patriciajj commented on: *Yet [/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; On Mark 4:39 [for my Friend and Brother, Stephen]** by S74rw4rd-13d 1 year 40 weeks* ago* I am certain that, as you: I am certain that, as you wrote these words, Spirit filled your mind and heart and Heaven rejoiced. I felt lifted above the Earth as I read this immaculately sublime, truly inspired, psalm-like tribute. Be abundantly blessed, Celestial Poet. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Devoured In Venice by S74rw4rd-13d 1 year 40 weeks* ago* I've never seen the film, but: I've never seen the film, but if you appreciate the story, I'm certain it has great merit. However, I find it unacceptable that the author showed any kind of intolerance and narrowness in his writing. Unfortunately the brown shirts, under new a name, have made a terrifying comeback and I'm sure that somewhere in the US, Mann's novella is targeted, if not banned. I'm glad you are keeping it alive through your poetry. It was a joy and a privilege to comment on this compelling, deeply moving, work. [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Devoured In Venice by S74rw4rd-13d 1 year 40 weeks* ago* Thank you very much. I: Thank you very much. I really appreciate your comment on this one. I am both fascinated by Mann's story, primarily due to the presence of Tadzio and Jaschu, and repelled by it due to Mann's shabby disrespect for them at the end. I think he gave in to prudery at the end. When Joe Goebels and the clowns of tthe Third Reich started burning books on May 10th of '33, Mann's novella was among them. Despite its flaws, it dd not deserve that kind of treatment; and, despite Goebels' best efforts, it did not die with the book burnings. Have you seen the Visconti film? It is beautiful, although the eventual breach between Tadzio and Jaschu is difficult to watch. I usually rewind the DVR before I get there. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Unquiet Dawn by patriciajj 1 year 40 weeks* ago* You are an important: You are an important contributor to cosmic self-discovery as well! Can't thank you enough for all your encouragement. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: jet sking in a hurricane - unfinished by catclo15 1 year 40 weeks* ago* If one is dazzled by a: If one is dazzled by a bombastic, cavalier, boastful daredevil, she would be a tough act to follow, but a meaningful relationship is so much more. This is an excellent character study and a clever, condensed expression that could stand alone or be continued. Enjoyed! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Behold The Light! I Shout! by ramonathompsont 1 year 40 weeks* ago* A striking, angelic and: A striking, angelic and exalting invitation into the light. I imagined the shackles of darkness falling and Divine hope rising in the last stanza. A message well sent! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Devoured In Venice by S74rw4rd-13d 1 year 40 weeks* ago* So much brews under the: So much brews under the surface of this tranquil, atmospheric and enveloping scene that is felt as much as it is seen through the eyes of a wistful observer. Even joyless puritans cannot defile the perilously beautiful, immaculately emotive moment on the beach, with details such as oysters, possible pearls on the beach and formal attire, unfettered or discarded, do double duty as powerful symbols. The delicately smoldering images and the brilliant personification of a sky upstaged by young love was poetry, and storytelling, at its finest. A magnificent addition to the series. [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: Unquiet Dawn by patriciajj 1 year 40 weeks* ago* As you write your poems, you: As you write your poems, you are working along side the Hubble and Webb outer space telescopes. But they are mere machines and can neither interpret nor appreciate what they send forth. You, however, are sentient---one of those consciousnesses that have been chosen for cosmic explication.

S74rw4rd commented on: Unquiet Dawn by patriciajj 1 year 40 weeks* ago* The poetic edifice that you: The poetic edifice that you have been constructing, poem by poem, over the years is, I believe, incontrovertible proof that one of the primary functions of the poetic vocation is to participate in, and advance, the process of the Cosmos explaining itself to itself. You not only speak to humanity on earth, you speak to and for star systems, galaxies, nebulae, rogue comets, and meteor showers. Two to three thousand years ago, Poets created the myths by which stars and constellations have been named. Now, the responsibility to explicate what has been named becomes a new Poetic process and vocation, for which you are eminently qualified. This is why, in my opinion, it is vitally important that every poem you complete takes its rightful place on the internet (hopefully, postpoems). [ go to comment ]
Savvart commented on: You My Love, Are Poetry by Savvart 1 year 40 weeks* ago* Thank you so much. This is: Thank you so much. This is actually a poem I wrote in 1981 and it's the first time it has been presented. I have also placed it on my youtube channel. Thx again :) [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: You My Love, Are Poetry by Savvart 1 year 40 weeks* ago* I have been reading Poetry: I have been reading Poetry since April of 1973. And in all that time of reading, I cannot remember encountering a poem that compared the Beloved to Poetry. The whole poem is excellently orchestrated: the rhyme scheme, the flow of the sense from line to line, and the delicacy of the emotion conveyed---all of it is choreographed, or perfectly balanced like the gears and escapement of a fine clock before the digitial age. I applaud your accomplishment here. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Unquiet Dawn by patriciajj 1 year 40 weeks* ago* You were spot on in your: You were spot on in your assessment of my core message, and I couldn't feel more gratified that you not only used your mental laser-pointer to illuminate it, but presented it with overwhelming magnificence. A poet couldn't ask for more, but there was more . . . After grasping my burning intention for many of my expressions, you defined my overall theme of unity as a "Cosmology". Just where, starbound Poet, do I begin to thank you for seeing and appreciating that? I'm also thrilled by your very kind reassurance that my processes work. That means more than you can imagine and more than I could, in one lifetime, thank you for. Peace and Light. [ go to comment ]
