redbrick commented on: Yet [*/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Leadings Toward Stars; They Called Upon Hosea's Words by S74r5p4r3d 1 hour 1 sec ago
In the end, this is a poem: In the end, this is a poem about hearing; what we permit ourselves to hear, whom we trust, and where real revelation lies. It challenges us: turn off the lectures, silence the grandstanding, and listen instead for the voice that has echoed across millennia, calling both stargazers and stumblers back to earth’s own deep counsel.

redbrick commented on: The Becoming by Savvart 1 day 2 hours ago
This piece breathes like an: This piece breathes like an old soul in a new body: reflective, bold, and untethered by shame. It’s the kind of poem that doesn’t just speak; it listens to its own evolution. The imagery—“words I loosed like doves in flame,” “bone is bone,” “wisdom sighs” is a stunning collision of vulnerability and assertion. There's grace in the speaker's permission to shift, and strength in the refusal to wear “a doubled face.” The final stanzas especially carry a quiet defiance against judgment, echoing something almost sacred: the right to change, not as a flaw but as a virtue. This isn't just a poem about growth; it’s about earned authenticity; the messy, beautiful process of becoming. What resonates most is that gentle command: “So let me change, and let it be, / A hymn to our humanity.” It doesn’t beg for understanding. It asserts that transformation is not betrayal.

Dear StarSpared, that's such: Dear StarSpared, that's such a generous and beautifully phrased comment. It carries the kind of warmth that could light up a library! To imagine all the world’s tongues gathered and still coming up short in praise… that’s poetry in itself. I’ll take it as a quiet reminder that expression isn't just about vocabulary:it’s about resonance, rhythm, and emotional truth. And if this poem spoke to you in that way, then it has done more than words alone could ever manage. Thank you. Your response is a poem in disguise.

  All at once this poem leans:   All at once this poem leans into reflection, tension, and quiet trepidation, like an echo spoken softly but firmly into the same cathedral air and as quickly as an exhaled breath, the offered thought disappeard into our own.  Brings to mind a "Stand by Me" experience we had one summer just before middle schoool started. Hope it shall be read in like spirit.

I read somewhere that this: I read somewhere that this planet hosts several thousand documentable languages.  If I knew them all, I still would not have sufficient words to praise the verbal artistry of your Poetry.
