Starward commented on: The Race by Wordman 3 days 11 hours* ago* You chose for your first line: You chose for your first line the very strong verb, "filches." A lesser poet would have have used "steals." You chose the immediate present tense with a strong verb---bravo! Brief lines remind us of the brief moments that, in sum, do all the filching of our lives, one moment after another; long, attenuated, sloggish lines would have sounded more casual, less emergent against us. You chose some great strategy in the deployment of this poem. I applaud it. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: A Soft Ascent by patriciajj 3 days 14 hours* ago* Investors bet on: Investors bet on futures---oil futures, crop futures, I have even heard of pork futures. But I am betting, with not a dime to my name, on Patriciajj poems futures. I remember, at school, reading about Samuel French Morse's often expressed belief in the recognition that Wallace Stevens' poems would bring. He had to wait a bit for Eliot's star to set, and then people began to realize that Stevens was the superior poet. Now, he is an industry for the academics, and a refreshing oasis for those who truly love poetry. Your work will follow a similar, but faster, curve, as you do not have to worry about Old Possum's star. I know of scholars who have envied Sam Morse's perceptive belief. And, futute scholars can envy me that I got to watch you build the great collection. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: To Future Scholars Of The Patrician Style by Starward 3 days 14 hours* ago* And thanks for the reply. : And thanks for the reply. Postpoems has fulfilled two of my long-held dreams: to have a place to publish my poems, and to see a Poet of Greatness at work, to see a towering collection emerge before my eyes---like a stop-motion record of star formation in a nebula. I will applaud you as long as I have applause in me. [ go to comment ]
