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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

ProfessionalPaperDigester said:

I haven\'t dealt with loss myself (not yet anyway) but i can relate some of these feelings to myself, and what I\'ve seen others experience. I cant quite relate, but I can understand and that is what makes a poem \"good,\" if it\'s effective and how effective it is. I believe this to be quite effective.

A truly moving and beautifully penned tribute here Rocky!

Brilliantly written, the format and the imagery used, were very interesting things to follow.

The way you have painted these words on the page, truly creates a warming piece, that I\'m sure your Mum would be proud of.

Bravo, and I hope that all is well!
