Thank : Tahnk you for reading. This is a work in progress I already made some changes. There is nothing better thatn coffee aroma for memories. Thank you for reading and commenting. Check out the few changes I made just now.
I am usually too verbose in: I am usually too verbose in many of my comments, but I must confess that this poem reaches me at such an elemental level that I do not have sufficient words to describe its impact upon me. I selected this poem at what I thought was a random browse; but I do not now believe the browse was random, I believe it was directed. I was led here, and I am mighty glad that I was.
If I may add..: If I may add something to your title 'Unmitigated Lies'
When it comes to Donald Trump
Not only are his lies unmitigated
As far as we know
I'm guessing 95% of them remain unlitigated.
I agree with you 100%..: I agree with you 100%. We certainly are living in a paranoid society. I am definitely paranoid, but in a different way. I believe that people are out to do good things for me.
If I were to..: If I were to take an egg
Take it right after it's hatched
And cook it, no joke
Oh, I could eat the yolk
Oh no! Don't you see how they matched?
You know what I'm referring to?
Is your head now in a whirl?
I'll be your 'Yolk, oh? Oh no! boy'
If you'll be my 'littlelennongurl'
Though your New Years..: Though your New Years wish is somewhat belated
It is very much appreciated.
The same to you and your family.
By the way, regarding your online name
Bob Marley said 'No woman, no cry'
You're 'wisdomscry'
Does that mean you believe 'No wisdom, no cry'?I must disagree. I feel the opposite.
Still enjoy reading your poems though.
As I have said before, and: As I have said before, and will continue to say, watching your collection of Poems expand on this site, is one of the great privileges of membership in PostPoems, and of my life personally. Decades ago, when I studied (as devoutly as a twenty-something can) the poems of Eliot, Vergil, and Stevens, I wondered what it would be like to watch in real time, rather than to simply read about as past literary history. But, although I did not know it then, I was being prepared, even that long ago, to watch your Poetry accumulate here. Your Cosmic perspective, and attentiveness to the nuances of language, are exponentially refined and so artistically deployed. I have also said that the posting of any new Poem from you is an event to be celebrated, and I will always believe that.
I am grateful to some very great scholars---Hugh Kenner, Samuel French Morse, and Helen Vendler---whose writings taught me how to more deeply appreciate your Poetry.
I'm so inspired and motivated: I'm so inspired and motivated by the kindness (and the genius) of a Poet who not only creates torrents of fine art, but also has literary acumen like few others.
It has been quite an encouraging and creative adventure since you first showed up on my page. Thank you for taking me to new heights with your support!
Normally, I do not care for: Normally, I do not care for the archaic sound of inversion of adjectivenoun order (like "solace sweet" in the third line of this poem) because people do not talk that way. I understand it is often compelled to comply with the rhyme scheme. But, while I normally do not like it, in this poem---which is otherwise so charming---it is not a defect at all, but seems to be an appropriate way for the poem to speak. I applaud your accomplishment, and this second demonstration of your skilled use of the ballad quatrain.
