Baptism

2013-06-02
Wonderful poem! Great imagery and a lot of divine sense. As for me, I attend the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I'm now experimenting with writing Church poems, i.e. the poems connected with the teachings and doctrine of a particular Christian Church (LDS, I mean).
And I'm also trying to apply this experience to the development of my own literary concept.
If it's not a secret, which Church do you attend? If you don't wish to give forth this information, you can write me a private message. Anyway, sorry for the question.

Well crafted, a little sad and MAGNIFICENT!


Solemn survival

Great text, a very philosophic one.


The Heart of a Woman

Absolutely wonderful. This poem made tears well up in my eyes. I wish, there'd be more poems like that on Poetbay. The future belongs to poets like you, Amy. The magnificence and spirituality of this poem can hardly be overestimated.

I liked it very much!


Nothing there

2012-03-10
Great imagery, sad and a perfect picture of real sadness and moral devastation.


VICTIM OF MARRIAGE 5

2011-08-20
This poem is topical and burning, because nowadays children, as they grow up, forget about their aged parents and leave them. Great job!


I can(t)

Very wise and actual words.

At the end of your poem you play with the words "joyful" and "joyous", and that's very nice!


See the Light in the Other Window

Occasional rhymes are nicely combined with the unrhymed lines. Good!


Crucifixiation

I think, you should be more polite and avoid swearing.


Frozen Solid (Calin)

2010-07-08
Beautiful language and style! Do you translate from Swedish?


Breakdown (Calin)

2010-07-08
It is pretty good, but the style needs to be improved.


What Do You Want Me To Do

This is a nicely rhymed poem. I enjoyed it!


The Panther (R.M. Rilke)

The whispers are pretty good, I'd say, and it's good, that you read the classic literature.


The Ancient Oaks

2010-07-08
Wonderfully written, good job!


Letting My Mind Fly (poetryslam)

2010-07-08
Again you're swearing!


Emotional Massacre

2010-07-08
By and large, the poem is good, but I think, swearing is unsuitable.


Pain

2010-07-08
Very nice and beautiful rhymes!


Winter Short Poems

2010-07-08
These poems are rather expressive by themselves, each of which is absolutely unique.


Torn Between Two Horses

2010-07-08
This is kind of a philosophic poem, I can read the speculations, which are nicely represented.


Aura

Rich, emotional language!!!

Very nice poem, good imagery, GREAT!!!


The Unbeatable

2010-07-08
This poem is quite informative, rather than artistic, which is a common feature of modern poetry, and prose as well. By and large the poem is nice, and brings pleasure to readers.

A rhythmically organized play of words. Very nice!

Good job, Michel! Your translation is really brilliant, although there are some inaccuraces, which can of course be forgiven. You have chosen a rather difficult, and, I would say, complicated text to translate.
You know, I am a translator myself, I translate Russian, French, and sometimes other authors into English and I also write my original poetry in English. I wish you good luck in your activity.

I like especially this line: "Unfamiliar silence" - very good imagery, but you still need to make your language more expressive. Good luck!
