crypticbard commented on: Drab and dilapidated by Pungus 2 years 14 weeks* ago* Brought to mind the image of: Brought to mind the image of a street person (homeless or displaced) worn down by the years and the 'misfortunes' of life. Of course it could be a feel in image form but what a picture this poem paints in this reader's head! [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Late Lunchers; April, 1912 by J4nu4r14n 2 years 14 weeks* ago* You absolutely succeeded in: You absolutely succeeded in your strategy to show how no material creation can compare with a loving connection. That message came through elegantly, although I was remiss in giving a complete analysis due my exhaustion last night. This series just keeps getting better and better. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: 4. Weeping by rachel 2 years 14 weeks* ago* The brevity of most of the: The brevity of most of the lines gives this poem a forward energy, and an authentic tone---showing us a mind in contemplation, but not contemplation in leisure, but in distress as the distress is going on around it and within it. The poem ends with a kind of quiet scream of uncertainty. And that mysterious term, never-end: is that a state of mind, a place in the soul, some eerie site that appears nowhere on any map and yet is always turning up everywhere? [ go to comment ]
wisdomscry commented on: Curiosity Killed by wisdomscry 2 years 14 weeks* ago* I agree...but there is a: I agree...but there is a level of curiousity that is presumptuous, that defies the laws of nature and the law of God. Curiousity that is actually disobedience. Healthy curiousity lends to ambition and growth. But, that is not what I am referring to here. Thanks you for your reply.....I just saw it. lol!

Starward commented on: Rhapsody of ### by rachel 2 years 14 weeks* ago* Despite the relatively calm: Despite the relatively calm tone of the lines, there is still an eerieness to this poem. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Late Lunchers; April, 1912 by J4nu4r14n 2 years 14 weeks* ago* Thank you very much. You: Thank you very much. You have validated what I had hoped for the poem, and its effects, and I am very grateful for that. Despite the backdrop of the tragic sinking, I wanted to contrast to it the happiness of the BoyFriends. The gadgets of which society is so proud, and the Titanic was one of those gadgets, are nothing compared to the beauty, the comfort, and the warmth of the Love experienced by the BoyFriends. And I just had to mention those ubiquitous socks. Thank you for commenting, especially as busy as I know you have been. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Late Lunchers; April, 1912 by J4nu4r14n 2 years 14 weeks* ago* Thank you very much. I: Thank you very much. I wanted the effect to be whimsical, but also to underscore the contrasts between the two Boyfriends, nakedly safe and warm in each other's arms, and the impending tragedy, the chill of death and drowning, about to be delivered by the supposedly unsinkable ship. I very much appreciate your compliment. [ go to comment ]
rachel commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Late Lunchers; April, 1912 by J4nu4r14n 2 years 14 weeks* ago* Delightful and whimsical and: Delightful and whimsical and sweet! [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: penny for a lost thought by redbrick 2 years 14 weeks* ago* My gratitiude for your most: My gratitiude for your most appreciated comment. I am particularly glad that the emotion expressed has carried through in the reading. In a day when coins figure less and less in our day to day transactions, tap and go appears to have stoutly replaced hand to hand barter-like exchanges. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: penny for a lost thought by redbrick 2 years 14 weeks* ago* Your innovative and blazing: Your innovative and blazing imagination has tackled, spectacularly, and with some startling personification, the ghosts of jaded yesterdays. Amazing! Truly enjoyed this emotional avalanche that tumbled from your expert pen. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Late Lunchers; April, 1912 by J4nu4r14n 2 years 14 weeks* ago* Love was the guardian angel: Love was the guardian angel in this charming story set against the towering backdrop of the Titanic's departure. There's some brilliant reverse tension here: we're hoping that the couple do NOT make it to the ship on time while the grandfather blusters about the "unfortunate" delay. Fate can often be a benevolent despot; perhaps it was those enchanted, highly symbolic socks. Another fun, witty and heart-melting celebration of love. [ go to comment ]
