Starward commented on: Meiosis by peggikaye 1 year 11 weeks* ago* I have been reading poetry: I have been reading poetry for fifty years as of this past April, and I have never seen a poem on that particular subject. And the counter indicates over three thousand six hundred readings of this poem---that speaks far more about it than my poor words can. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Creeping Dresses by satishverma 1 year 11 weeks* ago* In nine short lines, you: In nine short lines, you create a sense of foreboding horror, which us centered around the fifth and sixth lines. There, the poem defines the place as "an eerie loveland," and describes the "holy people" who "tear earth's womb." Within the context of the poem, those otherwise ordinary phrases become wildly charged with an implicit horror which resonates from them through the entire poem. Even in a second reading, the horror does not diminish. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: What to Pack for Your Departure by patriciajj 1 year 11 weeks* ago* Thank you for reading with: Thank you for reading with such a luminous and precise eye. You got it! I'm always thrilled to receive the impressions of such a gifted and insightful wordcrafter. [ go to comment ]
Beatnik1979 commented on: Signs In The Sky by Beatnik1979 1 year 11 weeks* ago* .: the reading/listening/viewing experience is always so highly subjective... From person to person.....or even from the state of mind when you read or re-read.... A “faces come out in the rain” type of situation... in my mind, when i sing this, and even while I penned it, It was with in a “crooner” vocal style. Long sustains and carrying the notes add to that affect, i suppose... but I hope it moved you in some way. thanks for the read W. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Signs In The Sky by Beatnik1979 1 year 11 weeks* ago* Kinda brought me back to: Kinda brought me back to "whisper to a scream" in one way but this is its own song in so much more. The chains make for an unbroken melody. That perhaps alludes to another song from way back when. And yet this is its own voice and organic whole and brings the earth and the sky and everything in between, dark and light, hope and despair: very well proportioned! [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: licence to keel by arqios 1 year 11 weeks* ago* Not as good as can be, my: Not as good as can be, my fault really. But there is always that one day that needs to be smited by today only, that's all we got. And yeah, "over ripe" is one of those beauties of vaguery in language that open up interpretation!

Beatnik1979 commented on: licence to keel by arqios 1 year 11 weeks* ago* Excellent : Gain and flutter are guitar terms...do you yourself play? The usage of “over ripe” could means several different things left open to interp. I had fun exploring both contexts! over-ripe meaning re-worked to the point of thnking to hard and dsiplaying an over worked piece... i.e. “Stinking of the lamp” an expression coined by over-use of an oil lamp dring an all-nighter. or over ripe poets, meaning poets in need of a shower and shave... there are a few that tickle the brain, and keep it from smoothing over. very well done.

Beatnik1979 commented on: space between by steelrunner303 1 year 11 weeks* ago* .: I dig the use of “pouring thorns”... man...i felt that in my bones. We all have our space between. W. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: space between by steelrunner303 1 year 11 weeks* ago* That is quite encompassing as: That is quite encompassing as language embraces the spaces where there may be no words or understanding, comfort or hope. There is beauty and refuge there as well. This is such a gem to the reading heart. [ go to comment ]
Beatnik1979 commented on: Blue Like The Moon / song lyrics by Beatnik1979 1 year 11 weeks* ago* .: Thanks for the read, very much appreciated... not much of a singer...actually quite shy in that regard.... Was aiming at somthing that can be embellished in true “crooner” form... Ill definitely do a play through on soundcloud in future. thanks for your interest ! W. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: What to Pack for Your Departure by patriciajj 1 year 11 weeks* ago* Breathless but not: Breathless but not thoughtless nor void of emotion - but full to overflowing. That is how parting should be. In the build up it felt like a parting that could most definitely end up sorrowful but the latter part and that shining last stanza has made the Reader both validated and empowered to walk in such light everyday. Thanks for sharing. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Blue Like The Moon / song lyrics by Beatnik1979 1 year 11 weeks* ago* There is quite a strong beat: There is quite a strong beat and cadence as this poem is read out, quite a fascinating feature of many poems. Here one can be lost in the moment, and have that n't lobby/entrance feeling after leaving the cinema and a world that had only recently enveloped all of yourself. Can't wait to experience it on Soundcloud! [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: minutiae by arqios 1 year 11 weeks* ago* Thanks beatnik. I am glad you: Thanks beatnik. I am glad you aired that thought. The question is probably the most important mechanism of thinking, as far as human thought life is concerned. I could be wrong there, but it is compelling and does transcend language which can be very offputting for many of us who are not fans of the thought-gym. F. [ go to comment ]
