Giving Up Poetry
Christina8 said:

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! :)

Giving Up Poetry
Caring dove said:

We all write for different reasons .. I’ve been feeling anxious and overwhelmed today .. for several reasons , just tired emotionally right now . I guess we want our writings to be liked but sometimes we simply write for ourselves ? I like your line about loving ourselves and others . We can’t always write to want to impress sonetimes we simply write for ourselves , and that’s ok

LOL I gave up poetry ages ago when some one wrote to me \"if youve got something to say, say it in four lines, if you can\'t manage that, say it in three\"

Peripheral Happiness (Sonnet)
Doggerel Dave said:

Hi Rocky; You have a good poem here, full of rich imagery and a deep underlying theme....But Shakespearean sonnet it ain\'t.

Stick to what you do best, write your poetry which is interesting and lively.

Life limits the light of hope. Everything is a cycle. Instead of waiting for hope live the now. Time will bring everything back around,

Peripheral Happiness (Sonnet)
Paul Bell said:

I like this.
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.

And furthermore - some of us were taking our coats off in the UK last week, in a mini-heatwave. Was still chilly first thing in mornings though. Now we\'ve got them out of the cupboard again!
Here ends UK weather report. lol.

Good write Rocky.
How is the cringe-worthy one?! heehee.
Parts of the UK almost forgot what snow is this winter. Then I goes and get caught in a snow flurry, and then a hailstorm today! Ouch, like little stones thrown at ya!

Dear Rocky,

A thought provoking one for sure.
Loved these line..
They spirally fall, slowly giving...
Themselves to the Earth’s art,

Very artistic and very true !!
Thanks for the wonderful 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!!

orchidee said:

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!

Quijote said:

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

We are all of the sea till she takes us back. What we do in-between is for us to decide and destiny at the end.

And I am not a knot to be undone.\"
Very powerful!

Poet in the Beast
sorenbarrett said:

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

Kinsey Peterson said:

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!
