Defiance

I too feel it’s a cryptic, but leaves enough clues to get the message.

very good your construct far surpasses my writing skills, as I most chastised for, format of which I have no learning. example Octoberween, but I wanted it written like a text for effect of the spirit. thank you for your input I am useless without it and hope maybe you can teach me "suin"

Oh the sigh...

I felt this as a piece of descriptive which is telling of the hidden thoughts held by many poets. Well done. And as a former visual artist, nice diamond shape as well!

Thank you for leaving a comment on my poem!

I've read through the poem, and I really like it. Though I've never attempted to write a poem with this structure before, it looks like a hard format to try and fit a poem into, but I think it runs really well.

Love it!

I hadn’t heard of the Diamond structure before. I like your execution! To me, it seems like those who pry do so only to judge and ignore the true motive and emotions of your work which often happens to poets :(. Whatever it means, it’s a very good poem. I’ll try this style, it looks like a good challenge!

Oh my god. You surpass my expectation. When you sent me a message about this poem, I was like, "Oohhh, what would it be this time?"

I applaud this poem. It holds an important message in there. From what I can "dissect" from this, is a poet's or writer's defiance towards people who only want to judge a piece of work just from its surface. And these people are quick to judge and disregard the true meaning and soul of the message. Hence, any poet or writer would feel disappointed that the actual message, poured out passionately and honestly, be dismissed.

Interestingly, the diamond structure goes in line with the poem's meaning. From the surface, a diamond is shiny and beautiful. But go deeper; you can see that it has atoms bonded together to create a structure. Much like a poem, it is just worded in a structure from the surface. Dive deeper, and you will see words intricately, deliberately pieced together to form a compelling, deep piece.

This is what I got. I might be wrong haha. But I did enjoy reading it over and over despite being a short poem. Indeed a diamond in a rough, this one.

I enjoy how concise this poem is, and the early drops of alliteration really enhance the feel of the rhyme scheme in the latter half. Exceptionally well written, absolutely 0 excess.

Thank you for this Some people need to leave us alone, and not demand that we explain ourselves to them. I for one hate having to prove myself to any other person. Great diamond!
