patriciajj commented on: Pacioli Wisdom by Spinoza 4 years 28 weeks* ago* If there's any physical proof: If there's any physical proof of intelligent design it would certainly be the divine proportion that Pacioli taught Da Vinci and that you, with breathtaking brevity, distilled in this profound summary of the nature of reality. From "molecular vibrations /to /the swirl of galaxies", you took us on a tour of the inner artistry of all form— the very mind of God, and then you made it personal. By daring to believe, we are no longer just passengers on this physical train, but drivers of our own destinies, sparks from the eternal flame: "[artists] of divine proportions" An inspired and marvelous peek behind the curtain.

patriciajj commented on: Dear Pain by allets 4 years 28 weeks* ago* I'm stunned by the innovative: I'm stunned by the innovative way you address the "unshakable" nemesis. There's exasperation, yet also defiance and power in your voice. Absolutely brilliant! [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: A enemy of My heart by Daniel-59 4 years 28 weeks* ago* Message To Pain: . Dear Pain, . You have large connotations too many to list, number, or define. . So unshakable like an an unscratchable itch, as if you were a talisman that has lost your luck. . Sincerely Mine, The Pained . Lady A 02-17-16 1057p [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: meanwhile I dance to the midnight blues by Daniel-59 4 years 28 weeks* ago* Nice Lines: "...counting reasons to go on/reasons I should quit" . Economy - emotion bared, universal for all whi have possessed and given up. Empathy melds into the confession - a rare style; clear, unrehearsed. ~A~. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: ONCE YOU’RE A FAILURE by georgeschaefer 4 years 28 weeks* ago* Thank you. This far into my: Thank you. This far into my allotted life soan, those memories are no longer unpleasant, as I am remindered, with each remembrance, that I was led around, or over, or through the obstruction. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: The fight by Chandapanda420 4 years 28 weeks* ago* Very real emotions: ..easy to sympathize with, in their rawness and relatability. With love, it is hardest of all to know where the line in the sand is. From purely a poetic perspective, it is interesting the way you used periods in unexpected places to alter the flow of the poem, as well as create empahsis and, of course, pauses. On a personal level, I do hope you find the answer you need, very soon. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Nova Vox by rachel 4 years 28 weeks* ago* Please forgive me for a: Please forgive me for a second comment, but I wanted to make some remarks about the poem as a poem. It alludes, both in its title and in its text, to the pattern of a classic ghost story, the speaker haunted---but by the remnants of an emotion from personal history instead of a ghost in the traditional sense. And is the emotion that is doing the haunting a sum, a sum of several fragments (Eliot's statement, near the end of The Waste Land: "These fragments I have shored against my ruin.")? By making such an allusion, your poem---in my opinion---gives the grief and sorrow it expresses a universal resonance, a place in the canon. I am so very much impressed by this poem. I am sorry for my delay in commenting: I continue to be radically ill. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: IF by pamschwetz 4 years 28 weeks* ago* In an ideal world,: it is very much how you pen it here. We each only grow by being able to expose all of our branches to the light, even those that may not yet be healthy. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Sworn To Tell The Truth, The Whole Truth by saiom 4 years 28 weeks* ago* Indeed,: you are quite on point. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Vegan, Vegetarian, And Fruitarian Business and Foundation Leaders by saiom 4 years 28 weeks* ago* Yet: they all have eaten the flesh of the poor. And no less then some of them have raped the flesh of woman and/or children. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Nova Vox by rachel 4 years 28 weeks* ago* And, from a literary: And, from a literary standpoint, you do not need to explain it otherwise---because I doubt (after reading in poetry for forty-nine years as of last month) that it could be stated more succinctly; and yet, in those four brief lines is an energy, just waiting to be released by expression, that turns the lines into four coiled springs. While brevity has never been one of my strengths, I recognize its presence in your work, and that you deploy it to the advantage of the poem. Which then becomes the advantage of the reader. No one asked T. S. Eliot to explain the grief he expressed so forcefully in The Waste Land. No one, with any ability to appreciate classica music, wishes that any of Chopin's Nocturnes had been written differently. The enormous anguish described in Poet/Ambassador Paul Claudel's play, Parting At Noon, is---while almost unbearable to watch in a theatrical reenactment---not too short (as to be severely truncated, although some in the audience could wish it so), and not too long (as to be diffused among words and less effective).
