Michael Edwards said:

Welcome to the world of 575s - a great form if you forget the strict rules and just maintain the syllable count - great 575s by the way.

We\'ll Be the Sunrise! (Haiku/Senryū #2)
junia said:

I really like this, Rocky! Especially \"cry with me once more\". It\'s not about suddenly giving up crying, but about slowly getting better, choosing to be happy. The sunrise is a great metaphor. You think it might take a long time but at one point you look up and the sun has risen and you wonder how it got there so quickly. That\'s how it goes with being happy as well.

The next cup of coffee I drink I\'ll remember your poem and explanation. I love coffee but can drink tea without any problems.

What a beautiful and well written poem! i get the religion and the purity of it you write about, if not careful, it can turn people off. Wonderful and engaging poem!

Like the mad tea drinkers trying to convert me away from coffee.
You can try, but it ain\'t going to happen.

I got teary-eyed while reading this. Sad to admit but I know exactly how you feel. Losing someone is never easy, especially if that person means a lot to you.
Sending love! ❤

Fucked Upness (Haiku/Senryū #1)
orchidee said:

You were just in time. Fido was about to bark, when he did NOT see the 18+. lol
He barked at me, in my poem called ******. Here\'s part of it:
Ohhh, *&^%$(^ *&^%$!!
And furthermore (*&^%£! *(^]{~
Grrrr! *&^%$£ }{_( *&^% $ __
And even (*^%~} )*&^% £\"!!

Don\'t ask me to translate it or Fido\'s ears will be burning!

Fucked Upness (Haiku/Senryū #1)
Goldfinch60 said:

Good thoughts Rocky, I write a lot of haiku, senryu and tanka, I have also created a type I have called Wordiku which only use three words but the words contain five, seven, five syllables, for example:

Intimidating
Conceptualisation.
Obligatory.

So much meaning in just 3 short lines. Great! I also want to give haiku/senryu a go. Inspired by so many poets.

Fucked Upness (Haiku/Senryū #1)
orchidee said:

My (imaginary) \'watch-dog\', Fido, crops up at times. He\'s got a policy. If people don\'t mark poems 18+ where they should be, he barks ferociously at them.
He\'s a reading, talking, carpet-slipper wearing dog, ya know, relaxing by the fire in winter, or in the garden in summer, reading these poems! lol.

On the Passing of my Mother
junia said:

I am so sorry for your loss! Thank you for sharing, the poem is beautiful. It almost feels wrong to pick lines that I liked best but I think details like \"natural hair color\" and \"kiss you on your upper cheek\" are what makes this poem so heartbreakingly captivating.

I enjoyed your first Haiku---yes the world is a bit fucked up but there\'s always light the end of the tunnel if you let it. Love this!

Paul Bell said:

I\'ve always got different views on open caskets. Death at anytime is bad enough, but when it\'s your own, it\'s like your world ending.
Hope sharing has helped you.

Vertigo
HassanKossar said:

This is great poem, it carries the spiritual
And physical feelings of all humanity. Simply put, \"We are equal\" our blood is all red, we have all the same equal number of organs, heads, hands, legs, and, we all have hair on our bodies, so, Fuck the skin colour.
Thanks Rocky. Well done for sharing with us!

This is absolutely heart wrenching and memories from my own mothers funeral came flooding behind tears. My grandmother too stood before her casket. I just want to say you have penned a beautiful memory though sad and I offer my condolences for your loss!

On the Passing of my Mother
Jane Clemons said:

This poem is so sensitive, yet intense. There are two phrases that caught my heart: \"Silence hugs each one of us\", as there is a certain death we experience in our spirit when a loved one loses their physical being. The other term I liked was \"My warrior inspiration \". You really shine in the area of sensitivity ! Love, comfort, joy & peace to you.....

On the Passing of my Mother
spilleronsheet said:

A very heart wrenching poetry
I know she is physically no more
But she is inside you
Your her reflection
Her desires you carry
Her wishes remain
And cherish those memories she kept with you
I am sure, watching from heaven above she would be so proud of you
Each word you wrote, I could see that sad scene
I could feel the pain building inside
And it is very courageous of you, to pen your saddest emotions
Dear Rocky, your mother is alive in your poetries
Keep penning dear friend
Don’t stop
