S74rw4rd-13d commented on: the astrolabe of regret by redbrick 46 weeks 23 hours* ago* You already know that I love: You already know that I love astronomical poems . . . so this one is a tremendous blessing. After reading it, I was so smitten by admiration that I needed to lean back in my chair and just let the poem wash over me. My enjoyment of your poems proves, I believe, that there is a circularity to life: reading your poem transports me into that starlit realm I first entered during my adolescence. Your poems do not take me "back" to that time; they take me forward to it, because the path is not linear but orbital. [ go to comment ]
redbrick commented on: The Carrot Carriage by Pungus 46 weeks 1 day* ago* Queenie’s addition really: Queenie’s addition really changes the energy; she turns the piece from a solitary, brooding monologue into a grotesque little carnival. I like how her bitter, theatrical voice contrasts with the narrator’s solemn tone, almost like madness stepping out into the open. [ go to comment ]
redbrick commented on: the narrow throat by redbrick 46 weeks 1 day* ago* I remember in the sixth grade: I remember in the sixth grade doing a multispread research paper about ancient kingdoms of this region, all of that was pre-Google and a lot of "footwork." It was lots fun, though. Probably a venture with the same internsity as your Shelley days. [ go to comment ]

redbrick commented on: The Carrot Carriage by Pungus 46 weeks 1 day* ago* Now this appears to be a less: Now this appears to be a less than straightforward story and more a surreal horror vignette. A lone narrator sits on a porch under a howling moon, sensing death at the door as their thoughts unravel into strange, poetic fragments. Images of ash, fountains, and scorched land blur with muttered confessions, creating a mood of dread and madness. Beneath the gothic atmosphere, the piece reads like a meditation on mortality, futility, and the thin line between sanity and the supernatural; all with the ominous sound of “clickity clack” hinting that something is drawing ever closer.

S74rw4rd-13d commented on: the narrow throat by redbrick 46 weeks 2 days* ago* Decades ago, I wanted to: Decades ago, I wanted to study the Ancient History of this region. But I now realize that the footnotes, bibliographies, and debates would have sapped my enthusiasm. It took a long time to realize that; and poems like this one remind me of what I love most about that place and the various ages and cultures that have affected it. Thank you, a thousand times over for writing and posting this BRILLIANT poem!!! [ go to comment ]
