LawrenceMathebula commented on: World War Three by LittleLennonGurl 1 year 2 weeks* ago* No, world war three because of USA not Russia.: When i see Bush, i see a man who destroyed Iraq, when i see Obama, i see a man who destroyed Libya. Today, USA is indirectly fighting Russia through Ukraine; they could not do it directly, they had to form Nato to do it. Will USA step foot on Russian soil as if Libya or Iraq? No. They are not brave. Ok, maybe they will but thats where WW3 will start*. Russia is not evil, it's defending itself from foreign intervention, imperialism etc. If Ukraine was not close to Russia, it would've allowed them to do "as they wish". [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: Please Pray For Me, That This Thought Will Remain With Me Unto Death by J-C4113D 1 year 3 weeks* ago* Thank you for commenting. : Thank you for commenting. And I agree with you totally. All my life, I have always been at least a day late and a dollar short, metaphorically speaking, and it has taken me about fifty-seven years to forgive my parents for beginning the process by which they attempted to block my two overwhelming interests. And though my parents were solidly sensible people in most things, their fear of obsession and that I would become like Leslie (who lived down the street), implanted in their minds by neighbor Doris, caused them to act and think irrationally about my interests. (For example, for my ninth birthday, they purchased a small but very efficient telescope and had it mounted on a surveyor's tripod so that I could sit while looking into it. Then I was not permitted to use it during the summer after 9pm, because their schedule required me to be in bed and ready to sleep by 9pm, even on weekends.) But God brought a wondrous experience out of this for me. Thanks again for the comment. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Please Pray For Me, That This Thought Will Remain With Me Unto Death by J-C4113D 1 year 3 weeks* ago* As with that famed allusion: As with that famed allusion to whatever was meant for evil or in-evil has worked out for good in God's hands when we are so disposed to allow the Avenger to avenge, revenge being solely His.

S74rw4rd commented on: I Received A Small Miracle Today; and I Think Matthew Would Want Me To Write Of It by J-C4113D 1 year 3 weeks* ago* Thank you so much for the: Thank you so much for the comment, and for understanding and validating what I was attempting to say. And I appreciate your prayers. Although the catheter has totally failed, I have found some measure of relief from the initial pain such a failure causes, and the urologist was able to see me at 2:15 tomorrow on an emergency basis. You reminded me of a Scripture of which I should be far more cognizant at my age, and which I have, in my usual careless way, neglected: Luke 7:47, in which Jesus equated forgiveness and how much we have loved, exactly as you said in your comment. I must keep this verse in the forefront of my mind as I continue to approach my departure time. You have helped me more today than you might have anticipated when you posted the comment, and I appreciate the kindness. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Dawn at Midnight by metaphorist 1 year 3 weeks* ago* "dawn at midnight" A vividly: "dawn at midnight" A vividly precise description of that hyper-aware, creative state we thrive on. Although I don't have the time to comment on all your elegant masterworks, I still enjoy your poetry when I get the chance to stop by. You're the real deal. Keep writing! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: I Received A Small Miracle Today; and I Think Matthew Would Want Me To Write Of It by J-C4113D 1 year 3 weeks* ago* I hope and pray that you have: I hope and pray that you have found some relief from your physical anguish. My prayers go out to you in abundance and often. But in spite of your discomfort, you managed to be the cavalry over the hill by sharing your truly remarkable experience. It was a blessing on three levels: First, there's no problem too large or too small that the One Who Watches Sparrows won't help us with because we are loved unconditionally and immeasurably. Second, this seems like Matthew's way of saying: "I appreciate the remembrance, but hey, no need for sorrow. I'm doing great!" There are plenty of NDEs that prove that God is absolute, inexpressable love, and this extends to those who many religious people, in their ignorance, condemn because of their sexual orientation. In The Light, there's only one burning question: how much did we love? Third, it's a miracle! We can all use a miracle in our life now and then, but the timing of your own personal sign and wonder was particularly intriguing. I was lifted to a much higher place today by your thrilling testimony. Much needed refreshment! Thank you! [ go to comment ]

S74rw4rd commented on: I Posted This Elsewhere, Too by J-C4113D 1 year 3 weeks* ago* Thank you for your comment,: Thank you for your comment, and yes you are absolutely right about the "standards." As for the painting, I know nothing about art, but i know I was mighty impressed by it. [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: This Poem by and_hera_met_zeus 1 year 3 weeks* ago* First, I must apologize for: First, I must apologize for not keeping up with your poems. Personal issues keep me behind right now, so please forgive me. Next, let me say how very, very impressive this poem is. I love meta-poetry, and this is definitely a meta-poem. And the tone of your words is conversational, but the reader knows that this is definitely a poem, a superior poem, and not some prose scribble by a wannabe. I applaud your accomplishment in this poem. [ go to comment ]
and_hera_met_zeus commented on: I Posted This Elsewhere, Too by J-C4113D 1 year 3 weeks* ago* I don't know very much: But if your friend is anything like the "friends" I know who are similar, I doubt he holds himself up to these ridiculous "standards" he was trying to impose on you. Now I'm off to see a search engine about a painting... [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: Throwing stones in glass houses by cynosure 1 year 3 weeks* ago* I certainly learned something: I certainly learned something from this, today. I did not realize that Borges was self-taught; I presumed that, being a Librarian, he had studied formally. I really love his Poetry and I presumed he had done some formal preparation prior to writing it. [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: MIDDLE SCHOOL by chris 1 year 3 weeks* ago* When I went to school, in the: When I went to school, in the days of the dinosaurs, we called it "junior high." But, by whatever name, you have described it very well. This poem revived some memories for me. [ go to comment ]

S74rw4rd commented on: Getting Lucky by metaphorist 1 year 3 weeks* ago* Writing and posting this poem: Writing and posting this poem surely requires an honesty and strength of character and soul that few of us can actually achieve. I applaud your accomplishment---not only verbally, but in the candor of your words. You are---truly---one of PostPoems' finest. [ go to comment ]
