Rowena Velasco August 7, 2025 at 6:47 PM This is an absolute feast for the senses—part poem, part painting, part oceanic dreamscape. The imagery crashes and swirls like waves, carrying myth, color, and emotion all at once. It’s wild, layered, and mesmerizing… like a tide you can’t look away from. Ghairo Daniels August 8, 2025 at 12:15 AM Aah Earth Angel ! Your comment is what I intended for a baptism poem. Too many are hooked into the normal idea of what a baptism is & shy away from any challenging perceptions put forward. If we are to move this Planet into higher consciousness we have to present the new. Hav a beautiful day, dear Teacher/Poet-Sista. X.
