Starward commented on: An American Autumn by abg123 2 years 43 weeks ago
I am partial to Autumn poems;: I am partial to Autumn poems; that is, I mean to say, to good Autumn poems.  And this one is an EXCELLENT autumn poem.  Highly evocative of both the beauty and the thrill of Autumn, not one of its words is out of place, or wasted, or superfluous.

Refreshing!: . I've waited month for your art's return. The call to engage is a constant-see the world unfiltered Bravo write! I give this well constructed poem my highest accolade: YES! . With increasing frequency, the impact of nature will represent as it disrupts the electron's passage from taiwan to the brain. Winds will take out 5G transmitters as you and your house blow away. Time for the sheep to look up. Consumer is not a career. . Thanks eternally, Coffeepot, for the breath of fresh air. The ultimate goal in literary art is to improve humanity. All poetry is political. . Lady A . .

Starward commented on: The Nature of Being by humanfruit 2 years 43 weeks ago
First, let me say that I love: First, let me say that I love poems---perhaps a bit too much---that use the 2nd person form of address.  Sometimes 1st person sounds too confessional to me, and 3rd person can often sound like a short story (I violate this rule all the time in my poems), but 2nd person sounds like the Poet sharing insights with the reader.   Second, let me say that the cosmic aspect that you bring into this poem, as in some of your others, gives it a resonance like the poems of Patriciajj---and that, to me, is a very grand likeness to cultivate.  And, like Pop Stevens, you did not lead with your poem's center of gravity, as a lesser poet would have, but you wisely (and a little coyly) gave it to us in the last three lines.  Your short lines and amazing phrase combinations make this a beautiful and formidable poem.  As you continue to construct and expand your poetic achievement, this poem---I predict---will occupy one of the center positions; it will be a large skyscraper on the skyline of your poetic horizon.  And what makes this poem so very artistic is that the reader cannot separate the greatness of what you have to say from the greatness of the way you say it.
