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.

When struggles seems so hard
And self doubts ebbs inside
The words of your poetry shall ring in mind
That will resurrect the pillars of hope
For a beautiful future tomorrow
Wonderfully inked dear Rocky

POETS ON POETS (Ode to the MPS Family)
spilleronsheet said:

I was late to notice
This priceless peace
Why so precious ?
Cause someone cherished the words the others sew
The sparkle isn’t a gem
Until praises by a special one
Thanks a ton dear Rocky for remembering me
It means a lot
This is a wonderful ode
As well as a positivity booster for me
Where all the best collections are mentioned
How I wish I could add to this list
A beautiful poet I know
Wonder who ?
That’s you my dear friend
In your words of sweet empathy
Your emotions that connect
The voice that calls for justice
I hope you can add your words too
Cause it’s an ode to all poets here
And I truly agree with Teddy
This is a beautiful family
Who supports each other
And you stringed together all members here
Thanks a million dear Rocky for such a beautiful compilation and it made me fluttery inside
To see my name up there
I am glad I could ink the lines that you could adore it
And I really loved the way, you even mentioned the work of the poets whose lines it corresponds
Hats off to your efforts dear Rocky
And I am sorry for being late to reply
Caught up in loads of backlogs

Hold Me Like Clair De Lune
theneophiles_words said:

This piece is one of my favorites after a long day at work or when my brain buzzes off or after being through the thick coursebooks, or at lonely dusk. I sometimes listen to this one on repeat just for the soothing effect on the soul. I could feel and visualize each word of the poem with the music playing in the backdrop.
Awe-inspiring as always, Rocky. ✨💞

A phenomenal mosaic; that has my heart from now on. You are such a sweetheart, and I loved this one; I do others as well. Each of your art is unique in its way, filled with Inspiration, Emotions, Thoughts, Expressions, and Feelings that are hard to describe, yet you communicate it subtly. What amazed me; even more; is SOMETIMES was worth enough of a mention. I never expected it to be a part of this. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so much.......Rocky.

Hi Rocky! This is REALLY AWSOME!!! I\'m so touched,as I\'m sure we all are. I used to reject the Internet at one time. I didn\'t believe a genuine relationship of any kind with someone on another continent was possible. I don\'t know why,but I just thought it would be so fake and impersonal. The beautiful people here on MPS have joyfully proven me wrong. And you\'ve just empowered the proof. Cheers🍻🌞🕊

Thank you Rocky for being such an encouraging friend to new and old poets. Your poem gives out a warm happy feeling as I read it. I put up “If MPS poets met….” on the 21st Jan but hadn’t “met” you then. Would definitely want to have you at our picnic! Have a lovely day.

A wonderful piece full of philosophy. It conveys a sense of desperation which is the lowest form of hope. Yet like a sigle glowing ember it promises hope of a new fire. Lovely

Was Tomorrow Always Honeyed?
junia said:

a very interesting piece, thank you. I especially like \"flicking through pages of poetry to get back to my roots\". Poetry is so universal and relatable that I sometimes feel that reading someone else\'s work brings one closer to oneself. And at the same time, flicking through pages of your own poetry is almost the definition of reflecting. I love this ambiguity.
