| = 'disguise in disguise' | Vasilescu Alvin Bastian [22.Jun.05 19:13] |
| 'disguise in disguise'...I liked this part, it has many meanings. As for the entire poem,...well structured, solid idea, disguised here in there, because I do not understand completely some of the sentences, but...good. Well done! Best wishes! ...Bastian... | |

| We all are "disguises in disguise",we all wear masks.This is the cruel truth,this is what society has done to us.Try to describe the real you without describing any of the masks you wear!Can you?!I guess the first time we all could do this is after we die...We're all under cover,even when we think we're not!Just think about it! Best wishes, Oana | |
| = Delving into us: Johanne, Bastian, Oana | Edilberto González Trejos [24.Jun.05 02:05] |
| I wrote this text when I was 16, I clearly remember it was in February, 1988. I have submtitted this text before and it has always been given a good review, I dpn´t know why. What I can say is that I had this "moment of lucidity" at age 16 and I wrote 3 very good "psychollogical poems" about the inner realms over an intense desire to know what was inside people´s will & soul. Johanne, looking back I can say I´m pretty much "at-one´d" with this poem. Bastian, I was a lot into Joyce when I was a teenager, so I played with words a lot, I also played with the symbols and included mentions to the Dictatorship of NORIEGA, an awful era for us Panamanians. Oana, yeah, we all have masks somehow and this poem was like an attempt and a challenge to delve and explore inside ourselves... Spanish Poet ANTONIO MACHADO said "when I talk about you, my dear, it´s not about you, it´s about me"... Just thinking.... Thanks a lot for your precious feedback SONGO | |
| = a moment, still | Sigartau Alex [25.Jul.05 02:37] |
| i won't deny the fact that this text has its share of good moments but moments they remain. allthough the intention is both naive and admirable, the images that you work with are so overused it makes me wanna fall asleep. | |
| = What is the point? | Edilberto González Trejos [25.Jul.05 05:51] |
| ALEX, I wrote this 1 when I was 16. I`m 33 right now. Sleeping is a good option, so I see no problem on that. What is the exact point on your comments? I even see some racist stuff. Take care SONGO | |
