Yes you are right. Often we get it wrong sometimes we get it right. But being a parent was harder than any exam I ever sat.

i read it and enjoyed for what it is - then I read your description of it and it took on a new meaning - either way a gem of a write.

Wonder in her senyru
I witnessed childhood of many
In her senyru
I found advice
That spoke of kid and parents teaching in life
So well crafted dear Rocky

I heard a discussion recently on our Public Radio about gentle parenting. I wonder where that would fit in. Maybe a cake server instead of spatula. Short but sweet!

Parents, who would have them.
I suppose, though, you do get to pick their care homes. You can see why kids divorce their parents now.

This is absolutely wonderful--so deep for a Haiku/Senryu. I actually thought the spatula was meant to hurt but as you say, it\'s the parent. Sometimes we\'re succulent--well reared and others \"scared stoic\". Great piece of work Rocky, keep it up!

How wonderfully you played with words dear Rocky….always amazed my the ease with which you string the words….some advices, some satires, a bit of smirk yet posing intriguing questions….really enjoyed it….
And simply adored every line
Yet this caught me many a times
“ Light.
A promise to show you the door –
A door that ought to be opened of course.
A light that slowly flickers, however, – a Lie.”

Thank you for sharing this very meaningful beautiful poem. Mothers love unconditionally. We hope that whatever we shared and taught and bonded and loved with our sons and daughters will help to light their paths and ease their burden at some point in their lives.

Rocky, this is beyond words. So intimate and one of self discovery. \"My whole life I expected others to be the anchor,\" And comforting images of your mother with the sea of yellow. I just don\'t have the words, honestly, to review this art piece.----Christina

Loose thyself in your mother’s arm
There she holds me to protect
But one day i must step out
Step out from the veil of her shadow
Cause the sky awaits my flight
I could feel the strong bond between mother and child
The evolution of a child into adulthood
And the independence and responsibility one needs to shoulder upon
A beautiful imagery portraying the most loveable relationship
Very well inked dear Rocky

Dear Rocky, I\'m sighing as I read, for the beauty of your words. I think I\'m glimpsing the child, dependent on the all comforting, all loving mother, \"the sea of yellow unfolding all the mysteries of the world\" and yet the child, at some point must become the all encompassing self. The mother always being a piece of that self. A true gem of a poem.

Your title was perfect and made me click then so many smiles ready a flow so slick. Appalling or a calling still sits so well and rest I\'d gladly drift under your spell.

Isn\'t it stupid.....I fell for an entire forest just because I love the leaf?
You very well joint the dent(disappointment) of the precious idea(love) with an echo of notes(roll). The grim reality we tend to omit often. Intriguing as always.:)

Poetry is something many do for various reasons. I do it to express thing I cant express on paper or in words. Poetry is something I do to escape. Rocky you have so much to give, so much inspiration, so much pain, so much love. We dont always write for others, some of we write for oursleves.

\'Swirling ripples with the notion of tranquility, make a wish to the light left on\' These lines just struck my mind while reading your piece. I admire you for the resilience and the perception that you possess. The bond and the chord play a very passionate role in everyone\'s life. This one has my heart from now on, and yes, she is undeniably proud to see how much you have grown to be.😊

A lovely write dear Rocky, the nature of love. There is always
vulnerability when you allow someone into your life. I think love is probably the most powerful, complicated and, difficult emotion we can experience. But after 52 years, I wouldn\'t have it any other way. Turns out, it\'s what you make it.

I enjoyed the alliteration you used throughout the poem with the roll of the \"L\' continually :)
It made me think of how we keep rolling through life looking for love and sensing the disappointment.
Good job.

Love, itself, is a fallacy, otherwise I\'d be off with a princess. Life on the other hand, unless destined, can be achieved, through hard work, maybe a little luck on the way. Mind you, health always tops the lot in the living game.,

Love it ! Super important questions for which one has to find any meaningful answers for themselves.
All a bit of a careless mysyery to the young but the middle aged begin to \"see through a glass darkly\" and from there on in.. good luck lol.
By the time old age creeps across your bones all this will be sussed by you. How do I know... because you\'re one of those who perceives the questions... so many don\'t give them a thought.

Well first off, I love the name, Hello, I adore lilacs, prefaced by my picture. I initially thought the \"Lick\" was from maybe a bee on the lilac but I think I\'m wrong. You have officially blown my mind on how good your poetry is though. \"Love, what is it for\"....you\'ll find out someday.\" Life--a living lens cracked.\" I know when I was young (er) (ha ha) in my family home I felt this way because all we did was fight and cry. But the light you spoke of will shine!! And it won\'t be a lie. Hang in there! (I\'m sorry I haven\'t done this justice but my heart was in it!)
