The poem title fits the verse in an excellent fashion. At times we have conflict with our muse who may want to do one thing and us another. Your poem is loaded with effective metaphor and that alone deserves comment. I enjoyed the read. Best wishes for the Holidays.

Very nice.
I like the metaphor you present in the Trojan Verse, an encapsulated hold, protected interior...
I love this line:
"forgetting the light, you will have to interpret the dark"

I seem to remember Trojan is stressed, unstressed and so on.
I like how you write about what your muse does and you are not responsible for it.

The muse is a mighty beast, is he/she not?
Sometimes I don't like him much, other times
I think he must be Hercules. Place the blame
on him/her, who cares so it's in my pen name.
Who cares???

    Thank you for commenting in Trojan Verse. Oh yes, my muse can become quite controversial sometimes. Love it or leave it, sometimes.

Excellent poem my dear friend. It has certainly made think.
These are my favorite lines...

I will blind you with the fierce branding iron
like the deep inner calling of a psalm.

Hugs

This is quite the provocative poem you penned. I love your write, but I'm a little bit afraid at the same time. The wording you used has me enthralled with the prospect of a meaning so deep, that I fear I will not return unscathed.

awesome writye

This is a great poem that seems to speak to those who don't know the power of the Internet. It reminds me of articles I've read of how people get themselves into trouble via email. "Before you hit 'send,' rethink your decision!" That's what this poem seems to be saying on some level. At least, that's how I'm taking it. :)

Writing in FS is usually a no holds barred if you mark correctly the explicit content not suitable for children. Trojan verses are the verses of deceit as in the Trojan horse story. Brilliant write. Poets should heed the advice. As far as the psalms is concerned, readers should use their discretion.Good poem. Needs no changes. Brilliant!

    yes, simply brilliant and even galiant as in a poetic creative variant. Now that should make you smile a bit more. LOL. Brilliant is a good word in The English people's world. better than excellent. Cheers. Richard.
