crypticbard commented on: And The Court Says by allets 3 years 38 weeks ago
story of my life. How strange: story of my life. How strange that what we grew up knowing is no longer or changing. Such instability is not good for people and nation.

"..the while the world: "..the while the world exphyxiates. Conflagrates."   What great lines, in terms of feel (with that powerful momentary pause adding emphasis), language, and the expressing of a confounding destruction. A burn despite a lack of oxygen.   All sealed with the world issuing it's "ultimate complaint". Another fine threading of yours, right on through the needle.

lyrycsyntyme commented on: ..... All Wounds by Wordman 3 years 38 weeks ago
The second verses' ancient: The second verses' ancient rivers of sorrow really cut at the soul. There's a feeling of tragic acceptance there, coincidencing with a near timeless history. Very powerful.   All around strong feeling throughout this one, and one I imagine that more than a few of us can relate to, but that verse is on it's own level in terms of how well it's written and how much it hits the heart.

Sorry: Supply chain disruption: transporters all work at Amazon now. Just dead and stuck. Note: if you hitch hike, expect inflation in Hell and Paradise. . ~A~ gas is almost 5$ in Mich, 7$ plus in California.

allets commented on: The World As We Know It by LittleLennonGurl 3 years 38 weeks ago
Not New: With time the true nature of things are unveiled. There is a female surgeon who wants to publish pictures of bodies shot with automatic guns. We keep it dark and do evil daily. Pix of napalm girl changed war in Nam, Floydvid sparked world to march and police did not act to save 20 kids and 2 adults. They should all be fired for cowardess. ~A~

I was about to: jump on  that bandwagon. No purple beans! Down with purple m&m's too. Then I remembered, I'm diabetic. Yeah, fu'ed. There are no purple m&ms anyway. Subtle.. :D ~A~

Starward commented on: elegy for Jonathan, the prince by redbrick 3 years 38 weeks ago
This is a beautiful ballad,: This is a beautiful ballad, about two of my favorite characters, David and Jonathan.  Your use of the ballad form, and the quatrains traditionally associated with it, is very adroit, and the use of rhyme keeps the poem moving forward until the final line.    Great poem!!!

Starward commented on: To Be Near You by rachel 3 years 38 weeks ago
The anguish of the speaker's: The anguish of the speaker's emotions radiates with intense power off the lines of this poem.  If this is an actual account of your experience, my heart goes out to you.  I am, however, glad to see another poem from you.  This poem is so intense that it hurts to read it; and that is true on a second or subsequent reading; which makes it a very successful and excellent poem.    So let me say, here:  great poem!
