crypticbard commented on: July 9th, 1976 by J-C4113D 2 years 13 weeks* ago* The first thought that leaped: The first thought that leaped out at me was the term "adopted," which puts a rather hefty redirection of thoughts; perhaps because of the reason that homelife could rather contrast differently based on its composition. Second thought was that Lloyd and Betty sound oddly like caricatures; and perhaps would in future conversations refer to them as LAB and their "laboratory subjects" as their 'labrats.' That is only referring to them in such manner until emancipation. Third, Could not get around the idea that they would be so heavy handed to a person over 18 in the mid to late 70s; quite medieval in my thinking. Fourth, I was always fascinated with the Ford Pinto but never owned one nor having the privilage of riding in one. [ go to comment ]

J9th commented on: The Rambles of a Forked Self by THWYALG 2 years 13 weeks* ago* The wording of this poem is: The wording of this poem is fantastic, and its tone of philosophical rumination carries an unquestionable authority. I have exoeruebced some of these issues presented or raised by the poem, but have never articulated them so well (and never will, not like you have). This is a brilliant poem, and deserves the utmost applause. [ go to comment ]

owlcrkbrg commented on: Jake's Poem Repair by owlcrkbrg 2 years 13 weeks* ago* Thanks, J9th: I'm glad the poem works well for you. I just wrote it, so there will most likely be several revisions pending. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Jake's Poem Repair by owlcrkbrg 2 years 13 weeks* ago* Ah, the Poet is a comedian.: Ah, the Poet is a comedian. The best of both worlds. This had me smiling, and that's no small gift after a stressful day. Well, this is one poem that needs no repair—delivering satire, wit and therapy in one graceful swoop. Well done! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: When Mountains Erupt by lyrycsyntyme 2 years 13 weeks* ago* "and i've been learning so: "and i've been learning so breathe fire fill the atmosphere scourge the landscape melt away illusions that anything lasts," So much gripping emotion tumbles through this metaphorical triumph that I just want to applaud rather than analyze. The effect speaks for itself, but I still need to express my admiration for the stylistic impact, the brilliant use of sensory words and the deft execution of imagery. An absorbing creation.

J9th commented on: Jake's Poem Repair by owlcrkbrg 2 years 13 weeks* ago* This poem is brilliant---the: This poem is brilliant---the kind one expects when your screen name appears on a poem. Your use of the extended metaphor makes for a great reading experience. [ go to comment ]
J9th commented on: One last Caress by Rashbar 2 years 13 weeks* ago* This is beautiful and well: This is a beautiful and well organized love poem. I am particularly impressed with the line describing the sun as sherbet bright: wow!, what a brilliant comparison. I have been enjoying sherbet for over half a century, and have never thought of it as a source of poetic description--and I feel like a silly fool for missing that, So I applaud your poem for its verbal excellence and emotional candor.

J9th commented on: Where I am From by nancylangley 2 years 14 weeks* ago* Reading this poem again, I: Reading this poem again, I find that---like the best poems that interest me---it loses nothing on second reading but actually gains, because it requires that I bring more (of either life's experience, or life's questions) to it. That is an effect that, in my own opinion, only the finest poems can produce; and, among them, this poem. I applaud your accomplishment. [ go to comment ]
bigluv21 commented on: Where I am From by nancylangley 2 years 14 weeks* ago* Deep. Beautifully Deep. : Deep. Beautifully Deep. I don't know about anyone else, but I caught it emotionally as well. It may have been a while but you still got it. [ go to comment ]
