Concrete

You go girl. Doing it backwards. Love it. Fia xoxo

Backwards was honestly much harder. Thanks heaps for your comment - xoxo

Wow that is incredible you did that backwards
My brain hurts just thinking about trying, lol.
A B, C's of sad truth's. The image is a horror of a truth.

Good luck!

Doing it backwards was a tough cookie to be honest. The image is indeed a horror of truth, so I found it to be quite fitting. Thanks heaps for your comment, dear poetess, I appreciate it.

These types of poems are impossible for me to come up with. lol It must take so long.

I heard this morning on the KIm Iverson show there talking about an automated draft, possibly gearing up for WW3. (no sign-up). 18 - 26.
Corruption is rampant in Government. Does anyone trust them anymore? I don't. Everything is falling apart in this country.  

I like that you kept your poem's subject consistent. Great work.

It was far from easy and a pain in the ass at times, but with a lot of rewriting lines and words to deliver the message I wanted to and be consistent with the topic (thank you for seeing that) I managed to write it within a reasonable amount of time. Thanks heaps for your comment :-)

Bravo! And so true.

Thanks heaps, Ahavati, I appreciate it.

A solid entry and a solid truth.  Good luck in the competiton.

Your BIG means a lot, thanks heaps :-)

This was a strong relatable write for me due to habitating in a concrete jungle where the entire etiquette is a facade, it's only getting worse and I feel like the picture you used really screams out to us but nobody wants to acknowledge it, we simply have to come back to ourselves instead of constantly looking outward externally for validation which I feel makes many of us hostile in our living approaches regardless what it may be about, whether it's about ourselves, our successes, materials, personalities, our lifestyles, what we hear or do not hear in the news etc

Absolutely loved this, it had so many layers to consider and question I couldn't possibly write anymore I would be here all day 😂

Thank you for sharing  😊

So happy to hear you relate to this piece, as many with the eyes to see do. It is indeed getting worse and if we don't act it's a matter of time before we have destroyed our planet. I stopped believing what the news tells us years ago. It took a lot of rewriting lines to get my message across and stay on topic (with the limitations of the alphabet) but I'm happy with the outcome.

I can't thank you enough for your extensive comment & thoughts. I appreciate you, Ethan 🙏🏻
