A marvelous composition, true phoenix needs its ashes to rebuilt...a thought provoking craft, interwoven with zeal...10

Yet another one of yours for my list of favourites Mary. This is a deeply provocative piece and will stay with the reader as a form of recurrent analysis-theme. Powerful and unforgettable.

Mary, this is utterly stunning: depth of thought superbly expressed: it should be compulsory for A level (I'll make sure my students read it) & will repay being mulled over carefully. Thank you.

On of the best philosophical poems I have read. GW62

And how out of the ashes and destruction springs the act of creation...Very lovely. Thanks

This is truely wonderful Mary. You return to the original use of the sonnet: to project a philisophical debate. It is a real joy to see such a disciplned mind at work. If I continue I will only be accused of hyperbole.
