Starward commented on: Entitled To Evil by EventHorizon 1 year 49 weeks* ago* God watches now because He: God watches now because He will not take away the gift of Free Will that He bestowed upon us. But watching does not imply passive response. He will respond in His timing, not ours; and that response will be, for some, rather rough. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Broken Souls by EventHorizon 1 year 49 weeks* ago* No one can doubt the power of: No one can doubt the power of your imagery. I have, in decades past, read many horror tales in prose---many of them far too verbose---that do not handle this same theme near as successfully as you have in those poems of yours that I have read tonight, [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Abysmal by EventHorizon 1 year 49 weeks* ago* The poignancy of the last: The poignancy of the last four lines is gut-wrenching. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: And I miss you by SSmoothie 1 year 50 weeks* ago* The two Poets who have: The two Poets who have commented on this prior to me have completely expressed what I would have said anyhow, and they have expressed it better than I could. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: The Show Goes On by rachel 1 year 50 weeks* ago* I agree, with just one: I agree, with just one reservation, that this poem should not be further edited, because it reads so well as it is. The one alteration I would suggest is to change "round 2" to "round two." And those last ten or so lines are very, very powerful. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Wombaloo by rachel 1 year 50 weeks* ago* This is better than Lewis: This is better than Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Pillow Thoughts by rachel 1 year 50 weeks* ago* This poem has a very playful: This poem has a very playful tone to it, like the scherzo in a symphony. This is how I imagine your actual conversational voice to be. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: In The Lovely Quiet by rachel 1 year 50 weeks* ago* I applaud your use of active: I applaud your use of active verbs, of the "ing" ending for some of those verbs, and for building the poem up to that triumphant, hopeful, and celebratory final line. This is an excellent poem. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: His Dream of Lions by rachel 1 year 50 weeks* ago* This is some very heavy, yet: This is some very heavy, yet very astute, poetry to write at the age of seventeen. You were more observant of human nature, at that age, than I was; and I applaud you for it!!! [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: The Show by rachel 1 year 50 weeks* ago* One of the burdensome aspects: One of the burdensome aspects of being a Poet is that sometimes we have to face, report on, and describe the horrific aspects of our common existence. The fact that you realize this, and with unflincing candor you acknowledge it, tells me you have the right stuff for Poetry. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Fire Mattress by rachel 1 year 50 weeks* ago* In four short lines, you: In four short lines, you describe what---in my opinion---is one of the great metaphysical paradoxes of our existence: our burdens singe us like flames, and yet in the pain of that injury, we know we are alive.
