Roses Are On Fire Comments

Has a surreal visual power to it- I can almost see a painting of rivers made out of stars and beds made out of roses and of course those Roses on fire. Great sense of place and imagination….enjoyed!

The imagery of this work is rich and vivid. Very imaginative and creative; a wide palette of intriguing visuals. Thank you!

I like this stanza: Waiting for its roots to cleave Cut a blade of green corn But I'm like a phoenix born Without any feathers Looking lost, mystified back at you. a mystic, seducing poem- voted 10.

A beautiful poem Mark.Congratulations on being member of the day Col Muhammad Khalid Khan

Congrats on poem of the day! What flowing imagery. The writing starts out beautiful and free and then closes in on choking quicksand. The idea of quicksand filling the chambers of the sky...filling my life....I no longer remember, how once I could cry... very sad. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
