More About Me

What I want you to know about me...

The name I use here and sign to my poems going forward is Similisticist, which I have written in Leet Code as my user name. The name evolved from the handle, Starwatcher, which I received on July 10th, 1976. It is inspired by four Biblical metaphors or similes: Revelation 22:16 (foremost), Matthew 2:1, Philippians 2:15, 2 Peter 1:19; as well as Sirach 43:9-10. Just as our Lord identifies with a star in Revelation 22:16, so His Blessed Mother is called Stella Maris or Star of the Sea. Furthermore, the screen name also alludes to that Friday night/Saturday morning in July, 1974, when the Lord called me to leave my bed and step outside to gaze upon His stars; cf. Sirach 43:9-10.

As of now, 1-11-25 some of the recent poems are signed with several a failed screen names. I am presently removing those: some time is required for this.
