Starward commented on: In The Lovely Quiet by rachel 3 years 17 weeks* ago* I applaud your use of active: I applaud your use of active verbs, of the "ing" ending for some of those verbs, and for building the poem up to that triumphant, hopeful, and celebratory final line. This is an excellent poem. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: His Dream of Lions by rachel 3 years 17 weeks* ago* This is some very heavy, yet: This is some very heavy, yet very astute, poetry to write at the age of seventeen. You were more observant of human nature, at that age, than I was; and I applaud you for it!!! [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: The Show by rachel 3 years 17 weeks* ago* One of the burdensome aspects: One of the burdensome aspects of being a Poet is that sometimes we have to face, report on, and describe the horrific aspects of our common existence. The fact that you realize this, and with unflincing candor you acknowledge it, tells me you have the right stuff for Poetry. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Fire Mattress by rachel 3 years 17 weeks* ago* In four short lines, you: In four short lines, you describe what---in my opinion---is one of the great metaphysical paradoxes of our existence: our burdens singe us like flames, and yet in the pain of that injury, we know we are alive.

SSmoothie commented on: A litany of manic adventures by SSmoothie 3 years 17 weeks* ago* Aww thanks and I you! I'm: Aww thanks and I you! I'm around but have injured my dominant hand and have chronic referred pain syndrome. Everything takes so long with my other hand. I am now part machine screws and rods... but I am around here and there I try and read as many as I can and comment where I can. Inspiration can run dry quicker. I try to give a read for a read and a comment for a comment but the last year i just cannot. Pain is my old friend, but a chameleon always changing... hiding and reappearing in new places and new ways, but staying positive and strong is a duty and an honour! [ go to comment ]

Truly a jewel in the crown of creation Mauch love Life and joy, hugss [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: And I miss you by SSmoothie 3 years 17 weeks* ago* A very powerful strategy:: A very powerful strategy: declaring, in the most riveting and eloquent way, that your love is so great and the loss so immense, that all creation speaks of it. Looking Heavenward, your stirring poem takes a comforting, inspirational turn and puts it all into perspective with the words: "Everything seems so small now" A dazzling and shattering expression. I'm feeling every word. Wonderful. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: What Little I Know by patriciajj 3 years 17 weeks* ago* Dear poet, it's the greatest: Dear poet, it's the greatest pleasure to receive such encouragement from a wordcrafter I admire. Thank you!!! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: A litany of manic adventures by SSmoothie 3 years 17 weeks* ago* Like tuning forks, your: Like tuning forks, your electrifying lines set the reader's vibrations to the frequency of a highly evolved connection. Using metaphors for sound (the building materials of the universe itself) you constructed a voyage into the deep realm of "sacred energy", "a symphony of etherial musings" and a "spiritual liturgy" that encompasses all of life's richness of experience, from "Dizzying highs" to "resounding lows". And isn't that why we're here? To experience it all, to expand by "Shuffling the order of truths and mystic mysteries/ Coming full circle where withall/ then bounding off again."? With spiritual references and ecstatic, striking language, you make these "manic adventures", simultaneously harrowing and glorious and absolutely worth every moment, feel like a privilege, not a burden. What's truly transporting is the way this poem never lands, but suggests a never-ending union between individuals and all consciousness. An opulently constructed banquet for the heart and soul. Rapturous and wondrous! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Godspeed, Allets by patriciajj 3 years 17 weeks* ago* Your gorgeous tribute almost: Your gorgeous tribute almost brought tears to my eyes, and I have to believe she's smiling down on you. Like you, I wish all her poems from years past (she did delete many of them) could be reposted. I'm still grieving our immeasurable loss. [ go to comment ]

SSmoothie commented on: Godspeed, Allets by patriciajj 3 years 17 weeks* ago* I still can't. I wish: I still can't. I wish everything Stella wrote was reposted. There are no words worthy enough for a eulogy. Indeed I shall spend years thinking what to write. What a great glory for Heaven, what a great chasm left in this workd. God bless her and hers always [ go to comment ]
