crypticbard commented on: Summer’s Bones. by sweetwater 2 days 19 hours* ago* I love that the poem develops: I love that the poem develops with each line the 'bones' of summer. Being a fan of autumn, myself, this has been a delightful poem to read. The line: "glistened blades of jewelled eye," is quite a beauty. The mottling entwining is a wonderful transition-melding together of seasons. Thanks for sharing. /Rik. [ go to comment ]

crypticbard commented on: Ode to a Ferryman by crypticbard 2 days 21 hours* ago* The coy koi swam in languid: Thank you so much for giving attention to both the content and the structure of this poem. It is particularly exciting to have innovated on a traditional form, not that this was the aim. Rather, the flow and the lines had more to do with it than intentionally seeking for something new. As it turns out it suits quite well. Thanks for that instructive and validating appraisal. The coy koi swam in languid pools of joy. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: ENORMOUS ORB by georgeschaefer 3 days 1 hour* ago* With casual grace, wit and: With casual grace, wit and perception, you expressed that profound feeling of humility and astonishment that seizes us when we ponder our lives "on a huge planet/ an enormous orb/ with billions of others/ to share my fortune", and what a flawless hit this is: "I am stoned/ in the presence of its magnitude". Yes. It's like that. A delightful introspection. [ go to comment ]
