i am experimenting with newer concepts- the shorter it gets, the more challenging it is to convey.. thank you for your kind words- do drop by freely and i appreciate comments- thanks again!
no worries. it’s interesting to see how your poetry is developing 😉
That is interesting! I am now set on trying that…it is true that with shorter poems, it takes great skill to convey deep meaning and insight ordinarily found in longer poetry. Like haiku!
Great poem,

Oh, very interesting this.. and life moves on with some times head up and and at others tail.. with total acceptance of each other as none tries to separate from the joint.. trust me..the coin will keep on shining..with happiness..
I like it! Concrete or shape poems are one of my favorite forms to write. Thanks for sharing this with me and for all your comments on mine. Let me know if you do anymore concrete poetry!
You’ve done it – you’ve fit a circular object (coin) into a rectangular shape and you’ve done it with panache… plus there’s a great message succinctly put in few words. A perfect package – love it!
I love poems like these. This reminds me of Nikki Giovanni. I don’t quite think like this making it all the more remarkable when I read it. Excellent. Thank you, Gay
Just amazing!One of my frustrations.To write in a style like this.Always so much in just a few words.Gotta learn this style.It’s truly an amazing way of conveying thoughts.
Thanks for always dropping by on my side,too.I truly appreciate it!
Oh wow.. this is really good!! Opposites attract, alright.. but when they cannot meet, that’s when it get real sad…
So simply stated, fiveloaf.. very nice!
this is brilliant! on one way both belonging to the same coin,on the other facing opposite dimensions, and the only connection would be that fine border…beautifully done!
beautifully unique. i’d never have come up with anything like that.
i think i like these new short poems of yours 🙂
