Dear Starward

 

You breathe brilliance.

You conceive of ethereal hints

within the brimming bliss

of Poetry Forever Ever After.

You are an example of pure wit

that is hard to examplify.

Because the Tragic is fused

into nightmarish refusal, you --

you who reign as real smart --

gift the grievous by redemption

in impeccable soul-solacing art.

You are not merely a

"cabbage fart." My respects,

friend whom I depend upon.

Please forgive another

Please forgive another comment of mine, but I revisited this again just to decide whether a decision I have just made is correct; and, yep, it is correct and right, and I am glad to have decided thusly.

A superb tribute that is

A superb tribute that is worthy of the gifted poet and "example of pure wit" that has brought so much wisdom and "soul-solacing art" to Postpoems. It's such an encouragement to see poets support each other. We need more light-infused and elevating poetry such as this.

I visited this again when I needed most to see it, and found it very salutary to me; and I continue to be very, very grateful for its presence on postpoems.

Wow!  That left me

Wow!  That left me speechless, so this may be short, but be assured, my gratitude is not short at all.  Thank you so much for posting this, certainly unexpected, but . . . I assure you . . . most appreciated.  The timing is great, because next week I have a difficult physical therapy session, and one rough medical procedure (Thursday) followed by somemore difficult physical therapies; and I am starting to become apprehensive, so this poem, and the very kind gesture it represents, has brough new delight to a dismal evening. Thanks again, ever so much.

I pray for you on a motherly-bestowing, best son

You are Supremely sincere to me and my being.

Only that my day, with the exception of this lovely poem and a message or two, has been rather dismal due to my circumstances.  I am a born complainer . . . please forgive me for being overly dramatic.
