You are indeed a "visual linguist"! There is no doubt in my mind words are buoyant in your imagination and they never remain beyond their expiration date, Rossen. Words float through your mind just as a paper kite floats through the air....and just as Franklin brought us electricity through flying a kite, your words bring a crackling of energy and power to the page. Great analogy used and splendid imagery. Always unique...which is the reason your words are a pleasure to read. Your photographicartwork is wonderful too! Lydi**

this is most creative, and as PJ said, Thank God for Author's notes, as I was baffled too, without the crib notes! Very clever work indeed!

I like that this is something completely different and to be honest glad I had the notes of the author..as I didn't have the foggiest idea what this was about..but reading with knowledge is wonderful..makes perfect sense...don't like poems explained usually but this helped!!! well done

This is a fascinating poem. I love poetry that makes history come alive, particularly when the history still has poignancy today.
Your words are electric in their immediacy. Your use of classical form fits with the antiquated theme. LOved everything in the poem. Posted 13 Years Ago1 of 1 people found this review constructive. |

A very intriguing piece, great play on word... I think we only need to use natural sources to make this world go round.

oo I like how you play with the words - twist up the speed and rhythm - sometimes a rhyme - others not - great choice of words - I love - "plundering themes from leftover dreams" - nice!
