This reminds me so much of: This reminds me so much of weekend nights with my First Beloved during the summer of 1976; the words of your poem brought all those memories to the forefront.

Starward commented on: Dear Little Evan, #12 by ewbonitz 3 years 40 weeks ago
I like your writing style.  I: I like your writing style.  I love your reminiscences.  My heart goes out to Little Evan and, after reading this, to Zach.  But your bravery in posting this candor . . . let me say again, your BRAVERY . . . is both overwhelming and encouraging.  You are helping others as you continue to expand this series, but you are also setting an example of artistic honesty and how to push the envelope without being ostentatious or campy. PostPoems has several Poets whom I consider to be PILLARS or BEACONS of this community, and this consideration is not numerous because I am rather particular.  But among that small number of PostPoems' Pillars, to whom I gladly look up and whose poems and other writing I gladly read, you are included.  I am glad to see this series expanding---I believe it will do some mighty great things, now and in the future.

Starward commented on: @ 27.225 MHz: Metaphoric Poem For Patriciajj by Starward-Led 3 years 40 weeks ago
I feel highly privileged to: I feel highly privileged to be able to watch the ongoing expansion of your Poetic accomplishment.  That moment, after the Big Bang, when the stars began to coalesce and then to shine is an apt metaphor for your Poetry, as it is received on Postpoems.  The sound of any or all of Bach's Fugues would be an appropriate accompaniment and sound track to your Poems' development.

Starward commented on: Footnote: Transition by Starward-Led 3 years 40 weeks ago
You are correct.  With Lent: You are correct.  With Lent approaching, these thoughts become more preva;ent right now, but on the other side of Lent is the Pascal Celebration, and the coming of Spring.  Easter, or Pascha, has been my favorite Holiday since I was nine years old, and even more so now, as I draw ever close to my time of departure.  Plus, my continuing medical difficulties remind me, sometimes quite forcefully, of the ongoing failure of my health; and I am weary of these relentless aches and pains.

On that question, I am very: On that question, I am very torn.  On the one hand, I want to see my grandchildren grow up (five of the seven are not yet adults), and I feel I have many more poems to write; on the other hand, my Faith believes the Heavenly existence is so superior to this one, and with all my medical conditions I am almost anxious for my time to come. I truth the Lord to summon me when the time is right. Thanks for reading the poem and commenting.

crypticbard commented on: OTHER DIRECTION by georgeschaefer 3 years 40 weeks ago
oh yeah! the burbs! I grew up: oh yeah! the burbs! I grew up in the burbs and spent the early years of my married life there as well. Having lived in the heart of the city and spending all vacations in the farm has actually clued me in on these three types of human habitation.
