Very dystopian, Uma!  I love the 3-dimensional nature of the image- and the contrast of black and red font - very anarchy related.  

Best of luck in the comp!

was having doubts in posting this, glad you cleared them all dear my wise lighthouse poetess..my friend..your insights bring out more than what was intended ..gratitudes as ev, light & love A:) xoxo

Well written uma.

The image / format / colours remind me very much of an 80s vinyl record sleeve. The words slip & slide over wheels of curiosity & imagination. Never stop burning my love xx

Has a dystopian feel in all the words and imagery. Nice combination. Good luck in the comp.

And everything is happening all at once...the Universal recycling process continues...such a powerful dystopian write Uma.
Peace...Harry

Icy blue tenors, a vincible strife. A rally cry to rise. I love where you close the piece. Flying wide open. A breath of fresh air as you've navigated this miasma. Namaste.

Oh, how your words touch my soul! I love your writing, uma!!

uma, I love the creativity and drive to be filtered from the swamp by using the lesser used words... but there seems to be an absence of the self in the poems, and a confusion as the irregular words seemed to be being used out of grammatical context for the sake of something I'm not quite grasping. in my experience, if you are feeling a concept or idea is needing to be portrayed, it's better to sort it out with some standard foundations, and later add whatever flourishes fit. from learning and surviving on multiple languages myself, I've learned it is most important to be firstly understood before committing to any shine. thank you for the interesting read

thank you for the time & detailed honest critique, dvandva.  
the titular self ...flows as the self-narrative.that's what been the idea...sorry you felt the absence of self in the read. the words in juxtaposition had been one which i constantly naturally flow...& agrees it sometimes/ often impedes with the understanding ...but love it that way, since it gives layers & open-to-interpretations on the readers end. i hope poetry in general, whatsoever mode in conveyance...is one as being very personal, tries to touch readers at different levels layers & even interpretations too  -as per the readers disposition & takeaways & their own reading  engagements that gives rise to newer layers & meanings ...I feel that's the beauty of poetry..that being said, a creator never tries to be open-ended deliberately though.and that's what i do too, flow the flow the personal emotions in all uncompromising way, though the poetic tools handled be varying as per the creator's innate disposition & grasp of  peers/ classics & environs of course always have a say . I totally understand your concern here, will try to infuse in more basic skeletals before the draped flesh & make over if any come into place. that being all said, i am certainly a lover of raw & bare minimal poetry, though metaphors & juxtaposing do marr my way naturally as ever. will take up your words & work on it sure. multiple languages...that is a good point taken. though myself too survive on many languages,  English is foremostly used more than mother tongue ..though others do exert positive influences in their infusion. nothing compromised. comes with value addition perhaps...hope am making sense, interesting/ thougtful/ helpful feedback. thanks again. light & love :)

thanks Didi3d.
antiutopian ...with an anti-dystopian twist.
