redbrick commented on: I’m the Only One on This Plane Still Awake by Misterioso 34 weeks 5 days* ago* This poem not only: This poem not only describes a landscape, but it inhabits a metaphysical condition. It seems to ask: what happens when the world is emptied of life, filled with echoes of intellect, and ruled by a physics that remembers what we forget? and overarching insight is that we live in an idea constructed by naively animated hands, feels both mystical and damning. There’s existential weariness behind that observation, something Beckett-like, even childlike: the world built carelessly by makers unsure of their own blueprint. Yet even in its unreliable nature, it offers “magnificent wonder.” [ go to comment ]

S74r5p4r3d commented on: she who asked the Fire to speak by redbrick 34 weeks 6 days* ago* With this very classical: With this very classical poem, you take a rightful place among those Poets---including Homer and Vergil---who have defined the existence of the Muses. [ go to comment ]

redbrick commented on: a psalm, not for you by redbrick 34 weeks 6 days* ago* It is a privilege to hear: It is a privilege to hear this but still not sure how many voices would agree. The only consolation is that though most if not all these wonders have no physical remains left, just like poems, they live on in hearts and souls and a select few in curricula around the world. Thank you, most humbly, S74r5p4r3d RBK [ go to comment ]
redbrick commented on: from the Archives of the Sunbeam by redbrick 34 weeks 6 days* ago* So glad that the lozenge: So glad that the lozenge sized bullet points didn't detract. Taking a bow and arrow rather than a bow and curtsy, perhaps both... it's hunting season! [ go to comment ]
redbrick commented on: a constellatory chorus by redbrick 34 weeks 6 days* ago* Thank you dear Patricia. I am: Thank you dear Patricia. I am most appreciative of these words, these thoughts that adorn the poetic process. [ go to comment ]
redbrick commented on: a constellatory chorus by redbrick 34 weeks 6 days* ago* Of course, dear StarSpared;: Of course, dear StarSpared; who am I to deny such instructions. Let the poem do its work, the poet's work has already been done. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: a constellatory chorus by redbrick 34 weeks 6 days* ago* Each member of the cosmic: Each member of the cosmic chorus, unique and yet one, sang with the expansive perspective, thundering realness and personal passion of themselves as well as the Source of all Creation. Each voice was more mind-bending and gripping than the next and you culminated the symphony with an ethereal Love that cut deep . . . astonished me with raw Truth. The emotional aftermath was almost too beautiful to bear. Bravo, maestro! [ go to comment ]
S74r5p4r3d commented on: a constellatory chorus by redbrick 34 weeks 6 days* ago* Rather than gush about: Rather than gush about the ABSOLUTE AND EXQUISITE VERBAL BEAUTY of this poem, I wll say, rather, this, which I am also going to leave as instructions to my family: if I am lucidly conscious at the hour of my death, I want this poem to be read to me as I get ready to soar out. If that cannot be done, I would like to have it read at my funeral . . . if you will give me permission in advance for that. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: from the Archives of the Sunbeam by redbrick 34 weeks 6 days* ago* After setting a stage so: After setting a stage so sumptuous with meaning and calm, we enter the adorable alchemy and furry mysticism of the feline realm. . . and learn what authentic living is. A masterclass in ultra innovative metaphors and evocative imagery and sage messaging and, oh hell, everything that the best of the best poetry should be! Take a bow, ninja Poet! [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: What Is the Night Without You? by patriciajj 35 weeks 3 hours* ago* "celestial elegy” Why: "celestial elegy” Why didn’t I think of that as a title? Again you pierce the surface of my words and distill every intention to a luminous and elegant essence. Thank you immensely for your generous analysis and vital encouragement. Forgive me if I don’t have the time and energy to give your creations the attention they deserve, but you have my deepest gratitude and greatest respect. A huge "Thank You!" [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: Last Inch of Flame by patriciajj 35 weeks 4 hours* ago* You drilled deep with such: You drilled deep with such vision, wisdom and precision that I consider this an expansion of my thoughts—a poetic follow up and therefore the highest praise. Thank you for your gift. Retired now, I no longer chase the almighty dollar, but I do have family responsibilities and personal endeavors that keep me very preoccupied and less motivated to read and write poetry. That’s why I’m not around much, but I do intend to return to your page when I get a chance and read your latest wonders. You have the gift, and I would be a poorer soul if I missed your poetic sorcery in the distraction of mundane living. Stay inspired, Mage of Words. [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd-13d commented on: a psalm, not for you by redbrick 35 weeks 16 hours* ago* The modern poetic equivalent: The modern poetic equivalent to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is your poems, this one particularly towering over the poetic landscapeof this site like the Great Lighthouse of Alexandria. The Divine walking barefoot through metaphor and not flinching from queerness is particularly apt and beautiful, a phrase that generates a cosmic power that produces the by-products of light and warmth.
