Starward commented on: Never Fails To Amaze Me by J-C4113D 1 year 14 weeks* ago* First, let me say openly that: First, let me say openly that my delay in responding to this comment must make me look like the biggest fool on PostPoems, and I sincerely apologize to you, Patricia, and to all of PostPoems for appearing to be not only neglectful but also disresecptful and discourteous . . . after writing an essay about the community spirit of PostPoems. I am sure this has made me look like quite the idiot, and I ask for your forgiveness and pardon. In your comment, perceptive as usual, you have validated the point I have tried to make. But again, my failure to respond in a timely manner has basically taken the wind out of the sails of this essay, and I have appeared to be the biggest hypocrite. This was not intentional and I am very, very embarrassed. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Time by SSmoothie 1 year 14 weeks* ago* An artfully conceived and: An artfully conceived and constructed little package of movement, poignancy and an inevitable end. You packed all the dizzying, unstoppable, astounding drama into four lines: four steps, cunningly balanced and on fire. Amazing stuff! Loving it! [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Time by SSmoothie 1 year 14 weeks* ago* The way the poem is formatted: The way the poem is formatted on the screen looks like waves of that endless marching, reaching further and further toward the goal stated in the last line. This reminds me of some of the ancient Greek poems that were shaped like altars, or flower vases, or other objects. You have written an excellent poem with a great format. [ go to comment ]

Teytonon commented on: Victrolas And Creaking Bones by Beatnik1979 1 year 14 weeks* ago* Your comment I think I understand how it’s relatin’..: Your comment I think I understand how it's relatin' To the type of country we find ourselves in the state in While those on the right are rampin' up the hatin' The President seems satisfied, he's Biden his time Well, I feel it should be a crime For the future of the entire nation Stop the self-admiration and adoration Start legislating and regulating Your isolating is so frustrating You may as well be masturbating. Keep up the good work! Great job! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Never Fails To Amaze Me by J-C4113D 1 year 14 weeks* ago* I have, at times,: I have, at times, unintentionally failed to acknowledge comments, but I feel the way you do about the simple politeness, the consideration, of a response that takes far less time to write than the poem itself. But that's just me. Others are welcome to their opinions on this because there's no hard and fast rule, and I can't judge their circumstances, but, personally, I can't shake that sense of etiquette—just as it would be very awkward and rude to ignore someone who complimented me to my face. When I first started posting here I did only want an archive for my poems, and I was surprised to find out that people were actually interested in my work and leaving comments on poems I didn't consider quite polished or complete. Then I discovered that this site has a feature that allows me to post privately. Other sites also allow members to keep a private archive of their poems or to disable comments. I have quite a number of poems in my private stash that, for one reason or another, I don't want to share or I don't want comments on. But once I hit that "save" button, I feel that I'm inviting people into my work and if they take the time to read and express their thoughts, I'll take less than a minute to thank them and, most often, take a look at what they have going on at their page. At this point I'm going to offer a blanket apology to anyone who didn't receive an acknowledgment of their feedback. Often it's because I didn't receive an email alert or I'm insanely busy. I'm thankful that you do have the sense of empathy, graciousness and generosity that you do because you've gone a long way to make this little corner of the web a place of inspiration, encouragement and fine art. For this, I'm forever grateful. [ go to comment ]
