S74rw4rd commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Two Young Men, BoyFriends, Enjoy The Afterglow, 2, Not One Moment Wasted by S74rw4rd 1 hour 49 min* ago* Oh, wow! Another ccomment: Oh, wow! Another ccomment from you . . . this has really made my day! I am so grateful that you have looked at several of my poems today, and my poor words are not at all an adequate expression of that gratitude, This poem was meant to be playful, and just a small naughty wink with a bit of humor, When your words inspired this series, I decided to try to write the kinds of poems I wish I had had access to when I was young. And once in a while, the serious poems need a break with just a little ribald humor. Thanks for validating this one, too. [ go to comment ]

Your validation of these poems is very important, both to me personally, and to the well being and future expansion of the series. [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; BoyFriends At Verging Creek by S74rw4rd 4 hours 12 min* ago* Thank you very much. I am: Thank you very much. I am thrilled to receive this second comment from you today. I am particulrly fond of this poem because Verging Creek, under another name, is an actual place, less than a quarter mile from the residence in which I grew up. It flowery banks and shallow channel became a trysting place for all sorts of couples. [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Devoured In Venice by S74rw4rd 5 hours 26 min* ago* Thank you very much. I: Thank you very much. I really appreciate your comment on this one. I am both fascinated by Mann's story, primarily due to the presence of Tadzio and Jaschu, and repelled by it due to Mann's shabby disrespect for them at the end. I think he gave in to prudery at the end. When Joe Goebels and the clowns of tthe Third Reich started burning books on May 10th of '33, Mann's novella was among them. Despite its flaws, it dd not deserve that kind of treatment; and, despite Goebels' best efforts, it did not die with the book burnings. Have you seen the Visconti film? It is beautiful, although the eventual breach between Tadzio and Jaschu is difficult to watch. I usually rewind the DVR before I get there. [ go to comment ]

This is an excellent character study and a clever, condensed expression that could stand alone or be continued. Enjoyed! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Behold The Light! I Shout! by ramonathompsont 6 hours 34 min* ago* A striking, angelic and: A striking, angelic and exalting invitation into the light. I imagined the shackles of darkness falling and Divine hope rising in the last stanza. A message well sent! [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: @ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Devoured In Venice by S74rw4rd 7 hours 2 min* ago* So much brews under the: So much brews under the surface of this tranquil, atmospheric and enveloping scene that is felt as much as it is seen through the eyes of a wistful observer. Even joyless puritans cannot defile the perilously beautiful, immaculately emotive moment on the beach, with details such as oysters, possible pearls on the beach and formal attire, unfettered or discarded, do double duty as powerful symbols. The delicately smoldering images and the brilliant personification of a sky upstaged by young love was poetry, and storytelling, at its finest. A magnificent addition to the series. [ go to comment ]

Truly glorious! [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: Unquiet Dawn by patriciajj 1 day 3 hours* ago* As you write your poems, you: As you write your poems, you are working along side the Hubble and Webb outer space telescopes. But they are mere machines and can neither interpret nor appreciate what they send forth. You, however, are sentient---one of those consciousnesses that have been chosen for cosmic explication.
