Exquisite

sorenbarrett

How sweet the pain

How it redeems the soul

Nepenthe for the brain

It pays Charon’s toll

  • L. B. Mek

    Grecian myth and Homer, wisdom
    alive and well!
    brilliantly, reimagined
    and succinctly worded
    yet, deep with nuanced
    commentary,
    on our despairingly mythological, endless
    'age of anxiety'
    and that, escapism via
    Hennessey or Valium induced
    warped reality
    of nihilistically, grim:
    progressive modernity
    (just a Brilliant execution!
    thanks for sharing)

    Thank you for your comment pregnant with imagery and literary knowledge, A far greater poetic response than the poem itself.
