patriciajj commented on: Musings On Time II by rachel 2 years 6 weeks* ago* "Time is an illusion, but it’s: "Time is an illusion, but it’s made out of real things. Kind of like yourself." A stellar way to wrap up your cleverly casual and relatable expression. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Chatterton's redress by arqios 2 years 6 weeks* ago* Thank you most kindly dear: Thank you most kindly dear Patricia. May the beauty you find be the blessing that surrounds. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: with you by arqios 2 years 6 weeks* ago* I love poems about Autumn;: I love poems about Autumn; and this strikes me as just such a poem. Tremendous emotion resonates from a few sparse lines. Concision and compression, which this poem adroitly demonstrates, are signs of classic talent---as the great Poet, J. V. Cunningham asserted, decades ago. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: WINTER by chris 2 years 6 weeks* ago* A very understandable state: A very understandable state to be in. If memory serves, the term is seasonal affect disorder. Although I wonder why is should a disorder when it is more of a syndrome. Perhaps sad is better than sas. lol. Thanks for sharing. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Chatterton's redress by arqios 2 years 6 weeks* ago* Brilliant use of contrast in: Brilliant use of contrast in this dramatic and picturesque tribute that activates the sense of taste in a highly symbolic way. As always, your poetic craftsmanship stops me in my tracks and seizes me with amazement. What literary experience is better than that? Everything you conjure is phenomenal. I mean that.

patriciajj commented on: Hid my love in a poem by uglyalek 2 years 6 weeks* ago* Simply wondrous. I echo what: Simply wondrous. I echo what Starward wrote; it certainly is profound emotion contained in a succinct, beautiful package. Each line is the definition of elegant yet pulsating brevity, then sewn together loosely with the crafty use of white space it becomes . . . a marvel. The last line rings true with such power and perfection that I don't know what else to say. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Mushrooms in the forest by humanfruit 2 years 6 weeks* ago* "veil of absolute gloom: "veil of absolute gloom spritzed into the wind, or with pondering paintbrush perhaps fixed by the trembling hand of omnipotent genius." And what luxurious, atmospheric, mind-blowing strokes of genius your poetic brush has brought before us! I need to burrow deep into each explosive line to grasp, then emerge, with the actual experience, which I interpret as surreal, menacing and hallucinatory. It could also be dazzling symbolism for an oppressive force or fear, but whatever the translation, it is absolutely worth the mental workout. Such art! I'm still breathless. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: This is a poem by uglyalek 2 years 6 weeks* ago* Somewhat likened to the: Somewhat likened to the tribute to the best song ever written. Could it that both writer and reader create the composition together and this symbiosis is what makes literature what it is? Like from two opposing banks the selfsame river flows. And yet the water in it is always different but in some ways the same. [ go to comment ]

Pungus commented on: Waiting wishing wondering by humanfruit 2 years 6 weeks* ago* Thank you!!!: Your diction is mighty magnetic [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Waiting wishing wondering by humanfruit 2 years 6 weeks* ago* "Waiting, wishing, wondering": "Waiting, wishing, wondering" such a powerful rift to riff off; the distinct absence of the called for commas bring a whole feel of meaning that otherwise grammatical/syntactical convention would smother. And the penchant for us humans to pin our existence to the behest of others is unfailing in every period of history. A truly gripping expression. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: NUKING HIROSHIMA by georgeschaefer 2 years 7 weeks* ago* There is a prophecy and: There is a prophecy and promise that anyone that lives by the sword ⚔️ dies by the sword ⚔️ Hence peoples and nations that live by war shall by that virtue be decimated by war; which seems to be true of the ancient warring empires. It's kind of like the Bermuda Triangle of gratuitous violence. Just a thought really. [ go to comment ]
georgeschaefer commented on: PATHWAY TO THE TREEHOUSE by georgeschaefer 2 years 7 weeks* ago* There is a loveliness and: There is a loveliness and energy to youth that is often not appreciated at the time. Of course, that is also part of the process of life. If we were wiser and more thoughtful as youth, we might well be smart enough to not do all the crazy fun things we look back on so fondly.
