crypticbard commented on: cure alls by redbrick 3 years 38 weeks* ago* And as always, a most welcome: And as always, a most welcome review that opens up tree-lined avenues to further expeditions into poetic expression. And onward in the journey of extrication from these all too easy 'cure alls.'A curious aside as well, 'panacea' was to be part of the title but chose against utlising that for a more accessible title. My gratitude dear PatriciaJJ. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Uneven breaths by SSmoothie 3 years 38 weeks* ago* This majestic heartsong: This majestic heartsong blooms as it grows brighter and brighter; each line is a bud, opening a new surprise until it pulls out the final gift. "And I danced like a flame When I resonated through you" A precious, quotable micropoem within the poem. And that twist at the end: priceless! That last line, sparkling with bold, lighthearted wit, expresses lasting devotion as well. You shine! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Restless by Wordman 3 years 38 weeks* ago* "the howling wind bullies: "the howling wind bullies this night to tears" Fiercely imaginative! Your entire depiction seizes the experience of being at war with a brutal, endless night. The storm, as both physical atmosphere and a metaphor for the inner struggle, is almost audible. A memorable work of art. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: One Spark is a Galaxy by patriciajj 3 years 38 weeks* ago* Thank you for the reply, and,: Thank you for the reply, and, let me say again---gladly---thank you for the poem; but, moreso, thank you for your Poetry which is so essential to this site. [ go to comment ]
Rebecca commented on: The voice beyond midnight. by Bec.J 3 years 38 weeks* ago* Thank you, I really: Thank you, I really appreciate you taking time to read my poem. Unfortunately, despair is an all too familiar feeling. Sometimes overwhelming, I try to focus on building a better version of myself every day :) [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: One Spark is a Galaxy by patriciajj 3 years 38 weeks* ago* Having no words is the: Having no words is the sincerest compliment, and I accept it with the deepest gratitude. I feel that you deserve recognition for your valuable contribution to others, some you are probably not even aware of. Perhaps on a higher plane of existence, you'll fully appreciate the positive impact you've had on "strangers", whether it was your creative ability that gave them a moment's respite from their troubles, an insightful and uplifting comment that reassured them of their value, spiritual inspiration that reminded them of what their soul is up to in this world or acceptance of whatever life path they needed to follow. My only concern about this poem was that, as you pointed out, mortal words would cast a pale shadow of ultimate truth. Peace and brightest blessings. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: The voice beyond midnight. by Bec.J 3 years 38 weeks* ago* The declaration "I no longer: The declaration "I no longer want to feed the darkness" is a powerfully stated and highly self-aware breakaway that shows great strength of character. Most of us, at least at times, find it easy to get caught in a loop of destructive self talk, but your advice is the first, unavoidable step toward recovery. A life-altering progression from despair to hope. Wonderful, valuable work. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: cure alls by redbrick 3 years 38 weeks* ago* A shrewd and achingly: A shrewd and achingly accurate commentary on too many peoples' sorry excuse for a life. As always, you hit the mark with stunning acrobatics of language and your own signature wit. The concept of vapid entertainment being a panacea and our distractions being a type of fast food that takes the place of inner nourishment is inspired. You invite the reader to step out of the brain-numbing, easy anesthesia of modern "cure all"s and imagine, create . . . live! Brilliant work. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: One Spark is a Galaxy by patriciajj 3 years 38 weeks* ago* The inadequacy of my words in: The inadequacy of my words in the presence of this poem is embarrassing to me. And though you always understand what I mean to say, even if I am not always successful in saying it, I fear that others who are less understanding or tolerant will take my remarks as either self-serving or overly obsequious. My Ad Astra series began, and continues to exist, because of your encouragement, your humane compassion, and the example you set (as both a Human Being and a Poet) on Postpoems. You are not only one of the supreme pillars of this community, you are also a Tower of spiritual illumination to which the Alexandrian lighthouse would be only a trite metaphor. I can still remember the thrill I experienced, three years ago, when I first read Gates Of Orion, just three days before I was discharged from the hospital; and then, after that, Council Of Stars. And I realized that everything I had learned about reading Poetry (learned, of course, by a study of Poets deceased well before I approached their words) was demonstrated and exemplified by you, the supremest of Living Poets. And, in choosing to post this poem at this time, you have brought me the answer to an unspoken prayer, at precisely the time I needed that answer. For that, I thank the Lord and I thank you.
