Starward commented on: No Mercy Today by satishverma 3 years 21 weeks* ago* Your metaphors and similes: Your metaphors and similes are always so well phrased. [ go to comment ]
j-ninetyfour commented on: empty bookends by redbrick 3 years 21 weeks* ago* What a haunting metaphor of,: What a haunting metaphor of, or for, despair you have created here. I particularly like the word play in the first line, and between the fifth and seventh lines. Your customary verbal skill is well displayed in the poem. [ go to comment ]
j-ninetyfour commented on: Lords of the Bread Pt 1 by lyrycsyntyme 3 years 21 weeks* ago* As a reader, I would most: As a reader, I would most certainly hope that an expansion of it might be in the works! [ go to comment ]
j-ninetyfour commented on: Routine by lyrycsyntyme 3 years 21 weeks* ago* Although I, too, am mostly: Although I, too, am mostly confined to a single room in my house due to my medical difficulty, the intense and even poignant detail of your poem made me realize that my situation is not nearly as bad as sometimes, when I am in a rotten mood, I like to think of it. Thanks for the lesson in reality! This is one of Poetry's most ancient functions, to point out the truth that some of us obscure to ourselves through the mental and emotional subterfuges.

j-ninetyfour commented on: WHY WE STILL DON'T CARE by joy 3 years 21 weeks* ago* This poem contains tremendous: This poem contains tremendous wisdom. I now have seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren (those two make me feel old), and I couldn't care less about gender, or identity, or any other details like that. They are gifts from God, and how God has made them is how God has made them. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: 9:47 AM by georgeschaefer 3 years 21 weeks* ago* One of my three most favorite: One of my three most favorite Poets, Wallace Stevens, once wrote that one of the purposes of Poetry was to help people live through their lives. In this poem, you demonstrate how to do that in a way that, in my opinion, old Stevens himself would heartily applaud and cheer. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: 9:47 AM by georgeschaefer 3 years 21 weeks* ago* Sir, you are a true Poet, and: Sir, you are a true Poet, and I applaud you: from a catalogue of ordinary experiences on an ordinary 21st century day (perhaps overcast or dismal, or that is how I imagine it, as I read through this), you have constructed a poem of shrewd observation and poignant wisdom. This poem reminds me of Phil Larkin's best stuff; although, through your poem's final two lines, you achieve the escape from bitterness and disdain that Larkin never fully achieved or managed. Bravo!!! [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Lords of the Bread Pt 1 by lyrycsyntyme 3 years 21 weeks* ago* Thank you for reading it,: Thank you for reading it, Starward. I would love to build it out into something grander that even carried an ounce of such lore. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Lords of the Bread Pt 1 by lyrycsyntyme 3 years 21 weeks* ago* The coy brevity of this poem: The coy brevity of this poem seems like some ancient inscription allusive to an even more ancient legend. [ go to comment ]
georgeschaefer commented on: 9:47 AM by georgeschaefer 3 years 21 weeks* ago* just existing in this savage: just existing in this savage society as best I can [ go to comment ]
georgeschaefer commented on: DON’T HOLD GRUDGES by georgeschaefer 3 years 21 weeks* ago* You end up missing the person: You end up missing the person and stupid pride prevents you from friendship again. But hey, you only lost a beneficial friendship. You still have your stupid, worthless fucking pride. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Today by Tortured_Poet 3 years 22 weeks* ago* I appreciate your words and: I appreciate your words and your situation. I had a day like this not that long ago. The thing to hold on to is that, sometimes, the sun takes a day off from coming up for us. But that vacation away from our lives always ends. A fresh cycle begins. Take care. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: Vanishing in the Blazing Night by patriciajj 3 years 22 weeks* ago* Thank you for the kind: Thank you for the kind words.
