crypticbard commented on: Crucible of Light by patriciajj 4 years 15 weeks* ago* This reminds me of a similar: This reminds me of a similar if horticultural image of pruning, were the hurting and severing do not kill but in the healing bring growth and more life, more living. That the calculations however minute are accurate and purposeful, as in the measuring and cutting of diamond facets, imagine the cost of a cutting mistake to the value and the finished product. And much more than the art and the science and math of it all is the heart and the spirit from which flow the wellsprings of life. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: *Yet [/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Leadings Toward Stars; An Epigram Inspired By LXX Psalm 69:4 And Habakkuk 3:18** by Starward-Led 4 years 15 weeks* ago* His habitation and His glory: His habitation and His glory begins within our soul and from whence is magnified. The Lord bless you and keep you. May His grace abound in you, and all around you as you move into the coming week. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: ribbons in the wind by Pungus 4 years 15 weeks* ago* a meandering but sure journey: For some time now I have been hounded by Matejko's "Stańczyk" and have proceeded to extricate myself from that man in the mirror with definite likenesses of the soul's parts. And that brings this journey adjacent to the seeking of forgiveness along a path of chanting and whispering. This is probably the top contender to my personal glory poetry. And for that there is you to thank. [ go to comment ]

georgeschaefer commented on: COCKSUCKER OF ANOTHER KIND by georgeschaefer 4 years 15 weeks* ago* I wasn't speaking: I wasn't speaking specifically about poets being assholes here although it does happen. This was more about a lot of my friends, acquantances and co-workers in the real world. But yeah, there are some poets that can be real assholes, too. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: COCKSUCKER OF ANOTHER KIND by georgeschaefer 4 years 15 weeks* ago* I am always amazed at how: I am always amazed at how some very literate people, even poets, will bash another poet for his or her orientation and who he or she loves. Vergil who, far more than Homer, is foundational to all of Western literature, and was even considered by the early Christians to be a prophet of Christ's advent, was not hetero; and no one, during his lifetime in Rome, was the least bit bothered about it; not even his pal, the Emperor Augustus, who was a reactionary on so many other issues. We poets of the Western literary tradition are the spiritual daughters and sons of Vergil; and if some of us bash others for their orientation, we betray and dishonor the grandeur of his accomplishment.

Starward commented on: @ 27.225 MHz: WallStones; Landing Report [XLIX] by Starward-Led 4 years 16 weeks* ago* Thank you so much. Although: Thank you so much. Although I really liked the character Trystan, and wanted to present him, I was nervous about the poem because of the use of certain terms (like the name of the planet on which the ship lands; and, following the example of Cordwainer Smith's stories. Your comment gives me encouragement to continue on with poems like this. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: @ 27.225 MHz: WallStones; Landing Report [XLIX] by Starward-Led 4 years 16 weeks* ago* The "Landing Report" is a: The "Landing Report" is a clever device for an endearing and fanciful character study, brimming with all the hallmarks of quiet rebellion and confident authenticity. The subject is further illuminated by the speaker of the poem who shows a deep admiration for the highly skilled, multidimensional, barefoot maverick with a recognizable inner beauty as well as physical appeal. It was a shrewd choice to make the observer remain detached and professional in spite of Trystan's allure because this added a subtle tension, more provocative than anything obvious or explicit. The narrator, with a melodic artistry slipping into the professional report, remains fascinated with the free spirit's insistence on foregoing shoes to the very end. The last line has an open-ended quality; an invitation, perhaps. The unwritten story leaves an irresistible sense of possibility and intrigue. Another celebration of love in this crucial and varied series. [ go to comment ]
