S74rw4rd commented on: Soft and Final Landing by patriciajj 9 weeks 5 days* ago* There are always going to: There are always going to readers who either scorn, misunderstand, or condemn your poems. And keep in mind that even Jesus was accused of being in league with the devil during His ministry. I guess that slaphappy stupidity comes with the territory. And that territory, please remember, is to help explain the Cosmos to itself. No single Poet can do the complete job; all of us who are called to that vocation have to do the part assigned to us. Remember how Adam, in Eden, was called to name the animals. That task being finished, we are called, as his sons and daughters, to name and explicate the Cosmos and its many parts: and it is everything from two lovers holding hands to two stars arising from the sa,e nebula and orbiting each other. That can be explicated scientifically, but it also quietly requires---even demands---Poetry to also describe this mechanism. This is the vocation to which you have been called, and until your final poem is written, you will have work to do. [ go to comment ]

J-C4113d commented on: *Yet [/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; A Poem To The EARLY CHRISTIANS** by S74RW4RD 10 weeks 15 hours* ago* Thank you for commenting. : Thank you for commenting. The Early Christians are very important to me; I think that is why I incline to Orthodox Christianity, because it feels more connected to them than the Western version. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Soft and Final Landing by patriciajj 10 weeks 1 day* ago* First, it is an extreme: First, it is an extreme pleasure to have you back. One doesn't realize just what a vital pillar of support and inspiration they have until it is gone, but the deepest sorrow was knowing that you must have been suffering greatly to have been away from your poetic community. I prayed often and I continue to pray with great urgency while you still struggle. Welcome back! And thank you for finding my latest post. Not only did you pinpoint the soul of of my work, but you affirmed the nucleus with two expertly insightful and striking analogies, one contemporary and one Biblical. Then, with pristine understanding, you zeroed in on my purpose, my mission, and declared it accomplished. I'm overwhelmed and humbled. How can I begin to thank you? To my dismay, readers have often misunderstood my work, even connecting it somehow to something sacrilegious, but you don't read more into my poems than was intended, look for devils around every corner or skew my words according to a narrow belief system. You simplify, illuminate and appreciate. Just what I needed. Like "the cosmos going about its business" my gratitude knows no bounds. [ go to comment ]

It has delicacy and dignity, yet still smolders. The illustrious Basho is nodding and wondering: now why didn't I think of that? [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Raise Your Voice, Take That Stand by LittleLennonGurl 10 weeks 1 day* ago* Your words and your energy: Your words and your energy pulse with the same indignation I often feel when the farcical realities of our time hit hard. You give a voice, unflinching and resolute, to the outrage every sane person should feel in the face of tyranny. We need you! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: rosy cheeked by arqios 10 weeks 1 day* ago* We get the whole picture in: We get the whole picture in shimmering and minimal stanzas: the allure, the glorious obsession, the fulfillment. And it all began with a glimpse of beauty and ends with . . . well, that's an open-ended question you shrewdly injected. A brilliant poem of attraction. [ go to comment ]
