patriciajj commented on: mimesis by torchlight by redbrick 3 years 21 weeks* ago* Dazzled again by your: Dazzled again by your signature wizardry. So much to ignite all the senses and set the imagination running at full speed. Amazing! I don't just read your poems; I experience them, and I love that. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: RESCUING BOO-BOO by georgeschaefer 3 years 21 weeks* ago* This terrifying poem reminds: This terrifying poem reminds me of a short story by Theodore Sturgeon entitled, "The Professor's Teddy Bear." It is about a sickly child who sleeps with, and wakes up to, a teddy bear possessed by an evil alient entity. It appeared in a collection entitled Tales Of The Unexpected, which I purchased in May of 1971 while on an overnight class field trip to Put-In-Bay. It was a collection of ghost or macabre stories, and "Teddy Bear" was one of the most terrifying. The collection is hard to find (but would be well worth the effort), but the story is available on the internet. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Routine by lyrycsyntyme 3 years 21 weeks* ago* In the second person point of: In the second person point of view, we are in the center of your brilliantly crafted, painfully clear and exact avalanche of survival that repeats itself daily. We understand that everything changed in a moment; now what used to be brief feels too long; what used to be easy is a Sisyphean struggle. Clean-cutting, haunting and crushing in its trueness, for some this will be a lesson in empathy and for others relatable comfort that they are not alone. It's always a pleasure to read your excellent work. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: RESCUING BOO-BOO by georgeschaefer 3 years 21 weeks* ago* Wow: Disturbingly powerful. If Rod Serling wrote poetry, perhaps. A vote cast for the long, downward spiral suggested by social genetic theory. Survival of the fittest. Among humans, the fittest are often those who can hurdle over the bodies of others.

Starward commented on: Celebrating June 16th by Starward-Led 3 years 21 weeks* ago* This choked me up so much, I: This choked me up so much, I am not able to respond to it adequately. I need to go offsite for just a while to collect myself. Thank you for the constant and consistent blessing of your friendship. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Epigram To Celebrate June 16th, 1816 by Starward-Led 3 years 21 weeks* ago* Thank you so very much for: Thank you so very much for those words. That we share a respect for her is one of the many planks in our friendship. And in a way, I felt flattered that my faculty advisor---who was said to have maintained a long list of names of students whom, he believed, had disrespected him in any way (I would have been at the list's top)---brought her into the conversation for me. Oddly enough, at the luncheon, not only was Mary Shelley mentioned, but we also discussed Mary Kelly, and he begrudged me that as well. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Some Few Words For A Malingering Tourist by Starward-Led 3 years 21 weeks* ago* Deeply honored by your: Deeply honored by your steadfast support. Always a pleasure. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Celebrating June 16th by Starward-Led 3 years 21 weeks* ago* Sending belated birthday: Sending belated birthday wishes that this year brings you the fulfilment of all your hopes and dreams. It's clear by that June 16 is related to significant events in the world of literature, so, like a statesman being born on the fourth of July, it only seems fitting that you would make your grand entrance into the world on a day that the world's collection of great writing took a huge leap forward. To those who have been touched by your luminous pen and generous encouragement, every day is a celebration. Ever closer to the stars, you shine now and forever. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Epigram To Celebrate June 16th, 1816 by Starward-Led 3 years 21 weeks* ago* I can't think of a better way: I can't think of a better way to celebrate your special day than to write a tribute to the one who ignited your imagination, led you to your creative path and helped create the stellar writer we enjoy today. Of course, you can call such a consequential force in your life "my girl". And it looks like you had the last laugh over the pretentious faculty members mired in their shortsighted view of what is great writing. Now all these years later, your talent still manifests in sparkling, engaging works such as this. Thank you Mary Shelley! A pure delight to read and comment on this. [ go to comment ]
