S74rw4rd commented on: The Way You Look At Me by metaphorist 1 year 15 weeks* ago* This is a lovely poem, but: This is a lovely poem, but the final two lines brought a wry smile to my face: because, frankly, I doubt you have many faults and quirks; instead, I think you have, rather, a very poetic soul . . . and if the world interprets that as faults and quirks, so be it. Although I do not keep up with your poems as well as I should these days (I fault my declining health as a primary reason), I already know that you are one of this site's most excellent Poets.

life_used_to_be... commented on: Folklore by RainerBukowski 1 year 15 weeks* ago* Hadn't read this one in: Hadn't read this one in probably 15 years. But shit it's good. That last stanza is a gut bunch to the sad and lonley. [ go to comment ]
j-called commented on: Rehearsal for Something Better by patriciajj 1 year 15 weeks* ago* I am always glad to see: I am always glad to see multiple comments on your poems. It reminds me of how the JWT photographs a star multiple times, and then the images are merged for an enhancement of detail. Future scholars (and there will be, I am convinced of it, future scholars looking at your work) will read these comments on multiple aspects of your poems the way astronomers look at the JWT multiple images.

lyrycsyntyme commented on: What’s your wads worth? by Teytonon 1 year 15 weeks* ago* Thank you, I appreciate that,: Thank you, I appreciate that, and I'm with you. It's good to share these exchanges, and I think we're largely pretty lucky to have a unique variety of fellow poets here. We make a good community, I think : ) [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: He is such a bitch,man by Teytonon 1 year 15 weeks* ago* The Mt. Dew line definitely: The Mt. Dew line definitely made me laugh. We are ill as a society, too often taking joy in each other's demise. Thankfully this twisted 'celebration' was only over soccer. But we've all seen people celebrate more serious losses.

Teytonon commented on: Timeless (012) by h1s4k0 1 year 15 weeks* ago* Hi. I tried the audio link..: Hi. I tried the audio link, it worked fine, no problem. In my opinion, the audio didn't add or detract anything from the words on the page. They stand on their own as good writing. Have a great day. [ go to comment ]
h1s4k0 commented on: Timeless (012) by h1s4k0 1 year 15 weeks* ago* Audio Linked: Could you give the audio link a try? If it works and you give it a listen, do let me know how your opinion shifted of the piece (if at all) Graciously, H [ go to comment ]

What a gift for literary analysis you have that is only surpassed by your own poetic skill! And for the highly valued encouragement, a thousand times: thank you! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: What to Pack for Your Departure by patriciajj 1 year 15 weeks* ago* Thank you for the honor of: Thank you for the honor of your presence and your radiant addition to Andrea's remembrance. It means so much, superb Poet. Many times: thank you! [ go to comment ]
Teytonon commented on: What’s your wads worth? by Teytonon 1 year 15 weeks* ago* I won’t worry about Paul..: I won't worry about Paul, I take heart, see He can ride with me in my Go-Kart, see? Yes, me and Paul in my kart, whee! One of the reasons I enjoy this site is because of the opportunity to make the acquaintance of people like you. Your comments have piqued my curiosity about Mr Longfellow and his poetry, reactions to it, etc. Something I have very limited knowledge of. I'm looking forward to learning something new, always a good thing imo. Thank you for commenting. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: What’s your wads worth? by Teytonon 1 year 15 weeks* ago* You're welcome and: ..not taking you for ride. Especially not with Paul. He got captured pretty early in that venture (he only got about 3 miles into his ride!). Nor with the other really famous Paul, who apparently was killed in a car crash, or so I've heard is revealed if you listen to Helter Skelter backwards ; ) Don't want to ride with Paul's, apparently. The poem series has it's share of beautiful features and redeeming qualities, but also passes on certain prejudices about Native Americans, including ideas about savagery and their removal being a necessity for civilizatioin's future. It carries importance, if nothing else, for helping us to have a better view into how "society" at the time viewed the history and plight of Native Americans (especially since Longfellow's piece was a huge hit that rose him to stardom). It didn't also inspire what I think is one of the more emotion and thought provoking paintings of the 19th century - Departure of Hiawatha. [ go to comment ]
Teytonon commented on: What’s your wads worth? by Teytonon 1 year 15 weeks* ago* Are you taking me for a Ride?..: Are you taking me for a Ride?
