J-Called commented on: Nonchalant by Wordman 23 weeks 4 days* ago* Stephen's comment directed me: Stephen's comment directed me to this poem, and I am might glad I did. This poignant resonance of this poem is so powerful that, while reading it, I felt the wind had been knocked out of me. This poem speaks volumes to me about two periods in my life, in the same year (1976)---and, reading through the poem, I felt that old emotion climb back into my throat, as if I had stepped into a time machine. I do not know the provenance of the poem, and it is really none of my business, but I can assure that---for this reader---this poem becomes a very personalized statement of emotions that swept through me during the summer after I turned eighteen.

Teytonon commented on: Paranoid Society by LittleLennonGurl 23 weeks 5 days* ago* I agree with you 100%..: I agree with you 100%. We certainly are living in a paranoid society.

Don't you see how they matched? You know what I'm referring to? Is your head now in a whirl? I'll be your 'Yolk, oh? Oh no! boy' If you'll be my 'littlelennongurl' [ go to comment ]
Teytonon commented on: EMBRACE IT! by wisdomscry 23 weeks 5 days* ago* Though your New Years..: Though your New Years wish is somewhat belated It is very much appreciated. The same to you and your family. By the way, regarding your online name Bob Marley said 'No woman, no cry' You're 'wisdomscry' Does that mean you believe 'No wisdom, no cry'?I must disagree. I feel the opposite. Still enjoy reading your poems though. [ go to comment ]

J-Called commented on: + 27.225 MHz: Brief Poem About Patriciajj's Poetry [XLIX] by S74RW4RD 23 weeks 6 days* ago* As I have said before, and: As I have said before, and will continue to say, watching your collection of Poems expand on this site, is one of the great privileges of membership in PostPoems, and of my life personally. Decades ago, when I studied (as devoutly as a twenty-something can) the poems of Eliot, Vergil, and Stevens, I wondered what it would be like to watch in real time, rather than to simply read about as past literary history. But, although I did not know it then, I was being prepared, even that long ago, to watch your Poetry accumulate here. Your Cosmic perspective, and attentiveness to the nuances of language, are exponentially refined and so artistically deployed. I have also said that the posting of any new Poem from you is an event to be celebrated, and I will always believe that. I am grateful to some very great scholars---Hugh Kenner, Samuel French Morse, and Helen Vendler---whose writings taught me how to more deeply appreciate your Poetry. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: + 27.225 MHz: Brief Poem About Patriciajj's Poetry [XLIX] by S74RW4RD 24 weeks 13 hours* ago* I'm so inspired and motivated: I'm so inspired and motivated by the kindness (and the genius) of a Poet who not only creates torrents of fine art, but also has literary acumen like few others. It has been quite an encouraging and creative adventure since you first showed up on my page. Thank you for taking me to new heights with your support! [ go to comment ]
J-Called commented on: Simple Joy by Savvart 24 weeks 14 hours* ago* Yes, it is definitely a fun: Yes, it is definitely a fun poem. Your quatrains flow very well; I applaud your verbal skill. [ go to comment ]
J-Called commented on: It's Your Life by Savvart 24 weeks 14 hours* ago* Normally, I do not care for: Normally, I do not care for the archaic sound of inversion of adjectivenoun order (like "solace sweet" in the third line of this poem) because people do not talk that way. I understand it is often compelled to comply with the rhyme scheme. But, while I normally do not like it, in this poem---which is otherwise so charming---it is not a defect at all, but seems to be an appropriate way for the poem to speak. I applaud your accomplishment, and this second demonstration of your skilled use of the ballad quatrain. [ go to comment ]
