SSmoothie commented on: Whoah there Tiger! by SSmoothie 1 year 22 weeks* ago* Thankyou its hard to be fair: Thankyou its hard to be fair and real in a world of propaganda that glorifies tearing down the old and filling it with the new. A compromise must be reached. And the only way is being brave enough to say what is not ok and be ready for the truth of any side where compromise or acceptance resides. Cancel culture is an abomination to me. the most dividing, unloving and dictatorial thing and Stalin started it and Hitler refined it. The world is far more complicated than anyone wants to think so the more absurd the distraction the easier it is to manoeuvre in the darkness... who operates in the darkness with no light? Nothing good in my eyes. Hidden agendas have a lot to answer for we are all sleeping at the wheel of the next generations inheritance... blessingss ss [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Whoah there Tiger! by SSmoothie 1 year 22 weeks* ago* The powerful empathy and: The powerful empathy and wisdom in your words radiate right off the page, like an fissionable substance, and into the readers' minds. Well written, well thought out, and well presented. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Your God, My God by satishverma 1 year 22 weeks* ago* Although not entirely sure of: Although not entirely sure of what is means, I like this poem very much. It reminds me of some French symbolist poems. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: @ 27.225 MHz: Sonnet On The Poetry Of Patriciajj by J-C4113d 1 year 22 weeks* ago* Your kind support and rare: Your kind support and rare talent have made all the difference, not only to me, but to many others. I sincerely applaud you. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: young love's shimmer by arqios 1 year 22 weeks* ago* You had some excellent: You had some excellent inspiration and your offspring has all the resplendent craftsmanship of a classic love poem and all the allure of a drama. Your innovative twist is your high-impact focus on invaded privacy, the "voyeur's curse", that intruded upon one of the most important firsts in a person's life, or, in your shrewd words, a "perfect abyss", an "inexperienced intensity". With impressive skill you conveyed the envy of the killjoys. We're left wondering how beautiful the story would have ended if the young lovers had been left alone. And yes, as Starward noted, there is a strong undercurrent of Shakespearean tragedy. A powerful angle on a timeless theme. Excellent, as always. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: PEARLABLES by georgeschaefer 1 year 22 weeks* ago* I thoroughly enjoyed your: I thoroughly enjoyed your endearing, down-to-earth and nostalgic portrait of a different sort of hero: the everyday fixture in our lives who brings a bit of joy, if only for a short while in small ways, and in the case of Old Pearl, in the form of the familiar "grease truck" (I take it there were no vegan options for strange people like me ). I had to smile at your clever swipe at gentrification: How an authentic "roach coach" serving "hungry plebes" back then is now something hijacked by the suits and the fashionable because "Anthony Bourdain rode in/ and glamorized food trucks" that had, until then, "barely evolved from the chuckwagon". You did a superb job bringing Pearl and the old days (not always good, but strangely missed) to life. A pleasure to read. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: young love's shimmer by arqios 1 year 22 weeks* ago* My first impression of this: My first impression of this poem was a sense of Shakespeare's adolescent lovers, Romeo & Juliet. Any poem that presents some aspect of them is, by that association, beautiful. [ go to comment ]

crypticbard commented on: The Crowning of A King by ramonathompsont 1 year 22 weeks* ago* Here waiting for the new: Here waiting for the new minting of coins and paper bills. Those of course and every other thing that this new reign will bring. That including music and talents. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: @ 27.225 MHz: Sonnet On The Poetry Of Patriciajj by J-C4113d 1 year 22 weeks* ago* Thank you for those kind: Thank you for those kind words. The grandeur of your Poetry towers over this site the way the sun towers of the earth; and, like the sun, it brings light, warmth, and sustenance wherever it shines. We do not thank the sun; I doubt most people ever really think about the sun. But I need to thank you for the quality of your verbal skill, and the great delight it has brought to me over these past three years; hence, this sonnet, small but sincerely offered in good Faith.

patriciajj commented on: @ 27.225 MHz: Sonnet On The Poetry Of Patriciajj by J-C4113d 1 year 22 weeks* ago* Even if this wasn't a: Even if this wasn't a generous and highly valued gift from a connoisseur of words, I would honestly say that the artistic merit of your sonnet is supreme. It has your distinctive splendor flowing through every line and each line is a triumph. Vintage Starward and masterfully opulent. Groping for words now . . . Silenced in humble gratitude.
