May You Await Me on the Moon?
Paul Bell said:
The beginning of life, and life itself.
Yet, the most important part, the sperm and egg. That bond that brings two ancestors into the now and the future.

Bella Shepard said:
I think that I would love to stand in the open, on a beautiful, full moonlit night, and read this poem aloud. It is tender, and loving, just as I\'m sure your relationship with your mother was. When we speak to the moon, she listens. Beautifully written!

A wonderful write. Isis is one of my favorite Goddess symbols as she takes on the moon. It is responsible for the tides and its cycle is related to the female menstrual cycle. Birth and renewal a wonderful poem of union. Well written.

Rocky, as a mother, I gotta say I love this!! You were conceived out of the \"clean nothingness\". I love how you describe her womb (reminds me of a poem i wrote with the loss of twins), the umbilical cord connecting you two. I mean I could sit here and quote from your poem all day! There\'s nothing quite like a bond between mother and child. Oh your mother is in the stars, that gave me the chills. I know that she passed. WOW!! This one goes into the faves at the top if I can manage. wow, your eventual homecoming, hopefully not too soon, Rocky! Loved it, loved it, love it!!!!!!!!!!

I\'m a bit lost i must admit. The first half gave me thoughts of being conceived and born.
It\'s certainly original writing and i have read it several times... was your mum an astronaut... erm
I\'ve enjoyed trying to fathom this out anyway my friend.

A Swan, Named Freedom, Swims
theneophiles_words said:
A metaphoric wonder of Richful thought; Vivid images entwined through the thread of hope. Definitely, something that speaks about your style. These lines \'But actually a bloody red. Its wings were covered with the scarlet color. But the Swan stayed fixed on its main purpose\' explains so much more than it states. Well, let\'s say that you had me with you and the Swan to the Horizon.

(from above where there is no link to place this in its appropriate position):
\"a certain someone who sent me a comment on a non-free-verse poem that went on to pretty much say, \"stay in my lane\" (free-verse.) So I kinda laughed inside of myself when I read that and said, \"wow is my non-free-verse poetry really that bad?\"
So from that \'\"certain someone,\" may I just clarify?
Not that your non free verse is bad - My argument was that if you are going to claim a classic form then you should make the effort to honour that form.
It\'s more about communication. We communicate with words , and if we are to succeed we must agree on the basic meaning of these tools we use. Thus a Shakespearean sonnet should be? You know what it should be. Do it or explain why not.
No third person comments in future - put that argument where it belongs next time.

Dance of Breath and Breeze
theneophiles_words said:
I loved the thought of giving Death a voice. Looks austere yet so full of attributes. I admire how well you play with the words, Rocky \'crescendos rise so will I\'; \'to the long cadenza\'; \'This skyscraper is on liftoff\'; \'beyond the moon, cityscape, stars\'; \'Hair, clothes, paintings, furniture\' and so much more; At a certain point, I felt I would be rewriting the whole in comments ( jokes apart). It is beautiful as always, and Thank you for making Death pleasant to the eye.

Truthfully it is so powerful and brut truth
Life isn’t set of rules
Nothing works according to norms
And the pent up emotions shall swell one day
And come outside beautifully by your pen dear Rocky
I honestly liked your courageous sword
It slashed right inside
Totally rocked in feels
And finished the wars of emotions raising inside
Pen up as you wish
Cause you truly shine
With that beautiful mind

We all write in our own way to put our feelings onto paper and what ever they say means so much to ourselves and if others like them that is a bonus.
Good words Rocky.

Mental health is still something that so many struggle with but it’s still too stigmatized to talk about. This poem holds much meaning to me. Thank you for sharing this Rocky.

I think your poem speaks to the kernel of poetry, which for me is the expression of self. We may all do that in different ways; wordy, brief, rhyming, free flow of thoughts, and so on, but it\'s the expression, the gift of self to others that is truly wonderful. And in return we love each other for the offering of that gift. I applaud the gift you have given all of us in this poem. Write on dear friend!

OOhhh, I dunno - why use 5 words when 20 or 30 will do?! heehee.
But sometimes limiting words can help us to focus more, I find (as in some of my shorter poems).
Ohh, I\'m enjoying sunny spells and short snow showers here in UK. April showers - yes, snowy ones just for now. Doh! And that\'s no April Fool joke.
I was delivering some Easter cards for a church. I could have said \'Merry Christmas\' to the folk! Well It looked like it, by the weather!

I\'m so glad it\'s a metaphorical title and not for real even though it is April Fools Day. Cuz you have so much to offer, so much to say! As you say, we were born to spread our wings! And maybe this is what you were meant to do. I like the quotes too. But, I truly think you have a gift and a calling, mister! :)

Death is a painful subject and needs to be gently trodden. The writer is in a reflective mood, but also wants to move on. Alas, moving on can never really happen, not when seasons return each year.
