what’s coming down the pipe:   You know what’s coming down the pipe. It’s unavoidable at this point. Too many people stopped caring. That’s all it takes.

The depth of this feels with: The depth of this feels with understanding what many a modern person exists with and denies with their outward veneer; we have but to see social media posts and interactions as to the veracity of this truth. Thanks for sharing.

crypticbard commented on: a poet's tears by redbrick 4 years 21 weeks ago
Thank you. Back in the day we: Thank you. Back in the day we were prohibited by our tutors from writing anything about the topic of poetry as if it were a deadly sin against the art. It felt strange and out of place. And each time a poem about poetry arises, I feel an inner tug and a feeling of doing something that breaks the tenets of poetry itself. LOL.

Starward commented on: keep yearning by Pungus 4 years 21 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!

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.
