S74rw4rd commented on: Summer by rachel 2 years 18 weeks* ago* I just had to revisit this: I just had to revisit this one. It is very compelling in the way that only the most powerful poetry can be, yet the details of the romance---and especially those final seven lines---are delicately presented in a very quiet way that absolutely confirms the truth of the emotion that lives in this poem. I have been reading Poetry for fifty years as of this past April: so I think I have some credibility to say, with utter sincerity, this is one of the finest Love poems (either ancient or modern, I admire them all across all eras of History) I have ever encountered anywhere at any time. I have added it to the list of "Favoritea" on my laptop so that I can revisit . . . and I do, most certainly, plan to revisit . . . . [ go to comment ]

S74rw4rd commented on: Summer by rachel 2 years 18 weeks* ago* This is exquisitely, even: This is exquisitely, even achingly, beautiful; and those last seven lines are triumphantly comforting in the face of all that you suffered. I really like this poem; let me repeat for emphasis---I really like this poem!!! [ go to comment ]

S74rw4rd commented on: Constant Yelling by Nolarak 2 years 18 weeks* ago* During my childhood, I walked: During my childhood, I walked on eggshells all the time. I realized at a very, very early age (sometime prior to kindergarten) that I was unable, and would always be unable, to fulfill my parents' expectations. There was so much I could not disclose to them. But, forty-eight years ago (as of the 13th of this month), I told them I wanted to be a poet (as opposed to my earlier ambition to be a writer of horror and/or science fiction stories); I said this to them on a Monday evening, during dinner, and the aghast expression on their faces was so amusing that I could not help giggling (and did not even try to suppress the response). Poetry was one of the four cardinal sins in their little (and belittling world); and the fact that I not only inclined to it, but openly admitted the ambition, struck them as an ultimate betrayal, Yes, those eggshells are very, very familiar to me, and very much a part of my memories from childhood and adolescence. I am sorry you had to experience them as well. [ go to comment ]

lyrycsyntyme commented on: Blessing in Disguise by metaphorist 2 years 18 weeks* ago* A very good poem touching on: A very good poem touching on growth and the more fulfilling places roads often lead. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: reading the room by redbrick 2 years 18 weeks* ago* For sure the Illiad was a bit: For sure the Illiad was a bit of a headache similar to the novel Gone With the Wind what for the sheer length of lines. It probably takes a rare talent to keep our attention and keep us entertained simulaneously. Add that to the slow nature of the reading process so there is something to be grateful for with regards to each generation's "core audience." [ go to comment ]
