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

Bella Shepard said:

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.

Because Light Seemed Darker Than Hell
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

Very Exquisite and Imaginative Piece Rocky Lagou. The References to Greek Mythology and Dante Alighieri\'s The Divine Comedy are in Perfect Combination!

Christina8 said:

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!

Dance of Breath and Breeze
junia said:

very cool poem! I especially love the Sylvia Plath quote at the top. It adds a whole new dimension to the piece. She was such an amazing poet!

Like a musical piece it started, built, crescendo and declined to a finish. It was like listening to a wonderful piece of music.

Dance of Breath and Breeze
Paul Bell said:

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.

spilleronsheet said:

Splendid dear Rocky…
A beautiful depiction
An engaging imagery
Wedding my thoughts with geography
As I ventured across the layers of air
I found myself flying in the air
Yet a music kept playing in mind
Thanks to your poetry, I could remember the lines
Demi lovata’s song “ skyscraper”
Truly wonderful and engaging read dear Rocky
And the last lines just hooked me
“ And with every breath we take,

And with every incoming breeze



We embrace the past,

And I welcome – the overture and the decline.”
Telling me to let go of the fallen yesterday and rise with today

You don\'t have to welcome the overture and the decline just yet, Rocky! Your poem was beautiful! The swaying, the light and the skycraper, oh my! You didn\'t leave any details out. Thanks for taking me to the heavens! christina

Trust Not Them (Villanelle)

Must admit, I thought, Villanelle, was the baddy in, KILLING EVE.
Will you be doing another, that is the question?

Trust Not Them (Villanelle)
sorenbarrett said:

I have to admit that I am not sure that the way I took this is the way it was intended. We are all locked in our own world and trust of anyone outside is difficult at best. We feel that others are incapable of understanding and our own lack of understanding creates an abyss that is impossible to cross. Fear of the unknown creates an impediment to understanding. I may have run amuck but this seems to be a very deep poem. I loved it.

Trust Not Them (Villanelle)
Christina8 said:

I\'m really glad you tried your hand at a villanelle. The last one I read was Sylvia Plath, maybe? I LOVE her. Anyway, this was tricky for you, I get that. I understand everything you said in your notes too. All in all, a very good first villanelle!!

Trust Not Them (Villanelle)
Bella Shepard said:

I will admit in my ignorance I did not know what a Villanelle is, so I googled it. What and undertaking, and what a wonderful result. I\'m able to do simple rhymes, but this goes far beyond, and I love the fact that you are teaching me something new and powerful. Thank you Rocky!

orchidee said:

A good villanelle - having looked up what it is! lol.
No use asking me of \'professional\' comments - very un-cultured as I am. Never written one, not heard of them much. I thought ya meant vanilla ice cream. heehee.
