I cannot define your style. : I cannot define your style.  I can applaud it (and I do); I praise it, admire it, envy it at times, study it closely when I read your poems, and I let its verbal power wash over me like a great and refreshing seabreeze.  But I cannot say what exactly it is.  So if you have a name for it, or if it follows a particular pattern or school of verse styles, please tell me.  But . . . more than anything else I might request here . . . please do not change it.

Although I cannot fully: Although I cannot fully agree, theologically, with the first two lines, I am still very impressed by the poem itself.

If I had the academic: If I had the academic qualifications to teach Poetry on an undergrad level---I mean, to teach the practical composition of Poetry (rather than simply doing readings of ancient Poets and such)---I would want to use your texts as examples; yours, and the work of one other Poet on this site, as the primary ways a young, aspiring poet should approach the craft.

This poem makes me wish for: This poem makes me wish for something:  it makes me wish for a long volume of poems from you in this form.  The understated voice, the powerful imagery, the emotion that speaks through the words without overclouding them . . . wow!!!  You are one of the finest Poets on this site, and I have been far too neglectful and careless in failing to say this repeatedly.

I have been reading Poetry: I have been reading Poetry for fifty years, as of this past April, 2023, but I cannot explain either the impressive power for the definite effect of these words that you present in nine short lines.  I have fallen behind in my reading again, largely due to my medical situation, but I sure do want to catch up now. And I always love your subtle references to the stars.

It is a great thing to have: It is a great thing to have grandchildren.  My wife and I parented a blendid family (three children from our previous marriages), and they have now blessed us with seven grandchildren.  But . . . when the two great-grandchildren arrived, just a couple of years ago, we began to feel old.  We thought of ourselves as young grandparents, but "young great grandparents" seems to be a contradiction in terms.

This is amazing..: This is amazing. An impressive achievement and a pleasure to read. I'd like to point something out regarding your title PEN OF PASSION. You may not be aware of this, but if you take the letters which make up that title and scramble them, you'll come up with how I feel many women think when they think about a relationship with a man: PEN OF PASSION = NO PENIS? O, F. PAS!

Ummm...no. If I was this: Ummm...no. If I was this would be the longest pregnancy in history. lol I posted this in 2013-had nothing to do with pregnancy. I'm a mom to 4 grown adult children and 4 grandchildren as well.

I don’t want to pry..: I don't want to pry into your personal life. It's none of my business. But I was curious. Are you, by any chance, pregnant? I mean, your words 'liquid emotions drown me', 'thoughts and fears swim around', and 'I am akin to waters' sound to me like a woman whose water is about to break. Better to be safe than sorry. If I was you, I'd go to the ER immediately. You may not think you're on the verge of having a baby. Let them check to be sure. Keep me posted, ok?
