S74rw4rd commented on: To The Poet, The Eminent Constantine Cavafy [XLIX] by J-C4113D 50 weeks 5 days* ago* Thank you so very much for: Thank you so very much for that comment. Looking at the several failed relationships and missed opportunities in his past, Cavafy found a way to redeem them by bringing what was beautiful (or instructive) in them into a lasting poetry in which others could, in a way, commune in his fellowship even after his soar had gone on to the stars. In the last few days, I have been feeling my own massive list of failures and miss-outs very sharply. I should like to think that the poems that emerge from that chaos can, provides, as Cavafy said, "a perception of the beautiful" to those who read them. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: smoke and mirrors by redbrick 50 weeks 5 days* ago* Brilliant! The structure: Brilliant! The structure sharply illustrates the nerve-jangling, dead-end process suffered by anyone who has ever had the experience of interacting with an irrational, slippery control freak. You even listed, in ascending order of aggravation, some of the verbal abuser's favorite infuriating, mind-numbing tactics used to keep one ensnared in their juvenile labyrinth. Then realizing they just aren't worth our time and effort, you mock the lunacy with hilarious word play and bring the poem to an outrageously delightful, visual conclusion. Spot on and thoroughly enjoyable. [ go to comment ]

Pungus commented on: Shakespeare quotes by Teytonon 51 weeks 1 day* ago* you should check it out: your first quote, though incomplete lacking it's finishing 'full of sound and fury' was what Faulkner used as a title to his book, which is really good. [ go to comment ]

Teytonon commented on: If only the years were knowledge. by S.X.K 51 weeks 3 days* ago* Thank you for this..: Thank you for this wonderful poem. If I may add the following: If only the years were knowledge I'm sure some of us, as we grow older Would accrue enough knowledge to graduate college While others, who no matter how old they get Still play the fool and will be in grade school And of course, there are a few, sad to say Who will still be in pre-K!

patriciajj commented on: The Art of Human Suffering by FuriousIce 51 weeks 4 days* ago* It takes uncommon skill to: It takes uncommon skill to turn anguish into outstanding art. What a ride! Every twist and turn of intricate thought, every juxtaposition of words, every jolt of unsettling reality was penned with sheer brilliance. How I wanted to swim against some of your stark, immersive waves of defeat and travail, but I have been in this place at times myself and made the same observations about society that I couldn't help making a strong connection to your words. The fury, the catharsis, at the end was palpable. A spectacular and explosive study of despair. Amazing stuff. [ go to comment ]
