Sadness of the Siren
Samantha Underhill
- The
- poetry
- of
- Samantha
- Underhill
- is
- haunting,
- darkly
- beautiful,
- and
- melancholic.Follow
- her
- to
- the
- deep
- on
- an
- epic
- journey
- of
- honesty
- and
- vulnerability,
- where
- feelings
- and
- self-perceptions
- are
- artistically
- expressed
- in
- classic
- verse.Naked
- truths
- of
- inward
- aching,
- reflect
- the
- muddled
- mixing
- of
- fear
- and
- anger
- within
- the
- role
- she
- has
- placed
- upon
- herself.Hidden
- beneath
- the
- veneer
- of
- Greek
- mythology,
- lie
- the
- shapes
- and
- forms
- of
- loneliness,
- regret,
- ostracization,
- and
- longing
- desire
- for
- love
- and
- acceptance.Painted
- images
- of
- injustice,
- misperceptions,
- and
- judgment
- in
- the
- Siren,
- she
- reveals
- a
- dichotic
- world,
- perched
- on
- the
- cusp
- betwixt
- isolation
- and
- inclusion.Samantha
- Underhill's
- lyrical
- dark
- verses
- in
- Sadness
- of
- the
- Siren
- are
- a
- cautionary
- tale,
- plea,
- and
- warning,
- all
- in
- one breath.
