Starward commented on: giant's demise by redbrick 1 year 28 weeks* ago* How did I miss this beautiful: How did I miss this beautiful poem? Apparently I am more messed up than I knew. Anyhow, this Poem speaks so eloquently to my love of astronomical Poetry. And, although I have hitherto not cared for images to be attached to a poem, I think the image you have attached to this one is perfect for it, and very much is part of the reading experience.

crypticbard commented on: stars and gripes by redbrick 1 year 28 weeks* ago* Oh that is good to know,: Oh that is good to know, Starward. There is in fact another version of this a couple of poems back on the matter of the Betelguese. Hopefully that brings on a distinct nuance and feel from this one which you have so kindly responded to. Thanks most kindly. Freds. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: stars and gripes by redbrick 1 year 28 weeks* ago* If I have not told you: If I have not told you before, I will just say now that I LOVE any poem that mentions or aliudes to astronomical data, imagery, or knowledge: and this poem does that very, very well. The poem is very concise: the great American Poet, J.V. Cunningham considered that such concision (or compression, I think that is what he called it) is a proof of classical poetic talent, and you certainly prove that. You are one of PostPoems' great ones, and I applaud your poetic accomplishment. Your highly skilled verbal artistry is most certainly an example of exponential excellence. [ go to comment ]
Teytonon commented on: a robot wrote this, it wasn't really me by Jesster 1 year 28 weeks* ago* You bots think you're so: You bots think you're so smart. You think you can outsmart me, a real human being? I checked online, and it said never to respond to a bot! That allows the bot to install malware on your device that will silently collect my personal information! What do you say now, bot? A bot can never outsmart a... Oh. Damn! Foiled again by a bot!

Morningglory commented on: a robot wrote this, it wasn't really me by Jesster 1 year 28 weeks* ago* I might be a robot: I'm artificially intelligent! Wasn't born with it. Just learned behavior. [ go to comment ]

j-called commented on: Footnote: Thursday, May 6th, 1937 [Repost, Typos Corrected] by J-C4113D 1 year 28 weeks* ago* Thank you, although: Thank you, although admittedly, I came up short by not recognizing the exact date a couple of days ago. Yesterday morning, I also watched an interesting documentary in which an amateur photographer's film of the explosion had been found in an attic or such, and offered a rather interesting perspective other than the "classical" network footage that become associated with the crash. I was struck by the way the amateur film emphasized the dismal appearance of the daylight that afternoon, making the Hindenburg appear more like a ghost ship. That added a very eerie quality to the view. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: No apology necessary by SSmoothie 1 year 28 weeks* ago* The wisdom of this: The wisdom of this motivational wonder is in its balance, its reason, its inclusiveness and its highly-evolved acceptance of other paths that may differ from ours. But whatever path one chooses, you say with contagious resolve, unshrinking daring and eloquent clarity, do it without apology and do it with your entire soul: "Find a thousand Hills to die on! Have a say on everything! Freedom dies when one drowns out the other And the only compromise Is one where your soul dies Living someone else's truth" Wow! What an earth-shattering, diamond-cutting, life-affirming monument to Who We Really Are. Words to frame, to cherish, to celebrate and to grow by! In inspiring style, you certainly did light a fire under me to take that "step up to the golden truth/ One crazy old soapbox at a time" where "Forgivness is a given" (great reminder!) and freedom waits "On the other side". A revitalizing burst of beautiful, beautiful energy. [ go to comment ]

An interesting look back. [ go to comment ]
j-called commented on: + 27.225 MHz: Epigram On Joy by J-C4113D 1 year 28 weeks* ago* Once again, I find a failure: Once again, I find a failure on my part to acknowledge one of your comments. I an very, very sorry. I hope you are still speaking to me. I have not intended to fail in acknowledging your comments, but for some reason this keeps happening. Please, please forgive me. And thanks, however belatedly, for this comment. I always appreciatie your spiritually shrewd comments. [ go to comment ]

Teytonon commented on: manstrocity by redbrick 1 year 28 weeks* ago* I appreciate your curiousity..: I appreciate your curiousity. It gives me a chance to show off my virtuosity and verbosity while hopefully not my pomposity since that might cause some animosity. Thank you for your generosity. Think I'll stop this monstrosity.
