Starward commented on: Holocaust by ECHOESshadow 2 years 40 weeks* ago* You evoke the tragedy of that: You evoke the tragedy of that situation quite well, and the short lines give it an intensity that longer lines would probably have bogged down. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Pumpkin's Toothless Grin by saiom 2 years 40 weeks* ago* Patricia's comment led me: Patricia's comment led me here; and I applaud this brief, but very profound, poem. Like the finest of the ancient epigrammatists, and like J. V. Cunningham in our time, you say a whole lot in just a few words and lines, and that is always a sign of classic talent. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: crying at commercials by tallsquirrelgirl 2 years 40 weeks* ago* This is love demystified. So: This is love demystified. So this is what it was all along . . . I've lived long enough to know that this is what it all comes down to: just being there. Nothing dramatic or supernatural. No quick fixes or being a "painkiller" or having the perfect one chasing you in the rain. You untangled the mysterious mess that so many people have turned love into. But in the end it's what you succinctly captured with stunning precision: "just please let me sit with you while I’m crying at commercials" And: "holding you through the scary parts" Yes! And, most amazing of all: "I will kiss you through the pain." Real life, beautifully expressed. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Pumpkin's Toothless Grin by saiom 2 years 40 weeks* ago* What brilliant symbolism! A: What brilliant symbolism! A profound mini parable that gives us much life wisdom to grow by. The takeaway for me: In the simple, unpretentious and even "flawed" vessel (animate or inanimate) there flows the greatest light. So beautiful. [ go to comment ]

Your support means so much, and I value every word you write, here and on your site. I only wish I had more time to indulge in all your stellar creations; to give them the attention they deserve.

saiom commented on: Storms of Jupiter by patriciajj 2 years 40 weeks* ago* I feel as if I am entering: I feel as if I am entering church in commenting on this masterpiece... a sacred relationship between mother and daughter In Hindu astrology which is the most ancient of all the astrological systems, Jupiter is the planet which most connects us to God.. through spiritual teachers. it is the planet of the guru. jupiter takes 12 years to go around the sun, approximately a year in each sign. The Sanskrit word for Jupiter is Brihaspati which means generator of expansion, the opposite of saturn which is generator of constriction. Where Jupiter is is spiritual wisdom, laughter, joy, learning, generosity, love. "Storms of Jupiter" https://www.postpoems.org/authors/patriciajj/poem/1103601 My mind loves most the following 3 lines but the spiritual aspect of this poem is beyond the mind. 'Soon after we emerge into the seen world, the Earth-mind sets' sail and we don't want it back, ike an icon worn out by kisses, the sky dust is still holy art: the visible side of Heaven. ''A breathing prayer was once in my arms and everything worth anything was in that minute.' ' [ go to comment ]
