The Poet's Truth Comments

Just went through this lovely penning. Though I am not abreast with Mr. Blok, but knowing this I pay my respect for his love for poetry and I fully agree with the ideas you mentioned here for up keeping the poetry's quality onward. Thanks for sharing the same.

Enjoyed this excellent piece of poetry with its dramatic language. The endurance and perseverance is what makes a hero stand out among us. He remains whole when we are shattered and fragmented. In some ways this is the journey that each and every person knows and walks upon. In creative field it becomes even more of a challenge. Thanks for sharing.

An interesting tribute. I recognize the qualities you ascribe to him and understand how such a man can be both despised and revered.

it is so dynamic poem, really as a flash, 1) this part is probably about the last year of his life when he said he forgot how to write poems. 2) as an answer to the first part - it show probably your own (or Blok's) vision of poetry's genesis inside the poet; s soul. it is close to Akhmatova words - she also connected poetry's roots to common things. (it is totally alien to me f.e., because I never connect poetry with just matter things. For me it is also retrospection - or an answer to some emotional question, but never based on things) 3) in this part you show that he was broken by new powers, hunger, ets broken physically, but not in spirit! Blok was sofisticated and like enigma to many, but attractive as a magnite. Since our saint Nectariy Optinsky said Blok is in Paradise - we have a true right to pray for him and wait his own much stronger pray in return from up there! Thank you, Daniel!

Remaining absent for poems is so sad but wisely expressed deep emotion here is very interesting definitely. Soul is extended so far wisely. Nice and wise poem shared...10

I don't know who Alexander Blok was but, this very valiant and dramatic poem speaks of his total immersion in the poetic world in a most desperate yet admirable way! Like a volcano whose lava overflows, the poem does the same strongly crushing everything in its path, absorbing the reader completely. Exceptional work!
