the only light

Reviews

[Soren]

Such a classical feel it gives the sense of Greek poetry I hear Homer here. Music is its own healing source. Particularly loved the last three lines
"You are the only light
whose brilliance breaks
Hades' brutal shackles"
Powerful and so poetic.

Thanks Soren! Found out that waxing metaphorical does bring on the classic tone. Perhaps more readily recognised due to familiarity and “poetic ‘muscle’” memory. Just an aside there. Thanks again.

Those final three lines are quite something Freds. It’s good to know that light has the upper hand.

Thanks Chris; a long, long time ago someone once said that all’s well with a poem that ends well!

That’s really good to know. The impact of what we write can and does affect and stay with their readers.
