patriciajj commented on: would be people's queen by arqios 2 years 4 weeks ago
I'm assuming this very: I'm assuming this very stirring and gorgeously composed tribute is for Dianna who would have made the finest queen. Her compassion, fearless activism and egalitarian vision would have been a much-needed inspiration, not only in the UK, but the world.   Your elegant words are a worthy monument to the better world that could have been. Achingly beautiful.

Thank you for your remarks: Feilnes carry their mysteries, indeed. And, while, as a species we've made many missteps, one of our good choices was to bring them into our shelters.

Thank you.: And yes, especially with Bobbi (the muse, here). But cats, in general, do seem to forgive slight very quickly. Subsequently, as I look at my two snoozing cats now, I also realize that they don't lose a whole of sleep over life's ups and downs, either. Hm.

crypticbard commented on: The hippie hallucinatory by humanfruit 2 years 4 weeks ago
Having grown up in the haze: Having grown up in the haze of the 'hippie hallucinatory' reading this brings back kaleidoscopic memories, having been a bit young to participate was an almost silent witness to all the goings on. Succeeding generations would have thaie own psychedelia but nothing compares to the madness of the pioneers.

The Romans didn't crucify: The Romans didn't crucify Him And neither did the Jews But all that did and do deny Him And all who line the pews   Those nails it's been said, have no power His love for us the pegs That kept Him 'pon Passover's Tower To raise us up from dregs   Perhaps a day we'll deign consider Forgiveness from Above From Heaven to us, Great Descender No other greater Love

Starward commented on: Footnote: Three Tanka [ /;\ ] by J-C4113D 2 years 4 weeks ago
Thank you very much for that: Thank you very much for that comment.  Akthugh I have not posted many Tanka sequences, I am always a little nervous that the interlinkage eliminates the stand-alone aspect.  But your comment---coming from a Poet of your ever rising stature---eliminates the question on this sequence.  And for that, I am most grateful.    And I thank you for understanding, as you always do, the effect that the poem is trying to create or present.  And this is not just academic understanding; it is a nurturer and a sustainer, so that this series of poems can continue to thrive.  And, for that, I do not have enough words of gratitude to offer you.

These three tanka could each: These three tanka could each stand alone, yet they fuse seamlessly together into a garden of physical, spiritual and earthly delights.   Nature is the thread that weaves sensuality and magnificence together. For instance, the cherry blossoms give a foretaste of a similar softness of the socks and their nuanced seduction; warm rain, a thin veil of moisture, awakens something primal in the observer in the second poem; the clouds and sun are vessels for the fully-blossomed love that drenches all creation in the third, forming a resplendent finale to the collection.   An alluring trio.

You set a sumptuous and: You set a sumptuous and intriguing stage. I would love to see where this goes! Something wonderful is certainly waiting to happen behind those "silken tapestry curtains" amid the "calm rhythmic clacking" in this mysterious place.   Great possibilities!

So clever! I adore the way: So clever! I adore the way you illustrated how much we "furless primates" can learn from these regal beings.   A charming and very valuable life lesson.

Mysteriously dark. I had a: Mysteriously dark. I had a rather random thought of the two visiting a tanning salon. But this is far too graphic about incineration and cremation. And due deference is given to the witch and her malevolence, no flippancy there either. I can see a Pixar short as well in my mind's filming eye.  Thanks for sharing.
