crypticbard commented on: THOUGHTS ON THE CHILDREN OF WAR by joy 3 years 19 weeks* ago* My dad was a "war baby" as: My dad was a "war baby" as they used to call them, born in 1942. So he was a toddler during Liberation time. In many ways his generation as with the ones before brought to our experience and daily awareness the concepts, effects, and consequences of war.

Starward commented on: What Little I Know by patriciajj 3 years 19 weeks* ago* Thank you for your kindness. : Thank you for your kindness. This has been a rough week: both my spouse and I have been afflicted, in our hands, with what is either flared-up gout, or arthritis. And yes, I do remember the typewriter keyboards, on which I was much better (and my hands not gout-ridden), and I could tell when a mistake was struck (then the carriage goes back, zing!, with the ring of a bell, and an eraser or white-out went to work). Thanks for your understanding, and reminding me of some pleasant memories from my high school days. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: singularity by redbrick 3 years 19 weeks* ago* I am gladdened of the note: I am gladdened of the note you made of the tone in this poem which I have in the past described as "exedraeic" in style due to the intimate conversational style that it exudes. It may be likened to a stage whisper that is both intimate and even conspiratorial in its execution and feel. I believe there are writers that write almost exclusively in this manner.

crypticbard commented on: Gone tomorrow by alex73 3 years 19 weeks* ago* Hopefu and anticipatory, a: Hopeful and anticipatory, a refreshing read. Thanks for sharing! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: What Little I Know by patriciajj 3 years 19 weeks* ago* No problem! Typos are such: No problem! Typos are such a common thing because our minds go faster than our fingers and it's so easy to make mistakes on a keyboard (Remember in the old days we were forced to go somewhat slow on a typewriter and you always knew when you made an error?) that I hardly recognize them anymore. In fact, my mind usually does an instant autocorrect when I'm reading anything online nowadays. You're such a supreme writer and I'm always very aware of your physical affliction so I don't pay it any mind if a tiny error pops up. The fact that you're so conscientious about it is confirmation of your intelligence and high standards. Thank you again for your superb and thrilling feedback. It means so much. [ go to comment ]

crypticbard commented on: through the night by redbrick 3 years 19 weeks* ago* Dear Starward, it is: Dear Starward, it is particularly gratifying to learn that these chasing and dancing lights continue independently after reading. Thanks you most kindly. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: through the night by redbrick 3 years 19 weeks* ago* My gratitude for these kind: My gratitude for these kind words. And a very encouraging note that a lasting imprint is to be had in both mind and heart, then from that we can assume the writing ✍️ has been a success. Many thanks [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: until the next post by redbrick 3 years 19 weeks* ago* The mix up was mine, being: The mix up was mine, being the first interpretative connotation I had ascribed to the reading, which by the way was well received on my part. Allusions to food are almost always welcome (side note). It is also such a great privilege and honour to receive you substantive response given the present circumstances that require your energies to be assigned to other more valuable things in your daily life. We are given future opportunities as they arise and that is most looked forward to. As for Dali and Monet, wow! A humbling parallel allusion. I may take to donning a like moustache one time but alas that would remind me of Dick Dastardly. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: through the night by redbrick 3 years 19 weeks* ago* Excellent simile! And the: Excellent simile! And the poem creates an effect that, even after it has been read, the lights are still dancing, still chasing each other, independent of the reader. And I totally agree with Patricia's comment as well!!! [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: What Little I Know by patriciajj 3 years 19 weeks* ago* Thank you, and still I missed: Thank you, and still I missed the typo: "I know only expect this" should have been "I not only expect this." I sincerely apologize for my carelessness. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: What Little I Know by patriciajj 3 years 19 weeks* ago* Whether looking starward or: Whether looking starward or inward, in intricate observation or expansive analysis, you are a superior interpreter of poetry and I'm sure I can speak for other writers honored enough to receive your reviews, you are cherished here. My deepest and far-reaching appreciation. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: A Brilliant Stupor by patriciajj 3 years 19 weeks* ago* I'm so sorry that I failed to: I'm so sorry that I failed to respond to your beautiful comment years ago. That was a rough time for me, but that's no excuse. Thank you for your many years of support. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: until the next post by redbrick 3 years 19 weeks* ago* Rare like a Dali or a Monet.: Rare like a Dali or a Monet. Sorry I got the adjective mixed up in a food reference. I really do enjoy your work, even though I don't have the time and energy to give each of your mini masterpieces the attention they deserve. Perhaps one day I'll make up for lost time and read them all. My deepest respect. [ go to comment ]
