Enigma

Enigma

Balancing temptation

Essentials

Black and blue horizonal

arterial bloodlines

Death has become the mentor.

no more interesting than melted ice cream.


Enigma

Light

Beams of gradification

sweat pours from the heart

blood red inuendo

Texture becomes student

mourning too is reversed

Day breaks into a song


Enigma

As silence

Solitude

Beginning again

Blood red innuendo - a lot of emotion and harsh imagery in that phrase. I don't know if the poem is simply about imagery, creating tactile feelings, but I don't understand it - and if that is the point of the "enigma" - being confused about the poem itself - maybe there is a way to make tha more clear (as oddly opposed to perhaps the point of the poem that may sound)...thanks - Erin

For me this poem creates a pessimistic mood, it is sad, but powerful.

"Texture becomes student" for some reason.... I REALLY liked that line. The poem itself was very good, reminds me of the randomness-but-some-what-understandable type of writing I have.

I also have no idea what this is about. But I like it.

The staccato rhythm gives me an uneasy feel & the confusing images are wonderfully detailed ending in the final four lines, which feel like some kind of resolution.

Maybe I'm just not deep enough...

This is superb. It's really powerful, creating so many images in the mind and the rhythms create a mood to flow on as well.

I have no clue what this is about, but it seems like it is highly accessible for a multitude of different possibilities. Any enigma in someone's mind can be connected to this poem. I first connected it to that of your profile picture of the whales. Either way, I really love this poem!
