The world may not be able to recognize all great people, but whenever I get the opportunity to meet a great person, I keep them in my heart; Aunty Pat, you are in my heart. I love your poems not only because they reflect beautiful and attractive thoughts but there is a character in the poems as I read which I believe is the character of the poet who wrote them: love - purity - truth - beauty - admiration and uniqueness; these I see in your poems and I love them. I thank God for making me know you, I hope we meet in persons one day. God bless you.
Poet Grantham, I have added you to my list of great poets because your work is both creative and compelling and I will return again and again to be inspired and blessed!
Hey Pat I notice we share the same birth date and therefore are the same age! And we both write rhyming verse.
I wonder what the astrologers would make of that? BTW thanks for comment on my Song Child's Play.
Cheers from Sydney Dave SmithWhite.

One of the most blessed poets on PH, she doesn't only write but wields her pen in a way that her poems reach the reader's hearts...............I wish her a bright future.may god bless her with his infinite grace...........
My heartiest congratulation to the poet Patrcia Grantham on the recognition of her poem A Faithful Friend as the Member Poem of the day. I did comment on this poem much earlier.
At the outset poet Patricia is a decent human being with a very kind heart. She is a lovely composer. I love reading her poems because of their contents and lovely rhyming.
Here I declare that she is the first person of the very few amongst the poets' fraternity who encouraged me to write and with their encouragement only I get the impetus to write further.... A lovely fellow feeling for the fellow poets.
Her regard & belief to God, sympathy to the distressed is remarkable.
I wish her the success in this poetic field with a good health and peace of mind.
My sincere congratulations to Poet Patricia Grantham on the occasion of her poem A Faithful Friend being chosen as Member Poem of the Day today. This poem is representative of the quality of her poems. Her poems depict human relations, deep concerns for society, advice to young and old and so on. She uses rhyme to express ideas in precise and simple words. I have read and commented for almost all her poems and appreciated the beauty of content and depth of feelings in each of them.
Poet Patricia provides encouragement to fellow poets with her comments full of deep understanding and appreciation. I always look forward to her reading my poem. May she be blessed with health and energy to write more and more poems on this site to share.
Patricia is an avid reader of poetry (her comments can be seen almost everywhere on PoemHunter) and a tireless, enthusiastic composer of sweetly crafted lyrics. Her basic strength is vivid description, empathy for the subjects and a fluent diction with a penchant for metre and rhyme. She frequently employs classical tools to address contemporary subjects.
Different topics require different tools for composition. Metrical composition cannot do justice to all kinds of poems. Some of Patricia's poems, I feel, cry out for free verse treatment. I would love her to break free, take wings and to fly into hitherto undiscovered territories of poetic styles that mankind has yet to unearth... She is naturally gifted. But she should experiment a lot. Poetry is all about finding inner freedomt hrough constant search. It is all about finding the exact words, exact music, to express your exact thoughts. Sometimes it takes ages to find that one exact word - but it is always worth the effort! !
One recurrent underlying aspect of Patricia's poetry is her sympathy for the underprivilged and the less cared for. Another aspect which makes one fall in love with Patricia is her lack of pretensions in choice of phrases or idioms - although sometimes the rhyming appears a bit a laboured. The earthy simplicity in her diction wins her many friends.
Each poet is unique and should be respected for his/her own style and craft. My own style is very different from Patricia's. What I appreciate in her work is her dedication to her craft. By constantly chiselling away at one's God given natural ability, one can hope to attain perfection someday. I wish Patricia that Perfection in her chosen path...
..love your poems Patricia..you are immensely talented and a gifted poetess..please keep writing..I give you a perfect ten for all your brilliant writings..
Patricia Grantham is indeed a genial presence on poemhunter! Her poetry like balm, cools and comforts and relieves the mind of all dull pains! ! Her perfectly rhyming verse in unlaboured style, carrying the messages of love and compassion is a joy to read.
Patricia is there to give a gentle' pat' to all of us! ! Let her thrive glorious in the world of poetry! !
I have met many poets on many sites, and have had a lot of comments about my poetry and me, but to be honest
I had yet to find a person who can touch my mind and soul with such depth as you have in your writings.
we are very much alike in the sense that we can cover different subjects and yet stay focused on what we are feeling at the moment and being able to put it into rhyme and verse (which I find it harder than prose)
I honor you and your depth of GOD, LOVE, AND FAITH. (thank you)
patricia ma'am is more like a storyteller, her pieces are brilliant and full with emotions, when i read her poem it is like i am living them she have ability to put life into her words which is magical and will give you experience of wonderful world that you will never forget...may you get the best in everything
