rachel commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Aetia, He Slipped His Shoes Off During Class by J-C4113D 2 years 8 weeks* ago* A work that makes me feel: A work that makes me feel wistful and juvenile, in that I once again am in English class, casting furtive gazes at the cute boy a few rows ahead, scrawling unpolished poetry into my lined notebook paper about the curve of his lips and the curl of his hair. A specific and familiar sensation, despite the years between now and then. Brava, poet! As with all these Ad Astra (what a title!) I am moved. Agreeing with Patriciajj that I just make time to sit down and read them all [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Change by SSmoothie 2 years 8 weeks* ago* The elation is contagious in: The elation is contagious in this poem of hope and ascension. What often appears to be devastation is simply clearing the way for something better, as you expressed with electrifying insight here: "The crumbling of illusions The shattering sound of truth" Each line is a wave of free-flowing illumination as you help us realize that we no longer have the luxury of ignorance and apathy: "There is no stopping it The atmosphere is charged with it The frequency resonates Harmonics wind together in unison chorus upon chorus This is not life! This is not living!" How true. Your call to rise up from "the stupor" intrigued me and compelled me to continue: "Life is ours And now we claim it! bring it forth, each calamity a step closer The Fork in the proverbial road pivots And just like that, Its different;" Finally the floodgates open and you baptize us with a higher frequency of consciousness: "More than prayers written on a heartbeat Reverberating into the universe Oh, So much more... And then some!" An excellent, rousing and motivating renewal. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Aetia, He Slipped His Shoes Off During Class by J-C4113D 2 years 8 weeks* ago* So many supreme works of: So many supreme works of wonder have popped up in your collection that I'm frustrated that I've been so busy and don't have time to explore them all. Each one deserves reflection, deep analysis and praise. Here, you take what seems, on the surface, to be an ordinary scene, but under the surface, there are stories within stories about its significance. Anthony, with a simple, playful, demonstrative act, injected his own life-altering statement into the teacher's pat lecture and invited numerous interpretations, both sensual and delightfully subversive. Highly meaningful nostalgia. [ go to comment ]

SSmoothie commented on: Postcards from Eons Past (Images from the James Webb Space Telescope) by patriciajj 2 years 8 weeks* ago* Wow! I really felt my spirit: Wow! I really felt my spirit move in for what is fir me two poems that could both stand in their own right! From this gorgeous immaculate prologue: Quantum particles or these macro realms like scattered jewels— each one a cluster of worlds, each one terrifying in its splendor, each one an epoch or epochs— it's all the same through the eyes of Spirit Who showed us a day in the life of forever, and what a gift to a teeming, questioning planet to rewind millennia and peer into the impossible: Ravenous, mauling void, screaming white pinholes: the abyss and paradise trading places again and again, here in a glassy freedom running rampant, going about its usual business quite nicely without us in the slow-breathing star kingdoms and pastures of silence. Imagine: immaculate, immortal, opulent . . . Followed by this incredible soliloquy: silence where there should be legends that make us weep, grind us into dust, crush our writhing hearts in a vise . . . Magnetic darkness like a wordless sage too evolved for our prim and acceptable faith, our shark-toothed love, our trifling mortal stories, say something. Tell us about the rest of it. Read from the Book of Omnipotence here, at time's end and time's beginning, where new, polished thoughts are possible, here, in the center of raging emptiness and raucous stillness between galaxies. Galaxies! Is this God or another exhibition at the palace? Whatever this is, for a moment we are perfectly cleansed and perfectly here and perfectly united in wonder. Both take me to very well travelled and new places thoughts and dillemas. You have so beautifully penned these here. I hope you don't mind that I like them individually more than together, the perfection of the first has left an indelible impression on my thoughts. Best blessings Ss. [ go to comment ]
