crypticbard commented on: Epigram For Philip Larkin by J4nu4r14n 2 years 12 weeks* ago* It's been a while dear poet:: It's been a while dear poet: Philip Larkin. It's good to be reacquainted from another poet's pen. Thanks for sharing. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Epigram On Pasternak's Poems by J4nu4r14n 2 years 12 weeks* ago* How intertwining poetry and: How intertwining poetry and poets are over the span of centuries and languages, even. My mother introduced me to Zhivago, not quite intentionally. That led me to look into the work of Pasternak. And now at this junction I will embark on the poetry of Tyutchev. Thanks so much for sharing. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Epigram On American Indifference To Poetry by J4nu4r14n 2 years 12 weeks* ago* That is most certainly true. : That is most certainly true. And yes, we all do need to be more kind to each other---and I fail at that very much, not so much by what I do, but by what I fail to do. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Epigram On American Indifference To Poetry by J4nu4r14n 2 years 12 weeks* ago* Thank you for sharing those: Thank you for sharing those thoughts, and I agree with them. When I first told my parents, in October, 1975 (which was during my senior year in high school) that I wanted to be a Poet, their first question was, "How much money do you think you can make doing that?" Then they advised me to continue with my interest in science fiction, because it had the potential to make more money. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: ENDLESS CONSTRUCTION by georgeschaefer 2 years 12 weeks* ago* It is quite amazing to note: It is quite amazing to note that everywhere we go construction is going on, despite the current financial or political state at any given time. Perhaps the more concrete is laid the more stable we feel that our future will be. Or perhaps not. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: NO MORE MONEY by chris 2 years 12 weeks* ago* Sounds like a lull in a: Sounds like a lull in a highrolling spree. Thanks for the fun read although the tone of the poem is somewhat of a serious nature. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Epigram On American Indifference To Poetry by J4nu4r14n 2 years 12 weeks* ago* Over the centuries, of all: Over the centuries, of all the arts and artistic pursuits, it seems, that poetry has been the poorer cousin or the whipping boy of all its other more esteemed and sought after colleagues and counterparts. Even song writing which is to my opinion a scion of poetry has elevated itself in following, investment, and celebration, above and beyond what poems and poets can hope for. But in the same observing breath we can also note that poetry has survived and even developed over the centuries. And as the Muse and her Scribe know with an unspoken understanding, this is part and parcel of their lot and reward. But those are just some thoughts. [ go to comment ]
georgeschaefer commented on: Epigram On American Indifference To Poetry by J4nu4r14n 2 years 12 weeks* ago* What would we do with the: What would we do with the accolades if we got them anyway? I just wish we could learn to be kinder to one another in life. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: Judy (snowmansmom) Costea by hhickson 2 years 12 weeks* ago* Do you know how she is, or: Do you know how she is, or why she has fallen silent? [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Paid in Full - Haiku by terry 2 years 12 weeks* ago* Definitely an epitaph to be: Definitely an epitaph to be avoided; and a very effective Senryu. I applaud your respect for the traditional 5/7/5 format. The word "twas" sounds top archaic, and more appropriate substitutes are available; but the poem is still quite effective and very much to the point. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: 5. Finale by rachel 2 years 12 weeks* ago* This poem is very emotionally: This poem is very emotionally engaging, and the nod to Eliot's Hollow Men at the end is brilliant! [ go to comment ]
