Starward commented on: hidden valentine by redbrick 3 years 2 weeks* ago* I have just one criticism: : I have just one criticism: this poem is so moving, that I could only wish it was much longer. But, more seriously, you have encapsulated the saint's story in a way that moves briskly, yet profoundly. You should be very, very (and if I may say so, very) pleased with this literary accomplishment. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Kick the Darkness by exthias1983 3 years 2 weeks* ago* Awesome needful metaphor in: Awesome needful metaphor in these grime and challenging days! Thanks to you and David C. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Any Kind Of Tree by S74rw4rd-13d 3 years 2 weeks* ago* Thank you. The cause of the: Thank you. The cause of the poem was a statement that art must occur "naturally," that it cannot be planned but must have an almost vegetal growth and expansion. Yet, the growth and expansion demonstrated by vegetal life is very accurately controlled---as to shape, function, purpose---by inherited genetic material. In that way, a cabbage will always be a cabbage, and will not mutate into a sunflower or a hermit crab. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: The Bones and the Cards by C.Locke 3 years 2 weeks* ago* Applause. Admittedly, what I: Applause. Admittedly, what I know of the Tarot (I assume you are alluding to tarot cards) is restricted to Eliot's use of them in The Waste Land, but I sure to like this poem. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Any Kind Of Tree by S74rw4rd-13d 3 years 2 weeks* ago* Not only a serene and: Not only a serene and gorgeous contemplation, but exhibit A that there is intelligent design. An all-around graceful and brilliant invitation to ponder, examine and truly connect with nature. As a raging tree-hugger, I'm embracing this marvel! [ go to comment ]

crypticbard commented on: Dear Little Evan, #16 by ewbonitz 3 years 2 weeks* ago* Hey Evan, his takes me back: Hey Evan, this poem deliciously takes me back to the many funerals that dotted my childhood and more recently now that many of my generation are crossing over. There was this instinctual knowing that the coffin and the body in it was much like an empty bus at the terminus, both passengers and driver gone and the depot locked up for the night. Strange way to see it, but I dare say that little Rik was also a strange sort of child. Thanks for sharing, Rik. [ go to comment ]

tula commented on: —silhouettes for their perch by tula 3 years 2 weeks* ago* Thank you, sir.: Like mentioned to you time and again, I am grateful for it and for the indulgent comments that I am receiving while going through my own work myself (as I learn more about the English literature itself or its related grammar). I wanted to take this opportunity to also inform you that I'm initially unable to reply before (i.e once I was back online to recheck my inbox in my usual workdays) when I have just received a comment—in that long stretch—while you already had given it, due to I have not attended to it in earnest (although a notification was e-mailed to me, found in the periphery while parsing my other e-mails, whenever it, i.e. PostPoems, automatically sends those notices) around the abrupt time when you just did give me a truthful comment in a single line. That's because I'm out and about & was busy with city life demands and with my multiple jobs at the time. Until here, as I try to go around with language use, learning more on it (meter, essence, rhythmic flow, and the formality involved in poetry..et al), I am quite humbled.. (with self-deprecation, admittedly). [ go to comment ]
