Ah, the Poet is a comedian.: Ah, the Poet is a comedian. The best of both worlds.    This had me smiling, and that's no small gift after a stressful day. Well, this is one poem that needs no repair—delivering satire, wit and therapy in one graceful swoop. Well done!

patriciajj commented on: When Mountains Erupt by lyrycsyntyme 2 years 20 weeks ago
"and i've been learning so: "and i've been learning so breathe fire fill the atmosphere scourge the landscape melt away illusions that anything lasts,"   So much gripping emotion tumbles through this metaphorical triumph that I just want to applaud rather than analyze.    The effect speaks for itself, but I still need to express my admiration for the stylistic impact, the brilliant use of sensory words and the deft execution of imagery.   An absorbing creation.

This poem is brilliant---the: This poem is brilliant---the kind one expects when your screen name appears on a poem.  Your use of the extended metaphor makes for a great reading experience.

This is beautiful and well: This is a beautiful and well organized love poem.  I am particularly impressed with the line describing the sun as sherbet bright:  wow!, what a brilliant comparison.  I have been enjoying sherbet for over half a century, and have never thought of it as a source of poetic description--and I feel like a silly fool for missing that,  So I applaud your poem for its verbal excellence and emotional candor.

Reading this poem again, I: Reading this poem again, I find that---like the best poems that interest me---it loses nothing on second reading but actually gains, because it requires that I bring more (of either life's experience, or life's questions) to it.  That is an effect that, in my own opinion, only the finest poems can produce; and, among them, this poem.  I applaud your accomplishment.

Words have great power: Incredible, you have a way of putting the reader right there with you. The twist you imply on 'the last laugh' is bitter sweet, a triumph of the illumination of the shadows of the lie and the sadness at the truth laid bare.

So very poignant, and: So very poignant, and effectively eloquent.  In the hands of a lesser artist, or a poseur, it would fail.  But your highly capable skill makes it work, and work very efficiently.
