A strong poem of grit and determination, perseverance and toughness. The continued reoccurring line rhymes gave the added impression of perseverance. Nicely done Tristan

Delightful. Nothing like the absolute winner in the zombie apocalypse, the epitome of their essence delineated in a trice so beautifully. Excellently rendered with lovely imagery and a fitly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Breaking from Babylon
Tony Grannell said:

\"I is ready\", indeed. A call to self in this rather unique passage of exuberant poetry. Expressed with an intellectual flair for language and poetic devices. I love this poem and everything about it. Very well done to be sure.

Kind regards,
Tony.

Breaking from Babylon
orchidee said:

Me again - lol. I know an uplifting Chorus on part of Psalm 137 - not concerning vengeance on enemies though. Erm, that\'s no reason to sing endless \'Choruses\' about 500 times in one go. Seems like about 500 times sometimes. lol.

Breaking from Babylon
orchidee said:

I will be fussy! Slightly ungrammatical - \'I is ready\'?! Though probably said that way by some dialects in part of the UK.
Meanwhile - \'I be writing me next poem!\' lol.

Breaking from Babylon
sorenbarrett said:

I like how you used the personal pronoun I. Powerful and direct it sings out against oppression. Babylon the symbol of debauchery and evil much like Sodom is well used in this poem. Nicely phrased and worded it carries the reader along to the end.

sorenbarrett said:

How frequently our initial perceptions are inaccurate and need revision. A great poem about jumping to conclusions. A most important point since first impressions are often hard to break.

Strong, logical, philosophical and poetic quite a bunch in one short passage. A lovely bouquet of fragrance that smells of the truth. Loved it a definite Fave

Tristan many complain but few do anything. Those in power have no interest in change and would give us an artificial light that everything is all right. The last line is quite pertinent (and what now?)

There\'s three -umbras thingys, I discovered. Dunno what they are exactly, so I will stop before I dig myself into a hole and become a jibbering wreck! lol.

the penumbral revelation
sorenbarrett said:

How appropriate for the day. This poem through the mouths of ancient Greeks to Ecclesiastes archetypes and bible images appear. A fun use of space in this text adds flavor. Very nicely don my friend.
