A New Day Poem by Baharak Barzin

You repeat the phrase A NEW DAY i SEEK and four times te line that follows is a strikingly vivid image which proves by its alien brilliance there is indeed a NEW LIFE out there. The third one - SANDY ANGELS ROCK MY SHORE LANDS - amazes me: it's a totally original picture. And the last two lines in which MOON and SUN are dancing together brings opposites into harmony, . You have fulfilled an important poetic task - to create through language an entirely new, untouched Land of the Imagination. You've inspired me to write a similar poem of Imaginative FREEDOM! But this one is a sterling example of example of such creativity.

I love the cleverly phrased contradictions of ordinary reality as in the last three lines. They alert us that this is indeed A NEW DAY so expect things will be wildly different, eg. at night you see a mysterious man dancing with the sun! And moonlight covering souls is a double revelation.All four of these where/when clauses change reality just enough to be startling but not to make the scene frightening or alien. I believe the purpose is to show a new plane of reality, of emotional experience to which you are already relating. The humdrum of life has been transformed into something excitingly new. Let's start exploring! !
