Starward commented on: door by redbrick 3 years 18 weeks* ago* The wisdom in this poem as: The wisdom in this poem as well as being profound is also awesome!!! In my present state of health (although I think this state is reverting back to a territory, and then to a wilderness, lol), I have experienced several failed sunrises, metaphorically and metaphysically. But the streaking moombeams of my past, now that I understand it better (after three years to contemplate it), are always ready to fill in for the failed sunrises until that situation is remedied. I thank you very much for posting this excellent metaphorical . . . and metaphysical . . . poem. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Idea From My Masonic Experience That I Would Like To Propose, With Some Variation, To PostPoems' Poets by Starward-Led 3 years 18 weeks* ago* Fortunately, PostPoems': Fortunately, PostPoems' archives preserve so many of those neglected Poets' poems, so there are plenty to go around.

crypticbard commented on: Brief, But Metaphorical, Prose by Starward-Led 3 years 18 weeks* ago* Poetry is quite a significant: Poetry is quite a significant Burning Bush to more than I am able to recognise, so here I plant a moment's salute to such a validation. We can but be true to the calling of yon Muse. [ go to comment ]

But we shall get there, opportunity permitting. Thank you for sharing. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: manicured thoughts by redbrick 3 years 18 weeks* ago* From dance to music to: From dance to music to poetry, these are connections to cherish and explore further on. This much appreciated feedback brings to mind the capacity of lines of verse to transform into a journey of language and beyond should we so dispose ourselves. Thank you most kindly.

Starward commented on: Not a Poem but Poetic by Spinoza 3 years 18 weeks* ago* I like your perspective quite: I like your perspective quite a bit. Genesis, John's Gospel and the anonymous Epistle to the Hebrews all declare that the Cosmos was created by the Word of God. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Footnote: Message In A Small Capsule by Starward-Led 3 years 18 weeks* ago* Thank you. As a kid, I used: Thank you. As a kid, I used to dream of writing science fiction, but was intimidated by length . . . even the length of a short story. I just couldn't sustain it. I think that was my inclination to Poetry making an early appearance before I even realized what it was. Maybe this poem was beginning to form even then (lol). Thanks again for the comment.

patriciajj commented on: Footnote: Message In A Small Capsule by Starward-Led 3 years 18 weeks* ago* Wow! You did it! By shrewdly: Wow! You did it! By shrewdly skipping to the aftermath, and with an accomplished agility that lives up to the form, you fit an epic into a capsule. Many great writers have created protracted stories around this dystopian theme, but all you had to do was take an applause-worthy snippet of conversation and turn it, gracefully, into a thriller. I do love the suggestion of a great chasm, perhaps ideological or cultural, but certainly of distance, between the worlds that have converged. Emphasizing "the" at the end spoke volumes as well. A stunning maneuver. Take a bow, fine Poet! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: barstool wobble by Pungus 3 years 18 weeks* ago* Actually enlightenment is: Actually enlightenment is getting rid of all the chatter however you want to do that. It's always a pleasure to see where your imagination takes you. Huge respect. [ go to comment ]
Teytonon commented on: Ebsen by randyjohnson 3 years 18 weeks* ago* You mention Buddy Ebsen loved..: You mentioned Buddy Ebsen loved to portray Jed Clampett. Since he took the job of acting seriously, he would really want to get into the character he was portraying. He needed to be Jed Clampett. In order to achieve that he would need to eat what Jed Clampett would. Here are the 20 dishes Buddy Ebsen ate during the run of The Beverly Hillbillies. You may turn your nose up at them, but he did live to 95. Maybe this diet had something to do with it? https://www.metv.com/quiz/the-meals-of-the-beverly-hillbillies-ranked-in-order-of-edibility [ go to comment ]
Pungus commented on: barstool wobble by Pungus 3 years 18 weeks* ago* If enlightenment in this: If enlightenment in this context holds absent-mindedness, then perhaps it is that. Regardless, I am always happy to hear you enjoyed the craft. Thank you Pat. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: manicured thoughts by redbrick 3 years 18 weeks* ago* I like your choreography of: I like your choreography of several processes, in this poem, and the lack of punctuation is very strategically shrewd, as it gives the poem (which we must read it from margin to margin, horizontally, in real time) the artistic sense that everything is going on at once, and not in a progression from first to last, left to right, or top to bottom. To do so in such a small space, with such few words, is an awesome command of language and of poetic structure. [ go to comment ]
