Comments received on poems by Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet
Requiem in Blue
Gary Edward Geraci said:
A tragic ending for the protagonist in your work Tamara but a potent reminder that death is looming large for each and every one of us. The time to prepare for a good death is right now, today - only because the time of our death is most certainly, uncertain. Peace my sister.

Dueling Violins - Sonnet
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:
The video has been pulled from the internet. Something to do with copyright. I bought the DVD on Amazon and there was also the song called \"Aria\" that is sung by two English women. This song was used for the British Airlines commercial. Check it out.
Aria - Make sure it\'s the daily motion video.

Yanni also wrote a song for his mother that was on that DVD titled Felitsa. This video is on the internet and was placed there when his mother died.
Check it out.
Yanni is a great composer.

The Trinity - E= mc^2 (Sonnet)
Gary Edward Geraci said:
“A brain or a computer cannot generate a completely self-transparent act of thinking, because they are restricted in their activities and operations and in their physical structures and laws, including quantum activities, structures, and laws. No amount of complexity of restricted parts will ever be able to generate an unrestricted act of mentation, because in their totality they will always be restricted.” (Ibid). Energy, Mass, and the Speed of Light constant would fall into the above as “restricted parts” - each caused by God.

The Trinity - E= mc^2 (Sonnet)
Gary Edward Geraci said:
So you and I can also differ and still be friends. My understanding of the Trinity parallels a position first “intimated by Plato and carried to fruition by Boethius, Augustine, and Aquinas in their treatises on the Trinity. Bernard Lonergan and Karl Rahner articulate it in more contemporary terms and concepts.” Spitzer’s “The Soul’s Upward Yearning: Clues to Our Transcendent Nature from Experience and Reason”: “an uncaused cause must be unrestricted and absolutely simple, then it can be in perfect relationship to itself (like an act of self-consciousness) where THERE IS NO DIFFERENTIATION OF PARTS, but only differences in relationships within its self-reflective act. (Ibid, emphasis in caps is mine).

A wonderful weaving of faith and reason in your sonnet Tamara. Einstein and Father Georges Lemaitre (Big Bang) were friends proving that two people with different cosmologies can still get along!

Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:
No, you are mistaken. I never said the universe could be copyrighted.
As well, I never stated what the global churches or governments are doing is correct. I believe that world governments are corrupt.
Yet, having stated all that, I believe in Jesus. He has never steered me wrong and. in truth, He saved me from being mugged one Winter\'s friday night in New York.
I may lose faith in everything associated with this world, but I will never lose faith in Jesus.

A fine write Tamara. yet Einstein is suspect to me. \'Great men are not always wise (or correct)\'. He did not truly believe in a personal God or Christianity, though having tons of worldly wisdom. This is how I see it.

So, to counter that don\'t accept anything from anyone. No gifts. LOL!

The Christmas Angel
Kurt Philip Behm said:
I love this stanza...
\"And at her back are spread two gilded wings:
tranquility to still the raging heart.
I see the ray of hope shine in her face
and in her eyes I see my birth, my death\"

A poignant write Tamara. Thoughtful too, in getting the rhymings.
Similar to Mary anointing Him for burial. Then men helping too, e.g. Nicodemus and Joseph tending to His burial.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:
This is Beautiful Sister TAMARA : So beautiful it made me cry ! Because as a Child I was raised as a Catholic : I immediately recognised it as the 6th Station of the Cross where Veronica wipes he Brow of Jesus with a cloth and is pushed back by the Roman Soldiers. Because of the poignant Subject of the poem : the Villanelle is an excellent Structure because of the repetition of key lines (1 & 3) in verse One. Each verse gives an insight into the suffering of Our Saviour as he journeyed to his Atoning Crucifixion : AMEN
Why did they nail Him to Calvary\'s Tree
Why tell me why was he there ?
JESUS the Helper : The Healer : the Friend
Why tell me me why should he care ?
All my iniquity on Him was laid
He bore it all to the Tree
JESUS the Price of My Sin fully piad
HE bore the Ransom for ME ~ AMEN
Thanks for caring & sharing
LOVE in the SPIRIT

A good write Tamara.
If not so serious a theme, I would have said \'Oohh she\'s a naughty gal; I told her not to go out late at night; she didn\'t listen; she should have gone to bed early and not gone out; now she\'s having a bad-hair day (night)!\' heehee.
Come on Orchi, you\'ve not got the hang of the poem\'s theme! lol.

THANKS TAMARA FOR SHARING A VERY TRAGIC FANTASY ! And yet the sequence you describe reflects in essence the daily experience of many Ladies. I am a CHURCH WORKER and a Student Counselor in College. I hear tales of such experience mainly from Ladies but also Men. Thanks for raising our awareness of LIFE (& DEATH) as it is experienced by many. On a TV Program Tonight some were saying they just wanted the RELEASE of DEATH ! Thanks for caring ~ Yours BRIAN

Whence is this monstrous thing, why & how to treat it...(St Augustine Book VIII Confessions).... a topic dear to my own heart....
