Pungus commented on: The Luxury by Jesster 3 years 51 weeks* ago* Just the dose I needed: The hint of humor and frustration in the lines "and shit//from angry cats" sent me soaring. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Memories of a friend of mine by ponsford 3 years 51 weeks* ago* "Faulting ears" seem to be a: "Faulting ears" seem to be a natural enemy to poems and a fearful inevitability for poets to encounter. But the enduring love that bring memories to life give a freedom to feel and heal even in times of grief. May you mourn well and move into the celebration of friendship's love. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: skinned alive by redbrick 3 years 51 weeks* ago* Seen as a poetic summation of: Seen as a poetic summation of sorts, that is both a succinct and useful description of what took place here. And for that I am most thankful dear Starward. There is a tinge of rue that presence is all that will come off of this but I may be proven wrong yet again in these feelings. So for now it is forward and onward. The Muse calls. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Some Housekeeping Changes To My Collection Of Poems by Starward-Led 3 years 51 weeks* ago* Thank you. I guess I just: Thank you. I guess I just wanted to explain why a few, a very few, of my poems are duplicated. I have been at postpoems long enough that I feel like I need not be accused of seeking unwarranted attention with duolicates, or padding out my own numbers---which has never been part of my purpose in posting here.

Pungus commented on: Some Housekeeping Changes To My Collection Of Poems by Starward-Led 3 years 51 weeks* ago* PAPER PURSUIT: These are notes I made a few days ago: Retitle the poems, choose a format (capitalizations, 100% grammar?), revise [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: When we were young by ponsford 3 years 51 weeks* ago* That reminds me of the: That reminds me of the closeness between me and my best friend since kindergarten: the closeness, an intensely delightful closeness, that we shared during through elementary school became, suddenly, subversive (according to parental authorities) when we entered adolescence, because, in our small town at that time, two adolescent boys who shared close friendships were often the target of homophobia.

Starward commented on: + 27.225 MHz: After Jesus Had Departed Sychar [John 4:48] by Starward-Led 3 years 51 weeks* ago* Thank you. I love the way: Thank you. I love the way that Faith can energize certainl landmarks so that, when we visit, we become aware of more than just a local dimension at the site. One of those sites, for me, is my Grandpanents' rural home which, for me, was very often associated with Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. And the place where I first embraced the Christian Faith is, of course, paramount among those sacred places. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: + 27.225 MHz: Poem On John 10:10 by Starward-Led 3 years 51 weeks* ago* Thank you, very much, sir,: Thank you, very much, sir, for that complimentaru comment. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Footnote: On The JWST by Starward-Led 3 years 51 weeks* ago* Thank you. For some reason,: Thank you. For some reason, I have always associated lavender with lilac, and lilac with Easter (probably because my grandmother's lilac bush always bloomed around or after Easter). The use of the color as a prejudicial label is offensive to me. It should be restored to its soothing properties, both as an herb and as a color. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: He Majored On Death---The Poems Of Chravus Von Krevice by Starward-Led 3 years 51 weeks* ago* Thank you, sir.: Thank you, sir. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: skinned alive by redbrick 3 years 51 weeks* ago* This reminds me of the work: This reminds me of the work of the Hellenic Poets, like Callimachus, who reduced the bulky "epic-ness" of certain myths to briefer poems that were more easily read, even memorized, and that still presented the mythical story just as forcefully . . . as you have certainly done here. Another excellent poem from a consistently excellent Poet. Your presence on Postpoems makes it better and better. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: In the night by Seeker 3 years 51 weeks* ago* This is an impressive poem,: This is an impressive poem, and the active verbs are not weakened at all. My applause goes out to you on this one . . . . [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: + 27.225 MHz: After Jesus Had Departed Sychar [John 4:48] by Starward-Led 3 years 51 weeks* ago* A picture and feel of when we: A picture and feel of when we have our first encounter with Jesus. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: + 27.225 MHz: Poem On John 10:10 by Starward-Led 3 years 51 weeks* ago* The thoughts and meditation,: The thoughts and meditation, the peace and hope that ripple forth and onward from this prayer slash declaration both brings God the glory and rehearses the inner person in the blessings that follow.

crypticbard commented on: Footnote: On The JWST by Starward-Led 3 years 51 weeks* ago* A "lavender scare," that does: A "lavender scare," that does raise the proverbial eyebrow and calls for a look into. Lavender in my head is a soothing and healing plant with medical qualities. [ go to comment ]
