karlmcallister commented on: a doldrum sea by redbrick 21 weeks 4 days* ago* Nice!: Something very daoist about this poem. Calm, magisterial, so intimately bound up with the details of life and yet so unmoved by them. Beautiful snapshots of life! Peace! [ go to comment ]
karlmcallister commented on: Lessons from the Sea by patriciajj 21 weeks 4 days* ago* Living seems possible here: Wow! Some stunning imagery and some really unforgettable lines. I sense that there were some difficult times in your life behind such striking imagery. As this was written 22 years ago, and as you are stull writing vrilliant stuff, I'm glad you chose life! Interesting pairing of fire and water imagery. So generous with water So lavish with light. What can I say. Peace [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: feedback reverb by redbrick 21 weeks 4 days* ago* “a pause leans into: “a pause leans into itself” I could have stopped right there and felt the full force of your blazing pen. But the best was yet to come. Like all fine, atmospheric art in any form, just a wisp of detail or an evocative visual surging with memory, so much like “reverb”, so restless in stillness, creates more than a feeling: it conjures an experience. As always, a stunner. [ go to comment ]

This stellar tribute has an ageless, explosive, fanciful feeling worthy of the astronomical metaphors you sculpted into eloquence. And that’s no small accomplishment. A heart melting jewel.

Pursia commented on: feedback reverb by redbrick 21 weeks 5 days* ago* Love the cute foreboding: Love the cute foreboding elements of horror on that end-line there: a creature, as it were, reluctantly 'trembling in the beams' or so it seems to me, at least [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd-13d commented on: *What Really* Motivates The Homophobes** by S74rw4rd-13d 21 weeks 5 days* ago* Thanks! The poem was: Thanks! The poem was inspired by bullying I experienced between 1969 and 1974, and now I think I understand their motives and their real lack of self-confidence that they concealed behind almost constant verbal abuse, punctuated by physical assault from time to time. The epithet they constructed around me, "Fairy Jerry" had lingering effects that did not stop until dusk on July 10th, 1976, when I was led to my c.b. handle,"Starwatcher." That, and the distortions of our factory defective c.b., which turned my pipsqueak voice into a heavy baritone, compensated me for the earlier bullying. [ go to comment ]

I was hospitalized recently, as my CHF is worsening. They told me nothing more can be done, so I am back home to await the call home. Thanks for taking time from your busy day to visit.

This poem is true worship. Sorry I’ve been a stranger these past months. The business of living keeps me distracted in best way, but I still keep you in my prayers. Every blessing to you.
