looking into glass


     their gulf stretches in a chalice
                 with a bouquet looking into glass

Dear Paige, Congrats on POTD! I love this, so simple, yet it really lingers. That image of the Gulf in a chalice with a bouquet… wow, it sticks with you. Blessings, Dear Paige, Daniel

Your poem is enigmatic and elegant—like a reflection caught mid-thought. The image of a gulf stretching in a chalice evokes distance wrapped in beauty, and the bouquet adds a layer of quiet longing. It’s abstract, haunting, and beautifully restrained.

A rose, in any environment, would smell as sweet, poses with fellow roses, there to greet. Congrats on your POTD!

That is stunning! uplifting and motivating. Continuity and resilience are both needed. I too got both the significance and the suggestion that hinder within.

Dear Paige, your imagery is beautiful and intriguing.. I feel opposite forces at work that balance each other in their intensity.. emotions feel distant yet introspective. The "bouquet" giving hope of bridging the divide. Warmest wishes, my gifted poet friend.. ~Susan
