Hold Me Like Clair De Lune
Paul Bell said:

Amazing how music lifts the soul to a great state of calm, and sometimes trance like delirium.

Poetic Dan said:

I\'ll need to come back to this as I do read slow but as I skipped back up to get it a favourite... played your tune and then had to go check! It is the dance song on my daughters bedtime play list....

As you said no words can really replace the feeling of love it can give, different under an environment.

Thank you for your magnificent try ;)
Much peace and respect

Dear Rocky, You possess the ability to meld a beautiful piece of music with your beautiful words. It grabs the heart and brings my hands to my mouth as I listen and read. You\'ve given me the solace of my day. Thank You!

Beautifully done. Music as much as poetry can carry us to heights beyond. Each of us with different tastes. Beauty and art are in the eye of the beholder. I love all types of music.

I discovered Debussy in the 1970\'s and Clair de Lune has been my favourite piece of classical music ever since.

I like your tribute, it is fitting.

There are so many recordings of this piece, Here are a couple of notable ones you may care to give a listening:-

The Butterfly was Poetry!
junia said:

the line \"it was a thing with wings\" made me think of \"hope is the thing with feathers\" by Emily. is that allusion on purpose? I love how something so small and delightful as a butterfly represents poetry for you. and poetry is very much like hope!

Very good words showing that justice can be true if acted upon without any bias.

Justice and Peace. Worldwide we continue to seek for these. Your message resonates loud and clear. More people need to look towards Her.

jark said:

Halls of justice painted green, money talking
Power wolves beset your door, hear them stalking
Soon you\'ll please their appetite they devour
Hammer of justice crushes you, overpower

the lady justice has always represented a figurehead to a failing system to me. Her blind eyes are blind to see injustice and pain and misery.

good read though, nice and quippy

A marvellously written piece here Rocky, I almost ended up reading it like a rap, with a \"phat beat\" behind it.

You\'ve outlined a great description of what actual justice is, rather the way that man misinterprets it, to serve it\'s greedy needs.

Bravo, and I hope that all is well!

orchidee said:

I met her today. Not in person, but in a short online course. The very same picture. I\'m looking at social justice relating to children/young people.
In UK, it seems there are variations for (1) England & Wales. (2) Scotland. (3) Northern Ireland.
Can\'t tell ya much yet - just begun the course!

nice take on Themis the goddess of divine law and order. Let us hope she weight Putin\'s crimes and applies appropriate punishment

I agree with Neville that you have captured the essence of this lady.

If only the purity of her virtue were realised in the practice of law and justice in our system.

As I read your poem my head is reeling and my mind is saying \"Yes, yes, oh my goodness Yes\". When a transformative moment, such as you describe hits you it is cause to rejoice. Beautifully written. Thank you!

orchidee said:

I ain\'t no butterfly. I\'m cooped up here in this cocoon thingy. I will only spread my wings when I sing proper.
\"Ohh, it will be never, then!!\" Aww, they are horrible to me, saying that. But I started it all off, saying I\'m the world\'s worst singer.
They are gonna report me for insulting cats, cos they say \'It\'s much worse than two cats fighting\'. Doh!
Oh, it\'s all nutty! hehehehe.

A fine write Rocky.
Yes, the day I began poetry - a fine day!
The day I began singing - a day of doom for all! (heehee).
Well, they all think it\'s two cats fighting.

Caring dove said:

Hello rocky .. I love this .. I never used to write at all ., but I feel like i canโ€™t help but want to write sometimes , as if itโ€™s just who I am and part of me

This is engaging to read .. sad that the butterfly passed away ., how it inspired one to write .. sometimes we end up changing from that caterpillar into a butterfly .. or atleast into more freedom and I guess we can have that with writing .. a sense of freedom

I like your story ! ๐Ÿ™‚ I once saw a butterfly on the ground struggling and it made me feel sad

Putin I expect will take seriously ill soon and will pop his clogs. They\'ll make him a hero as befitting as that seems, then the decent Russian people will rebuild Ukraine.

Another fine one rocky!!!
\"History never repeats itself, but it rhymes\"; It\'s we who could not identify Where, How, and What unexpected happened and failed to learn from those events. I genuinely feel rather than following someone\'s perspective. One should look carefully into these events; so we refrain from being a part of the blind herd. And yes, never bypassing the fact that the \"whole world is watching\".
Hoping; for all this to end soon.

junia said:

I\'ve read a few poems about the war in the last couple of days and yours is one I really like (if there is something like that). War is beyond words and one struggles to talk about it in any context. But because you use so few words per line and leave room for the reader this actually feels real. I also think it\'s really good that you don\'t use the word \"I\".
