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 work has reached the exceptional level

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!
