I read mostly crime novels and thrillers. Reading about a serial killer at the moment! I found the contrast between the metaphor and the meaning very interesting.

Who can comprehend the mind of an aberration? Your comparison of a gustatory sensation to a bloodlust sensation, triggering the same response of satisfaction, is so powerful, and frightening. Great write!

I can\'t get into the mindset of those criminals who do such terrible things and theyre done in cold blood so to speak... beyond my comprehension.

Juicy and squirmy your writing today. Definitely provokative and great choice of an opposing metaphor something so loved for somethimg so grisly.

I like your metaphorical representation of desire well painted by veins delicately interlaced followed by strawberry acquisition well captured in \'it pulsates\' and then destruction, corpse.... I think I saw a societal evil being penned here...a woman being mistreated...A worthy poetry. A must read...

A wonderful poem with great metaphors and images \"like the bedsheet that covers the ocean\'s wishful waves\" Uncertainty is the privilege of one that has time.

A brilliant and amusing poem and I must say I\'m some what relieved by the last line haha.

A little fantasy never hurts. It reminds me of an old song by Tex Ritter \"Hillbilly Heaven\" It was fun to read but I would feel a bit out of place there.

Oh that very last line. Never forget that, among all the greats, what shines through is originality... there\'s only one person with your originality.

Sorry, I think my reply is coming later in the day, but this is fabulous!! Imagining each of these poets and what they\'d be doing gives pause....but you would certainly be there where all great poets go..:) This is absolutely lovely!!

Well, we shall be pouring our hearts together
Maybe debating the world how wrong it has gone today?
Or was it worst from the start
Quite an engaging poetry dear Rocky…

Dear Rocky, your poem has lifted me up and made me smile from ear to ear. I love what each of these poets could be doing, and it\'s comforting to think of them this way, they seem so very human. Thank you for the bright spot in my week.

Paul Bell said:

We all grasp inspiration from somewhere. Probably being down maybe draw us out a bit more than being high. I don\'t think I\'ve ever sat down and wrote something, that just doesn\'t happen. I have been in company plenty of times when something\'s came into my head, and excused myself quickly to at least get some words down.

spilleronsheet said:

God or being belief
The faith or our dreams
Anything that keeps our hope alive
Resurrects our fallen self
So beautifully expressed dear Rocky….that’s what makes us and that’s what makes us keep going….

A great piece of advice Rocky and not just for poets but also for everyone who can use other outlets to release tension. I try to improve my awful drawings, practise guitar chords, clean up the house thoroughly.......

I love this! It\'s perfect to \"swallow the sun\" each day and make sure you write. I\'m glad you do! The \"handheld God\" metaphor is so fitting. Great job, Rocky!!!

Good writing abs interesting too ! I have expressed myself and my sadness .. in my poetry sometimes and I think it can feel healing sometimes . If only we could carry that sun whenever we are sad .. maybe light is always there but we just have to transform the darkness into the light .. somehow or even if just a little bit . Darkness can definitely affect our sense of light

My Dear Rocky,

Another great writing from your well inked pen. All I can say (from experience) is pursue whatever dream you have that will make/keep you happy. Don’t be discouraged. Remember that we’re one out of 7.9 million people who want to be on that stage to be ‘noticed and shine’. There’s so much you can do in the arts. Focus and you’ll find your niche. NEVER GIVE UP!😉

MY SILENT PROTEST (A Rant Against My Homophobic Father)
Christina8 said:

Rocky this brought me to tears. I just can\'t imagine! You being gay has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them. By that I mean it\'s their issue. The bible tells us to love and that\'s just what I do...hell, even my best friend is gay. no one is going to hell over this ok? But your father somehow views you being gay as a failure on his part, well thats his f*cking problem, not yours. So glad you are getting out of there at 18! I tell my kids I love them no matter what they do and what they don\'t do.....they think we\'re amazing parents but the truth is we mess up like everybody. You are loved, Rocky Lagou!! Don\'t you forget it!!
