Starward commented on: What’s in a name? by Teytonon 2 years 43 weeks ago
Usually, I do not care for: Usually, I do not care for acrostic Poetry, but this poem is a wonderful exception to my usual preference.  It is a great tribute to the great playwright, and it obviously required some deliberate planning rather than just being tossed together.  I applaud your accomplishment here.

Patricia is not only a great: Patricia is not only a great Poet, she also has a good eye for poetic talent.  The words of her comment are so well deployed that I have nothing to say to add to it.   So I will also state, quite enthusiastically, that I agree with her assessment of this wonderful poem.

This treasure deserves far: This treasure deserves far more recognition than this one raving fan can give you. I mean that. I don't have the motive, time or strength to blow smoke, so believe me when I say: The brilliance, the quotable, praiseworthy merit of the meaning crystallized in form and beauty should be displayed prominently somewhere. Immortalized somehow.   Sincerely stunned.

You certainly triumphed with: You certainly triumphed with this regal and delicate form. Focusing on the fleeting enchantment, the ephemeral bliss, of a soft breeze and using precise and sensory words, you ignited the senses and created not just a poem, but an experience. Magical work.

Said the firefly to the star,: Said the firefly to the star, " we are of the same light, but not of equal power, yet I have no envy, only admiration."  That about says it, I just read and smile here, thank you for sharing.

Teytonon commented on: Two Morning's Aftermath by OliveTheOlive 2 years 43 weeks ago
Great poem! Reminds me when I was in high school.: Great poem! Reminds me when I was in high school. Everybody knew, English was always the first class you had each day. We all knew it. English. First class. Every day. But then they changed it. No more English first class. For two mornings, after math!

This spare and expertly: This spare and expertly constructed social commentary hit me hard. I'm still haunted by the unyielding self-righteousness of the church at a time when a family desperately needed compassion, and how that outrage effected a new generation.   I'm rarely impacted this much by a poem. I love the blunt eloquence and concise power of it. First rate work. Perfection.

Hi.: Hi. Thank you for responding. Did you have a chance to read anything I have done? Curious to hear what you think. You're a very good writer if you don't mind me saying so. I would like to chat more, but I see by your name this is not a good time. What? Amy Sisson Riberdy = Amy is in bed, ssorry. You need to do something about that extra s. It's messing the whole thing up!

patriciajj commented on: Playing A Dangerous Game by ramonathompsont 2 years 43 weeks ago
I was spellbound throughout: I was spellbound throughout this ominous story about a game that is certainly no joke. Your flair for eloquently sinister drama kept the lines rolling fast while the suggestion of real peril at the end added some shivers and mystery.   Well-written and engaging. Enjoyed!

Your talent for transferring: Your talent for transferring emotion blazes bright in this haunting and captivating expression. Using the night as an enthralling illustration of existential dread, profound sorrow at the passage of time and inevitable endings worked beautifully, and, as always, I thoroughly enjoyed your shrewd style and startling phrases.   Highly evocative artistry.

I'm so glad you brought back: I'm so glad you brought back this treasure and shared it like water in the desert. I wanted to cheer at the end of every life-altering line in your brilliant, condensed life manual that pretty much sums up my personal curriculum (not always easily learned) in the last few years.   And the title: you couldn't have found a better fit.   With sparkling dexterity of language, you invited me to take another crash course in what is most important and return to my true self.   Thank you, poetic sage.
