Peripheral Happiness (Sonnet)
Bella Shepard said:
I\'ve never read a Shakespeare sonnet, but now I know I must. As I read each stanza aloud, with the inflection that it deserves, I feel the pure beauty of what you are describing. I think Shakespeare would be proud of such a worthy apprentice. Well done dear friend!

This is another great poem! My favorite line is \"Is the jewels and pearls and skin!\" You are a jewel in your own right and you make powerful statements here. Great job!!

Erm, I was just writing a poem about our \'little life\' (not posted yet). Not that we are door-mats to be trampled over by everyone; nor lamp-posts to be treated as \'things\' that just stand there unfeeling, immovable, etc.
Ohh, I dunno about being the living display of glory. To me, it would seem like I need a large slice of humble pie, if I say that!

liked the lines
I’m a shipwreck lying at the seabed,
And every mossy barrel carries a part of who I am.
I think we all sometimes feel we are at the bottom of the sea looking up to the top of the ocean where everyone else is

This is good! I especially liked \"I am the living display of glory,
And I am not a knot to be undone.\"

A very open write, revealing and raw. I noticed that the I\'s have attempted to be the therapist but to no avail while the psychiatrist has been equally unsuccessful. There\'s a feeling of isolation and sterility. The abandoned cradle contributes to this alienation. It ends positively in that you are sure to find your way back home and piece things back together, Well done

I think I just fell in love with your words. You have undeniable skill and talent and you convey your emotions with such adept language- I don\'t even know where to begin. As someone who struggles with mental health, is openly lgbtqia+, and is also 16 years old- this is really hitting home for me. It\'s reminding me of when I used to break my mirrors because I couldn\'t stand the reflection. Brilliant work, Rocky.

I love this piece, Rocky! Yes, I see you in the cracked reflection. Your psychiatrist doesn\'t sound very helpful, idk just me maybe. I want you to know you are not alone with mental health issues. I struggle too, though as I\'ve gotten older, I struggle less. Hopefully time heals all wounds. Good luck on your journey!

A Swan, Named Freedom, Swims
bellflower said:
With swan as the metaphor you painted life of a human who visits and meets many people but he never forgets its own purpose. He listens to all but attends to none. He learns from all so that he could complete his purpose at last. Wonderful and enjoyable poem.

Well, I took half a day to read it but I got it done. What a read!! Such descriptive metaphors and what a better animal to write about than the swan? I suppose the swan named freedom could represent the people of Ukraine and their current struggle represented by the bloody river. I don\'t know for sure, hope I didn\'t misrepresent! Keep writing these wonderful writes!!!

An intriguing vision with vivid images and great metaphors. Swans are one of the few monogamous animals and though freedom and fidelity appear opposites fidelity to the concept of freedom seems consistent. The last lines I take as freedom is at the cost of sacrifice and often blood. Very well done
