Starward commented on: Yearning human heart by Pungus 3 years 36 weeks* ago* I just had to visit this: I just had to visit this magnificent poem again. It resonates so deeply, and raises such echoes of other poems that I have read in the decades since I began reading poetry, that I am almost overwhelmed by admiration, nostalgia, and a sense that I will be visiting this poem again and again. Few poems strike me this deeply, but this one did! [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: a poet's tears by redbrick 3 years 36 weeks* ago* For decades I have loved: For decades I have loved poems that are about writing poetry---like many of Wallace Stevens'. The virginal leaves of the ninth line echoes and allude to the "leaf" simile in Homer's Iliad and John Milton's Paradise Lost. This poem demonstrates your customary verbal elegance. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: Scorched porch by Pungus 3 years 36 weeks* ago* Patricia has described the: Patricia has described the poem so well that the only thing I can add is that I agreed wholeheartedly with her remarks. This is an excellent poem. Your skill with compression is perfectly deployed here, but the depth of the tale it presents is profound. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Scorched porch by Pungus 3 years 36 weeks* ago* Sharply-etched and highly: Sharply-etched and highly symbolic imagery tells a story of desperation and self-destruction. Your haunting images blaze in my imagination as I connect with the experience. Small poem. Massive journey. Excellent. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Trump is the word by Teytonon 3 years 36 weeks* ago* Although this poem may be: Although this poem may be criticized by one of the trumpsters (mine have), it presents a foundational truth that is being confirmed by the televised hearings: the Innkeeper simply cannot accept that he was fired by the electorate. This poem is more than a "great write" (if I may borrow the phrase): it is also an excellent poem. [ go to comment ]
