@ 27.225 MHz: Tanka To Thank Patriciajj

Never again will

I compare you to Stevens

or Eliot; no,

never---as, in my reading,

you now tower above them.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

No one, not even Pop Stevens, has spoken to my soul like her poems have.  I will once offer a paraphrase of a remark made by Ezra Pound:  READ HER!

Your motivation, feedback and

Your motivation, feedback and support have made all the difference, in fact, there are more than a few poems that may never have been written without the morale boosts that kept me reaching for my pen and notebook, so it is I who should continually thank you, a talented poet who has kept me reaching higher. 

 

My humble gratitude.

Thank you for saying that. 

Thank you for saying that.  Since February, when browsing first brought me to your cosmic vision and evocations, my life has been much different in the best way due to your poems.  Although still afflicted, and mostly immobilized, your words have helped me soar.  You helped me settle once and for all on Starward, and you helped me rejoice in a truth about one special summer that I have suppressed for over four decades.  Your words have touched so much of my life.
