PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I like the conversational: I like the conversational tone of this poem, and the second stanza offers a most interesting perspective.  

I am sorry I did not reply to: I am sorry I did not reply to this in a more timely way.  Thank you for the comment.

First, I must apologize for: First, I must apologize for the uncorrected typo(s) in my comment.  I am a very poor keyboardist and proofreader. I have said before, and I shall say here again---whatever is in my comments on your poems are inspired by your Poems.  I have often imagined a metaphorical astronomer, not only watching a constellation emerging into the sky, but emerging among all the other stars as a background to it.  This is what your Poetry is like:  a constellation in and of itself, but also set among the background of your Peers:  Vergil, Stevens; and, inspired by the grandeur of this perspective, I have the privilege to look starward (if I may be permitted the pun) to write about your Poems as they emerge.  I do not doubt, whatsoever, that future commentors, literary critics, and graduate students writing their dissertations will overturn some of my conclusions:  I know only expect this, I welcome the likelihood, because that process will acknowledge the lasting value---the staying power, so to speak---of your total work. Each of your poems grants me the privilege of looking starward.

No crying in the rain,: No crying in the rain, contrived or voluntarily, but for the germinant seed a blessing from above! And the ensuing blossoms shall petal forth a fresh newness.

Rare seems to be good only: Rare seems to be good only when it comes to steak. But I receive that with wholehearted gratitude! It is high time to embrace the pecking order of poetry and live out to the fullest one's own colours. Cheers, Patricia

An incredibly clever way to: An incredibly clever way to show the power of a little kindness and some cooking skill.   This is cutting-edge brilliance:   "It was directed inwardly Which caused cannibalizing effect In which angry emotion Devoured itself out of existence"   If everyone practiced this kind of highly evolved courtesy and maturity, the world would be a far, far better place.   Disarmingly witty and charming work.  

The way I see it, your rare: The way I see it, your rare imagination keeps cooking up endless variety and some killer wit.   Always a banquet here.
