Comment from Ric Myworld
New to poetry and its styles and structures, I have to trust my ears and eyes for what touches me. The God of procreation sets your searching heart adrift on a nightmare journey that turns from lonely, to lunacy. I maybe way off base; however, your words forced me to think. Thanks for the enjoyable poem!

This is excellent Tony, and what a wonderful read it was! Certainly not my favorite style of poetry, but you kept it more than just interesting and I commend how you weaved history into the lines!
Thanks for sharing this, and all the best to you going forward with it!
Warmly...
Jeffrey

This is a well-written Pantoum with a lyrical lilt, and a beautiful tribute to the Greek poet. It is truly a fun read. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of this poet in your author notes.

I like the form of your poem
you capture my attention from the first line to the last.
I could vision someone battling the strong winds and high seas to The Isle of Lesbos.

Masterful, haunting - and written to a brief! You really have a command of the pantoum form. Very impressive work, my friend.

Thanks, Rondeno. It was quite a challenge to start with, then it began to flow. Sometimes just getting started is the hard part!
