Gladly, and thanks to you for: Gladly, and thanks to you for posting your adolescent poems, and for setting an example that I really wished I had seen before 1978.

It is indeed a privilege to: It is indeed a privilege to share in the enjoyment of this poem. I am so glad to hear that you "had a lot of fun writing this poem!" It is also my belief that it is among your best ones. I have often desired to enquire of the learned astronomers myself!

In my teen years, I wrote: In my teen years, I wrote several poems, also.  I wish they had been as good as yours are here, and I wish I had been as smart as you obviously were then---to save my early poems as you saved yours.  There ought to be a book of advice written for young poets:  save everything . . . discard nothing . . . clip multiple drafts of any poem together . . . invest in folders---many, many folders.

Starward commented on: What’s in a name? by Teytonon 1 year 29 weeks ago
Usually, I do not care for: Usually, I do not care for acrostic Poetry, but this poem is a wonderful exception to my usual preference.  It is a great tribute to the great playwright, and it obviously required some deliberate planning rather than just being tossed together.  I applaud your accomplishment here.

Patricia is not only a great: Patricia is not only a great Poet, she also has a good eye for poetic talent.  The words of her comment are so well deployed that I have nothing to say to add to it.   So I will also state, quite enthusiastically, that I agree with her assessment of this wonderful poem.

This treasure deserves far: This treasure deserves far more recognition than this one raving fan can give you. I mean that. I don't have the motive, time or strength to blow smoke, so believe me when I say: The brilliance, the quotable, praiseworthy merit of the meaning crystallized in form and beauty should be displayed prominently somewhere. Immortalized somehow.   Sincerely stunned.

You certainly triumphed with: You certainly triumphed with this regal and delicate form. Focusing on the fleeting enchantment, the ephemeral bliss, of a soft breeze and using precise and sensory words, you ignited the senses and created not just a poem, but an experience. Magical work.

Teytonon commented on: Two Morning's Aftermath by OliveTheOlive 1 year 30 weeks ago
Great poem! Reminds me when I was in high school.: Great poem! Reminds me when I was in high school. Everybody knew, English was always the first class you had each day. We all knew it. English. First class. Every day. But then they changed it. No more English first class. For two mornings, after math!
