patriciajj commented on: looking for a real bargain by arqios 2 years 5 days* ago* I'm always stunned, in the: I'm always stunned, in the best way, by the innovation, the razor-sharpness, of your wordplay. It's poetic gymnastics worthy of a gold medal. Applause! [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Counting Boxcars by Spinoza 2 years 5 days* ago* I am becoming quite impressed: I am becoming quite impressed by the metaphorical meanings you draw from railroad equipment. [ go to comment ]
Spinoza commented on: @ 27.225 MHz: WallStones; Afterglow by J-C4113D 2 years 5 days* ago* we are what we are: crazes that become stylish, then fashionable, and--- finally---normative … abetted and enabled by towering technology founded on the lowest motives and moralities That alone, tells us, what sort of egregious gorillas we are at heart. And the seething wreath of flame, in the rear-view mirror – is our own profound ignorance… on a multi-stage burn, propelling us on the very same projectory. No doubt, we’d be a menace, wherever we hovered. ~/~ [ go to comment ]

Spinoza commented on: Civil Behavior by J-C4113D 2 years 6 days* ago* and don't forget the Ford that stole the show: Onslow’s Cortina that fired-off like a cannon – such good fun. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: SESAME STREET by chris 2 years 6 days* ago* Most of us have most probably: Most of us have most probably been weened off through this program. At least those of us born after the war [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Counting Boxcars by Spinoza 2 years 6 days* ago* Oh the fun... without sheep: Oh the fun... without sheep count boxcars! I was half expecting a riling morality narrative from the famed Boxcar Kids type novels. 12 or a 112 at midnight! Good choice for posting. And quite honoured at such graciousness. A success in putting together a railroad element with many other elements and themes so they interplayed intuitively. [ go to comment ]

crypticbard commented on: Family of cockroaches by humanfruit 2 years 6 days* ago* Minus that family of roaches: Minus that family of roaches in the hair, shivers! But true, the success of a poem before 10P.M. is indeed a good thing! [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: It is better I keep myself locked in a box by humanfruit 2 years 6 days* ago* A box with a keyhole, like: A box with a keyhole, like that top drawer in Peter Pan will allow the eye without lids to see through just as Tinker Bell did, spying on Wendy. Oh but the sound of one speaking will reverb within the walls of said box. mmm... [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Fred Sat in a Room by HCE 2 years 6 days* ago* Oh wow, just how many cities: Oh wow, just how many cities could there be! Makes one feel claustrophobic just reading about it. Poor Fred, at least he's got windshield spiderwebs that glint in the son! [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Shivering Happiness by Spinoza 2 years 6 days* ago* Mores the pity for poems that: Mores the pity for poems that aren't shared with others and lay hidden to whatever fate Time has for them. Of course that is the choice of poets and the eventual executors of their estate should the poems survive after their time on Earth is done. Railroads are on a class of their own! [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: a father myself by arqios 2 years 6 days* ago* Oh but boast away. We only: Oh but boast away. We only had a one off trip across that city and I was quite impressed by the roads if not much else, that would be the most distinctive feature any city should have in a motoring world. We did feel safe driving around as we chased after the historical areas of interest, which we are wont to do when visiting other cities and places. It is gladdening in the heart that the poem stirred up such thoughts as not many of us have wholesome memories of childhood and fatherhood specifically, a lost vocation-art-privilege in our sadly rundown society. I am also thankful for the reconciliation that I and my father had, as much as we could muster over the last couple years of his life. Thanks kindly for sharing your journey (related to this topic) here. [ go to comment ]
