Garth Rakumakoe said:
The duality of love, acceptance and desire screams so loud in this piece Rocky, yet, at the same time, lovingly so. You weave a blessed pen my friend. 🙏🏼

I found that very neat and very funny, Rocky.... but then I always enjoyed something subtle, on the dark side....

Good for you, Rocky. Not going to say \'Best Wishes\' as it has undertones (or overtones) of Good bye - and I\'m pretty sure that isn\'t going to happen.

It is a perfect endeavor that I employ to clear my foggy brain. Just to say I was singing Barbra Streisand tubes out loud and my dog ran and hid. Who knew he disliked Streisand THAT MUCH??

Good write R.
My record\'s got stuck in the groove, I say, my records got stuck in..... etc!
Do shut up Orchi, say Fido my imaginary dog. Remember him, he barks at poets \'forgetting\' to mark certain poems 18+. lol.

Until All\'s Undone
Garth Rakumakoe said:
You excavate emotions your own way. Your originality is ever remarkable. This piece says reveals a lot about vulnerability and heartache, hand in glove. A favorite of mine this, gifted one. Blessing and healing your way... 🙏🏼

Poets Die, Poems Don\'t
Garth Rakumakoe said:
This one is more than just a piece my friend. It\'s letters and words form the indelible footsteps that are your contribution in the writing world. This one says \"Rocky was here\". Vulnerable and endearing... Well done my friend. ❤

Dear Garden of Eden
Garth Rakumakoe said:
Wow!!!
\"Earth\'s treason\" is such a vivid description, I love the speaking voice in the piece, and the harking back ending, transporting one back to a time... Definitely a fave!

Hi Rocky. I read your poem and I think it really strikes at the heart of the matter, with a really resounding title to it as well. Your technical know-how of the creative writing is also quite impressive. Well crafted and impressive!

Censorship is sad. I have had several poems censored on other cites cue to a word or image they found offensive. It is frustrating that one can not express feelings in an artistic manner for fear of offending someone else. Is our wouild that fragil?

When Art is Suppressed (Ghazal)
Bella Shepard said:
Dearest Rocky I feel that I don\'t know my own country any more. This is rapidly becoming a dystopian nightmare of the worst kind. Life inevitably progresses forward, it\'s the only way time can move. Woe to those of little brain who think that they can conquer with meaningless dribble that only comes back to bite them in the end. The only bad part is that we have to live through the muck they create until people realize that the emperor has no clothes. Good for you! Raise your voice, as we all should do. God bless and hope you have a wonderful summer.

Dost Thou Still See Me?
L. B. Mek said:
maybe in June
you should re-share this work
of searching, humility
and a snapshot of a questing
honest heart\'s, embattled
state, in yearning to balance
that juxtaposed fate
curated by fallible human
interpretations
segregating, faith from nature
when, in truth
none of us, can define or verify
what our deities
expect from us, in our ephemeral
lives;
indeed, all we can ever trust is that
being true to ourselves
is as close, as we will ever get
to being granted
a glimpse, beyond that existential
veil...?
\'for naked: I\'m clothed\'
it\'s a harsh reality, to find
your faith as a source of alienation
from your self-worth..
stay strong!
dear emblem of youthful wisdom
stay PROUD!
(not just in June) thanks for sharing

Cockroach!
sorenbarrett said:
In Florida we have palmeto bugs (huge roaches) the size of your thumb. Here in Brazil there are even bigger ones and some of them fly. You can hear them comming from a block away, they are armored and if they hit you (their landings are not well executed) they really hurt. Your poem brought these to mind.
