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

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!

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.

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)
Paul Bell said:

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.

Was Tomorrow Always Honeyed?
spilleronsheet said:

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.
