patriciajj commented on: I Have Failed, But I Have Been Led Successfully Despite My Failures by J4NU4R14N 2 years 19 weeks* ago* Although it's always your: Although it's always your prerogative to change your name, or have as many names as you choose, I always thought your given name, Starward, best tells the story of you. It's the best signature, in my humble opinion, of your journey. Of course, you're free to disagree with this and change your name at any time, but for now, I'm thrilled that a glimpse of unspeakable splendor brought you back to those amazing moments in your life when you touched infinity and touched Truth. I never fail to be amazed and moved by all the signposts in your remarkable life and the poetic way you unfold them. Thanks for sharing this. [ go to comment ]
J9th commented on: A Reading by owlcrkbrg 2 years 19 weeks* ago* Excellent verbal sketch! I: Excellent verbal sketch! I have encountered many people who have the same attitude---especially about the absence of rhyme. And, early in my adolescence, being compelled in a junior high English class to read poetry, I objected to the lack of rhyme; not realizing what a surprise I would get in junior year of high school when we were expected to read John Milton's Paradise Lost over the course of three weeks. Though brief (which, to me, always goes to the poem's advantage), this poem raises a lot to consider. [ go to comment ]
J9th commented on: But a Dream by starlite_angel 2 years 19 weeks* ago* Quite powerful. BTW, I sure: Quite powerful. BTW, I sure do like the quotation from the Irish poet, A. E., on your main page. He was the first poet of whom I ever read . . . at the tender age of seven. [ go to comment ]

J9th commented on: Musing In A Shady Wood. by sweetwater 2 years 20 weeks* ago* Well, Uncle John had a: Well, Uncle John had a dufferent agenda. But you give us verbal beauty in response to the beauty around you; he did not do that, really. [ go to comment ]
J9th commented on: your name starts with a C by blissfully_yours 2 years 20 weeks* ago* Sorry for the second entry: My bad, hit enter when I wasn's s'posed to. That in no way invalidates my admiration for the poem. [ go to comment ]
J9th commented on: your name starts with a C by blissfully_yours 2 years 20 weeks* ago* Nice use of the letter "C." : Nice use of the letter "C." Reminds me of Wallace Stevens' poem, "The Comedian As The Letter C." [ go to comment ]
sweetwater commented on: Musing In A Shady Wood. by sweetwater 2 years 20 weeks* ago* Thank you so much :-) I read: Thank you so much :-) I read this out loud to see if it sounded right when read, boy did I trip over those S's! Thats the most diabolical thing about my poem. sue. :-) [ go to comment ]
J9th commented on: Musing In A Shady Wood. by sweetwater 2 years 20 weeks* ago* Excellent imagery. and also: Excellent imagery. and also the sibilance of the several words with "s" in them---that made me think of the sound of breezes moving through the trees. I also thought of a passage from John Milton's Paradise Lost, in which he used sibilance to great effect (but, unlike your poem, the Miltonic passage was describing some diabolical aspects).

J9th commented on: July 10th, 1976 by J4NU4R14N 2 years 20 weeks* ago* Thank you. You always know: Thank you. You always know what to write, and when to write it---which makes your comments more than just gestures. And your timing is impeccable. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: July 10th, 1976 by J4NU4R14N 2 years 20 weeks* ago* It was a pleasure being: It was a pleasure being transported back to 1976 and seeing this momentous day from that large window on the back of a Pinto (owned one briefly myself) as the stars burned through the Eastern sky. With disarming honesty and tangible details that brought that era to life, you spotlighted the beginning of your evolution—the beginning of everything that is truly important. Well done, J9th!

patriciajj commented on: Minnow Leaves Series by djtj 2 years 20 weeks* ago* You took something ordinary: You took something ordinary and made it extraordinary by infusing the image with deep meaning, symbolism and emotion. Here, there is the thrill transformation and the birth of a new season, symbolizing the phases of life. A brilliant contemplation. This promises to be an amazing series. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Fragment by jaela 2 years 20 weeks* ago* A brilliant introspection: A brilliant introspection that took deep self-awareness and great courage to compose. Welcome back, dear poet! [ go to comment ]
