Starward commented on: scare by redbrick 1 year 27 weeks* ago* No words of mine are adequate: No words of mine are adequate to speak of, or to, the poignancy of this poem, and the distress and worry you must feel for your brother. Rather than commenting on the poem as a poem, I will say, rather, that it gave me a very compelling reason to set my breakfast aside to lift him up in prayer. I, myself, have had a couple of mini-strokes; so I have some idea how frightening they can be, either to the patient or to the patient's loved ones. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Podseed Soliloquy by humanfruit 1 year 27 weeks* ago* The poetic gymnastics, the: The poetic gymnastics, the acrobatic alliteration, the experimental metrics . . . the entire trip was a uniquely satisfying challenge. Once I was deep in the rabbit hole, I was enjoying the mystifying artistry of it all, and although I can't say that I succeeded in unraveling every line, I admire your rare, edgy and audacious flights of diction that follow in the footsteps of groundbreaking, avant-garde word artists such as Allen Ginsberg who celebrated his eccentricity and wrote "without fear". These lines, for me, made me feel as if I had struck gold and impressed me as the motherload of imagination: "Murderous trance of time Wack hell out of balance" Some opulent eloquence. You rock!

Delightful, the way you bring passages from the Bible into the present and make them relatable, relevant and enlivening to readers in need of a smile and a dose of encouragement. Written with lighthearted, accessible wit interwoven with personal experience and your own descriptive powers, this lyrical pleasure made the book of Luke spring to life. A net filled with joy.

Teytonon commented on: I think I remember something by Jesster 1 year 27 weeks* ago* You’re forgettable…: You're forgettable That's what you are So forgettable Can't find your car? It must be somewhere In the parking lot But where exactly That's what you forgot Did you even take the car today? Are you sure? Really sure? You're forgettable In every way So forgettable Worse every day That's why it's so incredible That you think I'm unforgettable You wanted to tell me But you forgot What you wanted to say [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: I think I remember something by Jesster 1 year 27 weeks* ago* Thank you for posting this. : Thank you for posting this. The poem describes an emotion that all of us have experienced at some time and that many of us, I suspect, feel quite frequently. In eleven brief lines, you describe it quite precisely, but those final two lines almost jump off the screen with the power of the truth that they present and declare. [ go to comment ]
LittleLennonGurl commented on: The Queen That Should have Been by LittleLennonGurl 1 year 27 weeks* ago* The royals are a mess: I have always been a fan of Diana. She was never treated right by them and now Harry speaks out and is targeted. Not a coincidence. [ go to comment ]
Teytonon commented on: Butchers on Juries by saiom 1 year 27 weeks* ago* Another reason why..: Another reason why butchers may have not been allowed to serve on juries is some less than honest butchers have been known to put their thumbs on the scale when they'd weigh your order. This would cause the scale to go higher and you would be charged more. The last thing they want on a jury is a butcher who would put his thumb on the scales of Justice and unfairly weigh a verdict one way or another. I think you would agree it was the right decision to make. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: I Know Better by metaphorist 1 year 27 weeks* ago* This is not only a very: This is not only a very poignant poem, it is also a wise analysis of unfortunate circumstances and of the way to get to the triumphant situation described in the final stanza. Applause to you for writing and sharing this with all of us on PostPoems. I believe your poem can give hope to those who, otherwise, might live part of their lives without it. [ go to comment ]
