Holy moley this is a great one! So deep, as usual ;). i liked it all but \"I\'ll fossilize my fears\" rang especially true for me, having panic disorder and all. You wrote beautifully, I very much enjoyed reading every bit!

Turn off the oven, Sylvia Plath

Have adored Sylvia since my school days
Her poetry changed my views in many ways
We all are at edge somewhere and somehow
Some a bit more
Some a bit less
This poetry of yours means a lot
To her, to her fans and to people who can understand
Initially I celebrated her as a poet with depth
But as growing up I realised her hurts, her pains, her suffocation
It’s hard to survive with so many worries inside
To bear a smile when the heart is being constantly hurt inside
It’s difficult to survive
One whose a victim can’t be blamed
It’s sad for those victims as well as their loved ones troubled by the satan called depression
But I truly hope poetry can help us speak up, reduce our pains. Heal our wounds slowly but effectively
Thanks a lot for sharing this piece dear Rocky

The Bell Jar was such a sad story and reading this brought me back to it. So tragic. She was an amazing talent--you honored her Rocky :)

You wrote this in such a fantastic way. I know she committed suicide but her words live on. Many poets suffer from depression, I read somewhere. Artists in general I think. I wish she would have stayed a while longer......

I have not read this story before. Your poem and comments have further shown the huge problem of mental health issues in the population, young and old. In some countries suicide is the highest cause of death among a certain age group. Very tragic.

The way you have written here really drew me into the person... well some of the person. It\'s in the small details which humanise any story or poetry and here youve done that. It felt personal.
Suicide is outside the normal. Clearly most of us strive to hang onto life, it\'s precious to us. Suicide leaves behind terrible consequence for all, it alters peoples lives. It hangs over people like a dark cloud, so very different to losing someone in the \'normal\' way.
A very touching, moving piece.

It sounds horribly harsh to say it - but isn\'t suicide very selfish, if we have spouse, relatives, children - or simply \'loved one\'s left behind?
Yet who knows what goes on in some people\'s minds.
I read a bit about loneliness - a bit harsh, saying WE should make the effort, get our coat, and get out more, as they say! Doh!

It’s as if my muse which awakens
It’s as if when my spirits take a flight
Where I feel I can conquer all my fears in mind
Very powerful and encouraging words dear Rocky
It surely gives me the strength, the inspiration and motivation

Eye opening. It is not only at birth or childhood that we can awaken to this world but at every instant as we see things from a different light a different angle. Anthropomorphism a wonderful tool as is the metaphor. Almost a parable or fable. Well done.

The Californian fires, like the Australian fires, usually started deliberately by fools who don\'t understand the speed of fire.
We\'re living in strange times, and it seems like the loonies are running the asylums now.

Yes, sometimes we never stop to actually see what is around us.
Maybe that\'s the human condition, constantly on the rubber band stretching for something or praying for the immpossible.

A brilliantly penned piece Rocky. If only the evil ones could understand that if the world goes up in flames, so do they. 🤔

Bella Shepard said:
You have most accurately penned this letter to YOU. I wonder sometimes if entropy will become the natural state of our existence, when we\'ve used up all the energy of life. Our future is already there , we make it every minute of every day, we just lack the vision to see it. Ignorance can be cured through education, if the ignorant are willing to learn. But as the saying goes, there\'s no cure for stupid, especially when it is worn as a badge of honor. A great intuitive, thought provoking piece, Kudos to you!

This is a fine and splendid work
Summing up the disasters that are wrecking our life
Which still continue to plague our life
You didn’t miss even a single one
I hope this ends soon

Rocky this piece of work goes way beyond. So many elements incorporated in one Haiku is unusual. Alliteration, philosophical, metaphor, maintaining a single theme, meter, Wow!!! Impressive.

A Golden Ocean Anchorage
theneophiles_words said:
This poem is a remarkable spectacle of that close-knitted tender bond.
The line \'You have to learn to anchor yourself first\' is engaging. We forget such a simple thing and get carried away with every other thing, and when you said, \'and decided to make it into a canvas\'; it showed no matter what life tosses us into, it\'s our steadiness and decisiveness that will help us sail throw it. Astonishing!😊✨
