Gorgeous poetry. Gianfranco Aurilio writes verse a cut above your average poet, he has a deceptively simple style that gently reveals profound meaning and perception.

Jathon Delsy, Google +, “Night of love”
For me, you are one of the very best poets on the internet, with your deceptively simple style that is really a fully mature totally clear and lucid poetical expression.

Michael Valdez Google + "Soldier of war"
Very honourable and touching poem +Gianfranco Aurilio I can feel the longing of the child to which the idea of memorializing his father through the tree's leaves which for me symbolic of family, genealogy To pluck a leaf the essence of the memory and place it under a pillow is as if a wish also not only that but to carry on in dreams. Excellent work! ~Michael

Lovely ode to the turn of the seasons! they can just as human as we are! I love the poem!
Gianfranco Aurilio
Yes, Krishna. Exactly: "as human as we are". I like writing short fairytales in verses, giving life to anything. This concept of giving life to anything is, actually, my philosophy of life and it comes from the great sense of respect that I have for everything. Treating a piece of furniture, a rock, a cloth as the were humans, that is with respect, is a way of nurturing the concept of love that our world too often ignores. Thank you for your comment.

Hey man. This is really good stuff right here. Lovely poetry for real for real. It is hard to pick a favorite line. The whole thing fits together seamlessly. I will say though that I really enjoyed it all, but the last line in particular I loved. Keep it up.
Judy Schwartz-Naber Google + poem "Unforgettable"
You are an accomplished artist. The picture is gorgeous. Your poetry is touching and moving....even translated. Thank you so much for sharing.
Angelo Baiunco Google+ poesia "Intolleranza". Questi sono tra i versi più intensi, più intimamente immediati e alti che abbia letto dalla tua sensibilità. Non mi soffermo sulla loro thésis, che condivido tra l'altro e che sostengo (c'è una grande terribile verità in quella coppia di versi che sono il v. 3 e v.4).
Ma quel che mi preme far notare è l'azione profondamente lirica dell'attesa, quasi un'immolazione d'amore...
E poi quel "diventare una stella" che lo sublima nella stessa poesia e attraverso di essa. Nella poesia antica greco-ellenistica se ne cantò attraverso il catasterismo...
E... hai ragione: le stelle non si pongono problemi di sorta in fatto di amore e di amori. Si amano tra stelle. E' questo che conta.

Angelo Baiunco Google +, poesia "Nelle notti"
Un interessante esercizio espressivo. L'uso dell'enjambement in poesia ha radici classiche. Qui è in funzione modernamente, come dire... "climizzante".
Crea una certa atmosfera irreale e al tempo stesso densa. Amo le espressività del simultaneo in poesia; così come la polidimensionalità, sia delle parole che del dettato poetico. Molte mie ricerche si muovono in tal senso... Credo che ogni poesia debba essere, anche nel suo piccolo, un evento innanzitutto letterario; deve cioè cercare di indagare fino a che punto può essere espressiva questa benedetta lingua italiana che abbiamo e che usiamo.
Nei tuoi versi  c'è proprio questo tentativo. I miei complimenti!
