Starward commented on: Novelty Is Not A Good Thing by S74rw4rd-13d 2 years 41 weeks* ago* Thank you for your comment. : Thank you for your comment. And yes, I agree. But what began as somewhat disturbing information---the potential danger toward which I was drifting was turned, by God, to a teachable moment right after I left the doctor's office. And this is a significant time of the year for me---the season when, in 1976, my friendship with Cerulean, solidified and began to draw me out from under the shadows of my parents and my (then) circumstances. And then, the same July in which we celebrated the nation's two hundredth anniversary became the first month of my independence from what had been a very mundane and repressed existence. Please forgive my verbosity, and thank you very much for commenting. [ go to comment ]
SSmoothie commented on: Earth Cry by patriciajj 2 years 41 weeks* ago* Just gorgeous the collective: Just gorgeous! the collective 'we' the extension of life and creation... boredom.... is so underrated as an inspiration... the all spark exploring itself in countless ways for countless aeons and still, nothing prepares for the glorious lines so simple yet profoundly beautiful - "every stalk of marsh grass and every pearl of rain and every maple, twisted into a visual song, is the same Love creating and loving Itself." An incredible exploration of beauty, metaphors and the great question what we are doing here... And then In the soft insanity of awe, in music heard with the eyes, in the universe that shifts with one slow step of the crane... I so get this its a vernacular vein running through my poetry the soft insanity of awe... just brilliant I wish I wrote it! There really is no higher compliment. I loved this comparison of endles moments in even a crane going about its days all of it relevant like a butterfly flapping its wings a ripple that grows in the creation of creation. Just gorgeous. Expertly done, drops of brilliance in a profoundly beautiful rendition of the meaning of life and its exploration. Bravo. [ go to comment ]

SSmoothie commented on: pampers by Jesster 2 years 41 weeks* ago* Gratitude no matter how small: Gratitude no matter how small is such a powerful thing and such a powerless thing if there is none! Succinct but message recoeved! Noice! [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Novelty Is Not A Good Thing by S74rw4rd-13d 2 years 41 weeks* ago* Just when I began to wonder: Just when I began to wonder this post kept my mind from wandering. Sometimes things become quite clear during a health scare and such. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: stars and gripes by redbrick 2 years 41 weeks* ago* You have been putting up a: You have been putting up a tremendous fight, any lesser gumptioned person would just wither away. That to me is a true inspiration as we live in ever increasingly trying times. At times it feels like 'they were the worst of times and they were getting worser still....' kind of feel. Dickens would turn in his grave several times over. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: giant's demise by redbrick 2 years 41 weeks* ago* Thanks Starward. This image: Thanks Starward. This image is an actual one from the Betelguese flare in the 90s I think it was. For the unaware it has been posted as a visual to accompany the poem to round the experience, or at least in the hope to give more for those that may require it. I suppose the more metaphorical a text a visual anchor may aid in the reading or it also could very well backfire in the hands of the highly imaginative. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: stars and gripes by redbrick 2 years 41 weeks* ago* I am so sorry for missing the: I am so sorry for missing the Belteguese poem, and I have just visited it and commented. I am sorry I am not keeping up well with reading; please forgive me. However, your Poems that I have read continue to remind me that you are one of PostPoems' great ones, and I am very grateful for the reading experiences you give us, and I applaud your literary achievement.

Starward commented on: giant's demise by redbrick 2 years 41 weeks* ago* How did I miss this beautiful: How did I miss this beautiful poem? Apparently I am more messed up than I knew. Anyhow, this Poem speaks so eloquently to my love of astronomical Poetry. And, although I have hitherto not cared for images to be attached to a poem, I think the image you have attached to this one is perfect for it, and very much is part of the reading experience.

crypticbard commented on: stars and gripes by redbrick 2 years 41 weeks* ago* Oh that is good to know,: Oh that is good to know, Starward. There is in fact another version of this a couple of poems back on the matter of the Betelguese. Hopefully that brings on a distinct nuance and feel from this one which you have so kindly responded to. Thanks most kindly. Freds. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: stars and gripes by redbrick 2 years 41 weeks* ago* If I have not told you: If I have not told you before, I will just say now that I LOVE any poem that mentions or aliudes to astronomical data, imagery, or knowledge: and this poem does that very, very well. The poem is very concise: the great American Poet, J.V. Cunningham considered that such concision (or compression, I think that is what he called it) is a proof of classical poetic talent, and you certainly prove that. You are one of PostPoems' great ones, and I applaud your poetic accomplishment. Your highly skilled verbal artistry is most certainly an example of exponential excellence. [ go to comment ]
Teytonon commented on: a robot wrote this, it wasn't really me by Jesster 2 years 41 weeks* ago* You bots think you're so: You bots think you're so smart. You think you can outsmart me, a real human being? I checked online, and it said never to respond to a bot! That allows the bot to install malware on your device that will silently collect my personal information! What do you say now, bot? A bot can never outsmart a... Oh. Damn! Foiled again by a bot!

Morningglory commented on: a robot wrote this, it wasn't really me by Jesster 2 years 41 weeks* ago* I might be a robot: I'm artificially intelligent! Wasn't born with it. Just learned behavior. [ go to comment ]
j-called commented on: we're living in a meridian world by redbrick 2 years 41 weeks* ago* I always admire how evocative: I always admire how evocative your language is, and how you always select very powerful words to carry out the poem's function. [ go to comment ]
