Starward commented on: The Baptist Church On SharedWay Road by Seryddwr 2 years 2 weeks* ago* Thank you so much. In that: Thank you so much. In that church on Airway Road (a real road), I came to salvation on January 9th, 1994. And from that date until about August of 1996, we were given an experience that had to be a metaphysical sampling of the churches described in the New Testament. Then, like the believers after the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, all of us were scattered; and now some of us have been called from this life. I believe that a wolf in sheep's clothing came among us, just as the Gospel warned, and tore it all down (spiritually). But there shall be a reunion in a rapture. The deacon who baptized me had a reply when anyone said something like, "See you later." He often said, to that, "Here, there, or in the air." Our ultimate reunion will take place . . . there, or in the air. [ go to comment ]

crypticbard commented on: The Baptist Church On SharedWay Road by Seryddwr 2 years 2 weeks* ago* Airway is such an excellent: Airway is such an excellent name! If one suppresses the biological scientific connotations, it is quite freeing and open and fresh. That says a lot for that moment that forgiveness and freedom and salvation are found. So many of the names that are connected to your life travels are so interesting, inspiring, and meaningful. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: *Yet [/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; The Stars +You, Lord+ Established [Psalm 8:3]** by Seryddwr 2 years 2 weeks* ago* That is a grand AMEN on that: That is a grand AMEN on that declaration - how beauty is divinely ordained and that our capacity to proclaim outlives our earthly sojourn. It also allows for the conception of our return to what we came from, physically...which in turn gives by extension a homecoming for that part of us that is nonphysical. A worthy meditation.

crypticbard commented on: Footnote: To Richard Wright, Haiku Poet by Seryddwr 2 years 2 weeks* ago* Range in poetry is quite: Range in poetry is quite present however minute or "undercover." Reminds one of skaters "grinding," as they say on the metal edges all along the skate park. To be able to reach the full extent of each form's range is akin to extreme sport athletes at their finest. An excellent homage to Richard Wright. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: The Baptist Church On SharedWay Road by Seryddwr 2 years 2 weeks* ago* Rae, you are in Heaven now,: Rae, you are in Heaven now, so I cannot thank you again for this comment, at least while I am still on earth. I also believe I had thanked you during our long corresponence by private email. But I want to acknowledge, here on postpoems, my appreciation for this comment; and how much I enjoyed, and now truly miss, the many email conversations we had. I look forward to resuming them in Heaven. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Autumn Bones. by sweetwater 2 years 2 weeks* ago* I agree. I have found that: I agree. I have found that the older I get, the more frequently they arrive that way. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: The Jail of the Unjustified by rachel 2 years 2 weeks* ago* This poem is very powerful,: This poem is very powerful, and the second stanza is so dramatic that it leaps off the page toward the reader. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Emptiness of your Days II by rachel 2 years 2 weeks* ago* Again I will point out how: Again I will point out how your observation of the human condition is both profoundly wise and very acutely precise. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Emptiness of your Days by rachel 2 years 2 weeks* ago* T. S. Eliot once wrote: T. S. Eliot once wrote something similar---that both good and evil people were more alive than those who were morally indifferent to both. I think he got that idea from the early cantos of Dante's Inferno.

Starward commented on: Little Bird by rachel 2 years 2 weeks* ago* There is a lot of wisdom in: There is a lot of wisdom in this poem. In my own experience, the first bullying I experienced, in elementary school, was largely because I got very good grades---and I was told that this discouraged other students (ours was a very small school). The bullying, after pubescence, became the expression of other prejudices; but those earliest experiences were because the bullies felt belittled. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Deer and Wolf by rachel 2 years 2 weeks* ago* The poem's brevity emphasizes: The poem's brevity emphasizes the suddenness of the thought, and the brevity of the life in which that thought occurred. [ go to comment ]
