Tranquilo (Tranquil) Comments

Your sensuous language not only gives me a vivid experience of COLORS folding and unfolding, it also casts a spell that put me in a mental drowse, made me surrender to inactivity, and feel tranquilo is the best possible state of being. I allowed myself to come close to the state of the LOTOS-EATERS in Tennyson's poem, but there is a profound difference: The LOTOS-EATERS willingly ate a drug which robbed them of their volition; I surrendered to a spell created by words that does not cancel volition. I entered a unique poetic space, was washed and refreshed, then left it behind and reentered our common reality, with tendrils of tranquilo lingering in my mind. I'll call this Nika's Peach Therapy.

Colour is a vital element in verse and you handle it like a true artist. This is a very fine poem, Nika, and once again another of your poems is going into my favourites' list. One day I'll make it a Nika day! I can read Spanish but have never tried to write a poem in it, though I write quite a bit in French. Love Spanish poetry tho especially Lorca
