SSmoothie commented on: Moonset at Winter's End by patriciajj 2 years 31 weeks* ago* Its been too long So much: Its been too long So much going on Sorry dear, Now let's enjoy your take Life and fear So many great lines and ideas Duality and insight I loved this: "searches the nonnegotiable emptiness—" Just wow. The wolf has nothing on you but it leads the way to the hunting grounds... For clues to you Who you are Begins and ends Where the old you ends, and new you begins... A challenging and inspiring journey... Hugss [ go to comment ]
SSmoothie commented on: Unfinished Work by osiriss- 2 years 31 weeks* ago* I love the ending drawing in: I love the ending drawing in the reader by addressing them directly leaving them wonder and emphasise the unfinished work. Alot of gobledy goop with some real gems planted inside - insights. Powerful ones. Enjoyed the experience of this poem. I hate AI. [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: Soft and Final Landing by patriciajj 2 years 31 weeks* ago* There are always going to: There are always going to readers who either scorn, misunderstand, or condemn your poems. And keep in mind that even Jesus was accused of being in league with the devil during His ministry. I guess that slaphappy stupidity comes with the territory. And that territory, please remember, is to help explain the Cosmos to itself. No single Poet can do the complete job; all of us who are called to that vocation have to do the part assigned to us. Remember how Adam, in Eden, was called to name the animals. That task being finished, we are called, as his sons and daughters, to name and explicate the Cosmos and its many parts: and it is everything from two lovers holding hands to two stars arising from the sa,e nebula and orbiting each other. That can be explicated scientifically, but it also quietly requires---even demands---Poetry to also describe this mechanism. This is the vocation to which you have been called, and until your final poem is written, you will have work to do. [ go to comment ]

J-C4113d commented on: *Yet [/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; A Poem To The EARLY CHRISTIANS** by Starward-Led 2 years 31 weeks* ago* Thank you for commenting. : Thank you for commenting. The Early Christians are very important to me; I think that is why I incline to Orthodox Christianity, because it feels more connected to them than the Western version. [ go to comment ]
J-C4113d commented on: Awake by signet 2 years 31 weeks* ago* Although I cannot quite: Although I cannot quite interpret the tenth line, I think the rest of the poem is magnificent. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Soft and Final Landing by patriciajj 2 years 31 weeks* ago* First, it is an extreme: First, it is an extreme pleasure to have you back. One doesn't realize just what a vital pillar of support and inspiration they have until it is gone, but the deepest sorrow was knowing that you must have been suffering greatly to have been away from your poetic community. I prayed often and I continue to pray with great urgency while you still struggle. Welcome back! And thank you for finding my latest post. Not only did you pinpoint the soul of of my work, but you affirmed the nucleus with two expertly insightful and striking analogies, one contemporary and one Biblical. Then, with pristine understanding, you zeroed in on my purpose, my mission, and declared it accomplished. I'm overwhelmed and humbled. How can I begin to thank you? To my dismay, readers have often misunderstood my work, even connecting it somehow to something sacrilegious, but you don't read more into my poems than was intended, look for devils around every corner or skew my words according to a narrow belief system. You simplify, illuminate and appreciate. Just what I needed. Like "the cosmos going about its business" my gratitude knows no bounds. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Raise Your Voice, Take That Stand by LittleLennonGurl 2 years 31 weeks* ago* Your words and your energy: Your words and your energy pulse with the same indignation I often feel when the farcical realities of our time hit hard. You give a voice, unflinching and resolute, to the outrage every sane person should feel in the face of tyranny. We need you! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: rosy cheeked by redbrick 2 years 31 weeks* ago* We get the whole picture in: We get the whole picture in shimmering and minimal stanzas: the allure, the glorious obsession, the fulfillment. And it all began with a glimpse of beauty and ends with . . . well, that's an open-ended question you shrewdly injected. A brilliant poem of attraction. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: long distance for now by redbrick 2 years 31 weeks* ago* I love the wry wit behind the: I love the wry wit behind the word "random" when all the snippets of events, in sets of three, are highly significant, urgent and emotionally important in the grand scheme of things. Putting "up memories with thumbtacks" adds up to a meaningful relationship, long distance or otherwise. An instructive and cleverly composed view of life. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: *Yet [/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; A Poem To The EARLY CHRISTIANS** by Starward-Led 2 years 31 weeks* ago* I'm delighted that you're: I'm delighted that you're making up for lost time and posting so many new poems including this rousing and victorious tribute to those who still inspire the faithful today. No doubt the blessed gang will be waiting for you with open arms! [ go to comment ]
