Starward commented on: Footnote: On A Dismal Day by S74rw4rd-13d 2 years 43 weeks* ago* Thank you. I, too, still: Thank you. I, too, still grieve for Penny (who was more my father's dog) and moreso for Monica (who was my dog). I never thought I would find another dog with as much empathy as Monica until we adopted Zoey (who was an unwanted pet prior to joining our household), over ten years ago. She has now become sedentary and is slowing down in a big way. My heart grieves that we must face another loss, but that makes the time we have left with her so much more precious. And my Faith tells me that death is only a temporary parting in the transfer from here to There, so I look forward to that reunion. If I may ask, what was your Spaniel's name? [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Amusing Childhood Memory by S74rw4rd-13d 2 years 43 weeks* ago* Thank you. During my: Thank you. During my childhood and adolescence, I had very few opportunities to "turn the tables" on my parents, or to be able to hold "dish back to them" what they constantly "dished out" to me. This was one of those few occasions. Thanks for reading and commenting! [ go to comment ]

You compressed so much atmosphere and some real chills into this cleverly subtle work of art. The ordinary transformed into the extraordinary: the unearthly. Truly brilliant. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: "Headlines".... Unfinished and looking for feedback by sonnysblueridge 2 years 43 weeks* ago* I'm thrilled to have: I'm thrilled to have discovered your vibrant, hard-driving and evocative work. I'm not sure what part of the Blue Ridge Mountains your screen name refers to, but I spend a lot of time up there on the Virginia side. This is amazing! I know I'm reading some dynamic lyrics when I can hear the tempo and absorb the ambiance, the essence, of the song without sound. Here you infuse a stirring and compelling defiance into a rhythm that rocks and hums like a pick up truck down a back road. Your skill for weaving impeccably chosen, striking words into what I imagine to be a catchy rhythm and melody is very impressive, and the theme is relevant without being dated in any way. Oh, and I'm loving that bridge! Feeling it. It stitches it all together and adds a flash of upbeat beauty to the poignant expression. I'm particularly enchanted with the folksy, ingenious eloquence, unfortunately rare in contemporary music, that really pops in some lines: "Underneath the skin Nothing but a pin Holding all the pieces down" Brilliant. Looking forward to the finished creation. So far, a stunning introduction to your talent. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Amusing Childhood Memory by S74rw4rd-13d 2 years 43 weeks* ago* From a heartbreaking and: From a heartbreaking and traumatic childhood, you sifted through what most people would moan about and struck gold. A humorous, touching and teachable moment, skillfully penned. Applauding your ability to see the light in the darkness, the gift in the pain. [ go to comment ]

Teytonon commented on: CORNY ELEVATOR PUNS by chris 2 years 43 weeks* ago* ‘Elevator’ is a misleading word to use.: 'Elevator' is a misleading word to use. Of course it 'elevates' if you're going up, but you're not elevated if you're going down. (Let me clarify, I'm not referring to anything sexual here). Anyway, I feel we should have a new term for it. I've given it some thought and come up with 'up and down box'. What do you think? [ go to comment ]
