tumbleweed commented on: Beneath Wing Shadow by saiom 4 years 33 weeks* ago* I saw an owl corpse once: A peacock corpse too. Are the owls and eagles also innocent of this, or predators to preach against? [ go to comment ]

lyrycsyntyme commented on: Concession: In The Spirit Of Lent by Starward-Led 4 years 33 weeks* ago* Write like these are your last days: ..for that is a gift to yourself and us appreciative readers and fellow compatriots of Postpoems. But, in midst of it, I hope your forecast proves wrong, and there are many lenten seasons still ahead that beckon you here. Be well. Looking forward to what you share next. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Wedding Guest (Part II) by allets 4 years 33 weeks* ago* Atmospheric and spellbinding.: Atmospheric and spellbinding. I'm there in the dim, pulsing pub where "the life risk everyone/ goes on about blazed where no/ woman had gone before midnight." The last line sets the stage for suspense. Great stuff. I'm listening . . . [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Wedding Guest (Part I) by allets 4 years 33 weeks* ago* You know how to spin an: You know how to spin an intriguing story! You have my attention. And your poetic sleight of hand is on overdrive. Such ingenious narration in every line. "Black robes" flapping "to old Stevie Wonder lyrics". Only you could pull that one off. Amazing writing. This certainly will be fun. [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: Eloquence Bespoken by allets 4 years 33 weeks* ago* Lately: . Not a lot of method, message paramount. So much going on globally. I just reposted my ENGLISH FOR POETS series. Clay feet, firmly planted, foot loose - it is good to have a foundation. Poetry fever-better than Covid-19, that's fo sho! . ~A~. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Eloquence Bespoken by allets 4 years 33 weeks* ago* When it comes to advice,: ..always have it right in the home, first : ) As you have. [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: Eloquence Bespoken by allets 4 years 33 weeks* ago* These are my favorite lines also: In a mood to write it down uniquely, as self-advised. P ;D [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: rocket wasp by Pungus 4 years 33 weeks* ago* Original title: What follows does not disappoint. "A scary wasp harrasses me" is taken up seven fold by "with death poison gurgling". But, hey, why stop there? Taking it up another several notches with a "crimson rocket body" and a blade stinger. Let me tell you, if I could write like this at six years old (hell, I can't write like this now), I can think of a very real wasp that felt every bit as awful, and seemed every bit as frightening as your literary figure. Lost my red rocket ice that day (speaking of rockets). My thumbnail fell off from the sting, as well. But everything else is black and white in my memory next to that bright red ice. Even the blood from my thumb. Ah, what six year old's find most important : ) [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Eloquence Bespoken by allets 4 years 33 weeks* ago* Eloquent, in itself : ): Beautifully wrapped, sound advice, through and through. "Sing a new view unfelt, unheard." That may be my favorite line pair here, though there's so many to choose from. But I find them to be a gentle nudge that is at the heart of it all. Such profoundness in "the sole and lone only / is the gem under water / the precious metal / separated from stone". You have yourself, in this poem, once more separated a gem from stone.

lyrycsyntyme commented on: There Is A Woman In Town by lyrycsyntyme 4 years 33 weeks* ago* Thank you!: Encourages me, that I did the story some justice. To be a griot must have carried with it a great amount of honor and responsibility. I imagine one would have to develop a tremendous amount of trust within the community to have listening ears gather, and aging mouths pass the baton of the past along. Within such, all of life that has come already is allegory for other times which are to come. I have not done a ton in this mold for some time now, but have an open borders policy with styles, so when the moment seems right it just naturally unfolds. I just felt really compelled. I definitely recommend it. With your skills and writing experience, and plenty of stories to tell, I imagine there are some real possibilities, indeed. [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: There Is A Woman In Town by lyrycsyntyme 4 years 33 weeks* ago* Your Prose Rocks: Balance and form so meticulously woven. A tale is told by scops and griots. Extended prose is allegory, right? I may try this - it has possibilities. ~A~ [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: La rose by Sigma_VDR 4 years 33 weeks* ago* I think: "hoping to see a rose blooming in the ruins" perchance! ~A~ [ go to comment ]
