The world sure needs hope, Ukraine especially. Whatever is over the horizon must be grasped, and grasped now.

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

This is absolutely wonderful! You describe your acne..each one like a star. (I wouldn\'t have described it that way at your age!) But it is fitting. And remember, it goes away! Your depression, you highlighted FREEDOM and PRIDE! Good for you! And I love that you made the ending a little handcrafted paradise. I wrote a poem on anxiety yesterday, hardly the piece you have here. Great job Rocky!

Fantastic poem for hope Rocky. And the message comes through loud and clear. Hope never diminishes in strength or purpose. 😉

Because Light Seemed Darker Than Hell
Quijote said:
Impressive penning Rocky this must have taken you an age.
Just an aside I am looking forward to hell as they say hell has no fury like a woman scorned and my fear is that there may be a few scorned women in heaven that passed my way. So hell looks the better of the two options...lol

i like that the last line in each stanza reflects the outcome you mention at the end. the positive. the topics you chose for each stanza are interesting as well and i like that by describing things we can\'t control, you emphasize what we have control over: our attitude.
i also am most creative at night. it is so beautiful when thoughts come to you like fireflies, keeping you awake.

A great message. If you can accept yourself with all your strong points and defects, changing them as you can you are better off than most . Wonderful

A wonderful read! I love the last line, words to live by. There is something magical in that middle of the night, or early morning inspiration.

Trust Not Them (Villanelle)
bellflower said:
Good villanelle composition with reflection on self, this is a worthy thing to be pondered about. We all fall in trap of this social approval and social acceptance trap....but we need to listen to ourselves and care ourselves first then comes the society. Well composed.

Neville said:
I would indeed be lying if I said this was not magic .. but like Christina8 has already indicated, time is against me .. so at the moment I am not in a position to delve too far beneath the surface ink you have so splendidly laid before us .. I do however, envisage returning here from time to time to further my understanding and appreciation .... I also note your proposed leave of absence Rocky, so I hope your time away from here is a happy one and filled with inspiration my friend ......... Neville

This is simply a masterpiece, but to analyze it would take more time than I have, sadly. From what I\'ve read you are a genius with a killer vocabulary! Awesome poem so far but I\'m not finished. I put it in my favorites to enjoy later! Great job Rocky!

Life, and the rollercoaster to the inevitable end. The good thing is, life is positive, the end is negative.
This tells us what we must do in the in-between.
