i love how the poem starts with “so”. it makes it seem, simultaneously, like the introduction to a conversation and like the last argument, resolution.
the images that you employ are really beautiful because they are so detailed and so abstract at the same time!
really well done, your poetry is beautiful. this is the perfect example for that

Always think poems are just small stories, and in reality they are. The reader wants inside the story to take them on a journey, and if they like the journey, the format is pretty irrelevant.

well I for one think you deserve a darn good pat on the back .. achieving this kind of standard is no mean feat under any circumstances but when faced with so many poetic/model constraints .. even a pat on the back seems insufficient recognition .......... and no kiddin, I would never dare try it .......

I like your writing .. nicely expressed ))
and that you were inspired by Emily Dickenson
I once had someone on another poetry site say one of my poems was a bit like how she writes .. not sure why

Good write Rocky.
As I say, my poems are not strictly in metre. I don\'t look into accents on certain syllables, etc. So I call it \'fomat\' instead of \'metre\' now.

Fantastic read! I read a novel where part of the world was in total darkness (no sun at all) and the other part was always bright (24 hours sun). Mayhem, wars.....

Sombre thoughts, but we live in uncertain times. There are many things to be concerned or worried about right now, but some of those things we can do nothing about. If the sun does eventually explode we are doomed, and we can do nothing about it. All we can do is try to be kind to our planet, and kind to each other, and hope for the best! As for life after death - I hope there is, but only time will tell! A thought-provoking write... as my comment will testify to!

You said it! \"All the things mankind has been searching for, Isn\'t in this world\" Your poetry is so full of metaphors and is quite beautiful but I go back to the last line I quoted because some people worship their things and some people money.....it\'s beyond the beyond. When we are gone we will know the true meaning of life. Great one again, Rocky!!

Belittlement must surely start in primary school, and definitely continues in senior school.
Sadly, some people get a kick out of it, and you usually find they lack self-esteem too.

The similes here are really good--the cross around the sinful neck is powerful to me (a Christian).
I can\'t speak as strongly to the others but I do get the references
Well done!

A Masterful write Rocky. A complete Gem, but the two lines that really pulled on me most were the last two. Top Shelf Work Rocky. 😉

Resonating loud and clear. Powerful lines to remind us that everyone of us is worthy. We are all tiny cogs together.

This was amazing. I loved the metaphor. Such a stark difference between such an innocent act and the dark one. I really enjoyed reading this.
