to provoke thought about the nature of desire, the allure of the unknown, and the choices one faces when confronted with temptation.

A most metaphoric write I believe (but could be wrong) A well that provides life giving water tainted (it is unwell). This has to be deliberate wording. What is unwell but life giving water turned to water that takes life. A facade of what it is supposed to be left to choice, stay out or fall in. Falling in leads to illness. Nicely done Tristan.

I like the American way of, you pop out for a pint of milk and a shotgun, and then you amble off to see if there\'s a tariff on shotguns, and when you find out there is, you go mad. It\'s all hitting the fan now, lawyers are on standby, the courts will be busy for years now.

A shotgun and a wide pattern, gas well depending on if liquid literal or gaseous which all political words carry it can be explosive. Shot dead guilt by association? Or is it the case is dead? Epstein they say is dead. My mind wanders. Another short that in the public mind is not so short but soon will fade just as Watergate, JFK assassination, the trade towers fade, let alone Indian massacres and the holocaust. Well done my friend

Well written. Your poem touches upon feelings of frustration, emotional burden, and a search for clarity in relationships and faith. It conveys a deep sense of loss and sorrow, particularly highlighted through the imagery of a heart that is \"rent\" or torn, suggesting a spiritual and emotional crisis.
