Starward commented on: October 13, 1975 by J4nu4r14n 2 years 6 weeks* ago* Thank you for that comment,: Thank you for that comment, and the compliment it contains. I especially enjoyed your reminiscences---especially that wonderful phrase, "jealously guarded component of self and individuality." That feeling of self and individuality did not come, for me, until July 10th of the following year, when Cerulean helped me find the appellation Starwatcher; but the first steps toward receiving the gift of that name were taken on October 13, 1975. I remember very few dates from that period; I was not wise enough to document stuff in a journal. To have grown up in a home as you have described it must have been a most delightful experience. Poetry, except for limericks, was pretty much avoided in my parents' house. I had been disappointing them for years, and this choice aggravated them more than any other that I had made. I am very grateful for your comment, and what you shared with me about your background. Knowing that information equips me to enjoy your Poetry the more. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: October 13, 1975 by J4nu4r14n 2 years 6 weeks* ago* This is a very important date: This is a very important date and you are blessed to remember and document it. For my part the date is now lost in time as there was not much of a real decision to make, our home abounding in Shakespeare and Wordsworth among the other seemingly countless poets and literatti, both reading and writing and even on occasion, 'performing.' But I do recall when the tide turned and the pen was taken up with more intention and determination around the pubescent years onward when the personal independent voice became a growing force and jealously guarded component of self and individuality. And there is that angle to be witnessed in your history of 'life-poetry.' Thanks for sharing your writing journey. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: At One Old Tombstone In Kentucky, 1 by J4nu4r14n 2 years 6 weeks* ago* I re-read this comment just: I re-read this comment just this afternoon. In my situation, I am probably closer to death now than I was when you wrote the comment and when I wrote the poem. Although I have believed far less longer than I have not believed (I did not really become a Christian until I was thirty-five; I am now sixty-four), I have no real fear of death. Althouogh I am not eager to part temporarily from my loved ones, I am eager to enter the presence of the Loving and Loved One who died my death so that I could live in His Life eternally.

crypticbard commented on: Midlife by patriciajj 2 years 6 weeks* ago* And though at times the snowy: And though at times the snowy landscape of poetry may be barren that is what it is and all the creatures that do not hibernate and all the evergreens that do not bow to frost or hail become as Cinderella's coterie (snowy owls, snow leopards and such) rare but move in that milieu as if it were another Season!
