Starward commented on: + 1ST POEMS: What They Talk About Around The Water Cooler by J-C4113D 1 year 30 weeks* ago* Thank you so much for reading: Thank you so much for reading the poem and giving a comment. I was a little nervous that the poem would not function effectively the way I wrote it, but your response to it tells me not to fret further. I am very, very grateful to you for taking the time to read the poem and comment on it. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Amor Omnibus Idem, Vergil Wrote by J-C4113D 1 year 30 weeks* ago* Thank you for your kind words: Thank you for your kind words and the way they validate my purpose in this series. I was amazed to find that particular line in Vergil; but, when one considers that even the greatest ancient Poet believed that Love is in us all (and therefore, all Loves become not only equal but related in kinship), I cannot omit referring to his poetic authority in my poems. Because I lack Latin (except for the handful of words I have picked up over the decades), I know far less about Vergil than I could wish. But I am very glad to know the little that I do know about him. In Rome, he moved among the highest circles of power without compromising to any of them. In our society, he would likely be persecuted, shunned, or ostracized as a "weirdo." [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Some Things Beyond Dimension by patriciajj 1 year 30 weeks* ago* There's never a need to: There's never a need to apologize. I fully understand that you're preoccupied with the business of living, as we all are, plus your physical distress. Your health and well-being come first! Still I am incredibly grateful, and often inspired, by the magnanimous courtesy and consideration you show me as well as others here. Of course you're never under any obligation to respond to anything, and if anyone had an excuse to ignore a reply, it would be you, but uncommon courtesy results in uncommon kindness, and trust me when I say it does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. So thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty and raising the bar on etiquette, for taking the time to leave a response, and a stunning one at that, and also for keeping me believing in humanity and in myself. That's one of the greatest gifts one could ever hope for. Prayers and Light [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: + 1ST POEMS: What They Talk About Around The Water Cooler by J-C4113D 1 year 30 weeks* ago* If there's some imaginative: If there's some imaginative new way for you to construct an engaging poem, you'll find it. This was a pure pleasure to read (or rather, overhear) and a less crafty wordsmith might have fumbled it, not made the snippets of conversation so realistic and certainly not even conceived of that bombshell ending that tied it all together with seamless panache. It was truly cunning, the way you interlaced stories that could have been ripped from today's headlines with topics relevant to the ancient time period, certainly adding to the element of surprise later. Pure genius. Love it! [ go to comment ]
Teytonon commented on: a robot wrote this, it wasn't really me by Jesster 1 year 30 weeks* ago* Until today..: Until today, I held a deep, dark secret But now, you know I am not a poet Look closer and you'll find Everything I do is by design I am a bot! That's just what I am! Please let me explain A bot is just AI... [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Amor Omnibus Idem, Vergil Wrote by J-C4113D 1 year 30 weeks* ago* There are skilled advocates: There are skilled advocates and there are skilled poets, but when the two talents are combined, I can feel Heaven open. For too long the very purpose of our existence ("Love, the Poet wrote, indwells all of us the same") has been defiled by certain words, but now an eloquent voice stands between irrational fear and loving people who just want to express their purpose in peace. Some may be tired of hearing "love is love" but that doesn't make it any less true. Fortunately, there are Poets who bring forth truth clothed in new garments of beauty such as this, and I feel hope. A resplendent and evocative call for compassion. [ go to comment ]
