Review of Dancing Alone  Open in new Window.
Review by B. Tels Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
GrandpaJim,

"As another dance ends". Apparently it isn't the protagonist's first dance of this kind.

As I reader, I had different emotions: unrequited longing, glimpses of hope, excitement. I see childlike play in "swirls and twirls". A continuous, bittersweet soul dance. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes kinda cool.

A message that I got from it: Better to have danced than not.

Review of Mountain of Love  Open in new Window.

GrandpaJim,

Touching poem. Concise language. Easy to digest but each line is very rich. I see someone walking in nature (literally or not) reflecting on a love for whomever or whatever.

The narrator seems to paint love as a mountain to climb, keeping an overall positive tone.

I enjoyed how the first and last section have an affirmative-mantra like quality to them. Each time I reread, I find something new that resonates with me. A very sweet poem with depth.

Hi Bodhisattwa Parekh,

The first line is a beautiful antithesis. "In the stillness of the night, The shadows dance and play". I love the picture you paint here. Very dynamic.

"A haunting melody, leaving its mark."

The above line reminds me of sitting on the porch at midnight and hearing a chorus of crickets, owls, and cicadas all singing in harmony. It really is stunning how nighttime comes alive.

You bring a joyful element to the darkness of the night. Most people are intimidated by the darkness and seldom talk about its beauty.

I have no criticisms about this poem. It's a great poem. It's almost a love letter to the night. I enjoyed traveling to this magical world of melodic darkness.
