wisdomscry commented on: Curiosity Killed by wisdomscry 4 years 12 weeks* ago* I agree...but there is a: I agree...but there is a level of curiousity that is presumptuous, that defies the laws of nature and the law of God. Curiousity that is actually disobedience. Healthy curiousity lends to ambition and growth. But, that is not what I am referring to here. Thanks you for your reply.....I just saw it. lol!

Starward commented on: Rhapsody of ### by rachel 4 years 12 weeks* ago* Despite the relatively calm: Despite the relatively calm tone of the lines, there is still an eerieness to this poem. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: penny for a lost thought by redbrick 4 years 12 weeks* ago* My gratitiude for your most: My gratitiude for your most appreciated comment. I am particularly glad that the emotion expressed has carried through in the reading. In a day when coins figure less and less in our day to day transactions, tap and go appears to have stoutly replaced hand to hand barter-like exchanges. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: penny for a lost thought by redbrick 4 years 13 weeks* ago* Your innovative and blazing: Your innovative and blazing imagination has tackled, spectacularly, and with some startling personification, the ghosts of jaded yesterdays. Amazing! Truly enjoyed this emotional avalanche that tumbled from your expert pen. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Trump Will Rule Again by ramonathompsont 4 years 13 weeks* ago* Forgive me for raising this: Forgive me for raising this question. Didn't the Founders object to the idea of one person, like George III, ruling? Only Law rules in this country. No one man---not even the Innkeeper---is permitted to rule us: he can only carry out the Constitutional responsibilities of his office. The Constitution does not acknowledge, and the electorate (if they are thinking clearly) does not elect, rulers. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: 3. Dancing by rachel 4 years 13 weeks* ago* Now the Sojourner performs: Now the Sojourner performs and there is an inner whirlwind in pace with the breathless movements that suggest freedom and unleashed joy. The short, staccato lines, beginning as a whispering flutter, soon pulse with empowerment: a triumph over fear, physical pain and heartbreak. "Unbodied, insane!" you fly to the summit of who you truly are. What a trip! Love this amazing series. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: 2. Town to Town by rachel 4 years 13 weeks* ago* I'm grateful to Starward for: I'm grateful to Starward for encouraging you to continue this reflective, poignant and wistful journey—an odyssey both literal and emotional. We would certainly be missing out without your soulful and picturesque creation that culminates in a firestorm of beauty and a clever play on words: "I live by the dimmed light of love. I raced to the stars like Icarus But instead of falling I grew up" Just perfect. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: 1. Sojourner by rachel 4 years 13 weeks* ago* A brilliantly conceived,: A brilliantly conceived, artfully penned character study of carefully concealed pain. You did a superb job of transferring the experience to the reader: Don't we all, at times, "dance,/ though weeping" in our everyday, human performance? Particularly profound was "the stillness between the weeping and dancing" where the Sojourner becomes the audience and the world becomes a frantic, fleeting stage play. You leave much open to interpretation with an ingenious economy of words, and that is, to me, the gold standard of art. Stunned and applauding. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: On The Steps Of The Jefferson Memorial by Starward-Led 4 years 13 weeks* ago* Yes, it is somewhat shocking: Yes, it is somewhat shocking to learn the truth about some of them. They were fallible and imperfect, and yet God and History used them to create a Republic that, until recently, has been envied all over the world, and imitated (most often poorly) by many, Sad that from 2017-2020, this nation became a pale imitation of itself, and dismissed so many of its highest ideals.

crypticbard commented on: On The Steps Of The Jefferson Memorial by Starward-Led 4 years 13 weeks* ago* I have rather belatedly: I have rather belatedly learned of the darker side of this celebrated historical public figure. So much had been glossed over in our history textbooks that we elevated causes and men that a deeper look would show us otherwise. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: In the Infinite Now by patriciajj 4 years 13 weeks* ago* Thank you kindly, sublime: Thank you kindly, sublime poet. Your gorgeous and precise reflections poured light through the cracks of a difficult day. Your support means so much. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Aetia, He Slipped His Shoes Off During Class by Starward-Led 4 years 13 weeks* ago* Thank you. Those words will: Thank you. Those words will keep the sequence going, for sure. To me, for this particular sequence, it is more important for it to serve the readers to whom and for whom it is intended than to state anecdotes from my autobiography or imagination.

patriciajj commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Aetia, He Slipped His Shoes Off During Class by Starward-Led 4 years 13 weeks* ago* I love the way this crucial: I love the way this crucial series is evolving, and it's an excellent strategy to make the poems more generalized and accessible. You're not gushy. You're sincere. And that is gift. God bless. [ go to comment ]
