patriciajj commented on: °°°○○○°°° by SSmoothie 3 years 29 weeks* ago* "and yet here we are at our: "and yet here we are at our throats as much as in our hearts" Word Empress, you did it again! With dazzling acumen, rare awareness and burrowing insight, you unearthed so much about the dichotomy, the conundrum, the crazy-making complications and unspeakable treasures of our human connections. I love the laser-sharp resignation at the end: a realization that the exasperating, ever-changing scrollwork of humanity just is what it is. "You figure it out" Love it! So much perspective, gorgeously unveiled. [ go to comment ]

By the way, if you're looking for a good laugh, check out Randy Rainbow on YouTube. He does song parodies, many about our favorite Republican. Brilliant and hilarious. [ go to comment ]

Teytonon commented on: I need a vacation by Teytonon 3 years 29 weeks* ago* Thanks for your comment.: Thanks for your comment. Hey, do you realize if you take 'CrushApples' and scramble the letters, you come up with 'Purchase LP's'? Why? Do you feel it's a good investment?, a hedge against inflation? I recently came into a small inheritance and I've been searching for a place to invest it. I was reading about cryptocurrency. No way I'm putting my money in that! Too risky for me. LP's? I hadn't given it much thought, honestly. The question is, where would I get them? People don't use LP's anymore. Get with the times, my friend! I have an appointment with my financial advisor in a couple of weeks. I'll bring up your suggestion about the LP's. If he tells me to do it, I'll get a new financial advisor. Ha ha. Just kidding. I'll let you know what happens. Have a good weekend! [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Fifty Years, Half A Century, Reading Poetry by Starward-Led 3 years 29 weeks* ago* Superbly delicious to retrace: Superbly delicious to retrace our steps in poetry. For my part I venture to say that my parents' permitting poetry to be part of our daily yhousehold routine, most of which (age appropriately) would be nursery rhymes and poetic tales. From soaking all that in and moving to a more active interphase with poetry began when i was 4 and had to memorise "Cat" by Mary Britton Miller, complete with gesturing and interpretative movement. If pushed I most possibly could recite this poem from memory, lol. And since that time 'yawning of cats' has been a permanently etched image in my psyche. Starlite didn't have much of an impact on my poetic activity. And as you have explained quite tellingly was not a very promising choice of a venue and environment in which poetry could be lived in or grown from. The aspect of PostPoems that you mention was the main reason for the overly long extended hiatus that I found myself in. But that is the way, isn't it. Allow us to celebrate with you on 50 years of poetry and 22 years on PostPoems! [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: The New Scofield Bible by Starward-Led 3 years 29 weeks* ago* Thank you for the comment. : Thank you for the comment. What I noticed most about the original Scofield was his virulent anti-semitism, as well as an implied disrespect to the earliest Christians who were, like Jesus, Hebrews. Scofield also seemed to think that only Paul's epistles were of theological value to the Church; he even relegated the four Gospels to "Jewish writings." The second edition (which is the one I purchased new in 1976, and just received again, used, this week) was published in 1967. The second edition removed Scofield's prejudices altogether, and dispensed with his ideas about how to "rightly divide" the New Testament---which is, properly, one unit. Thanks again for the comment.
