I love the simplicity of the statements and the clarity the poem brings. I think I need a news poet to help me process the days news and bring some calm. Thanks!
P.S. May I share your comment on Substack Notes? (It means lots of people, potentially, will see your note and name....and link to the original poem/post.)
Absolutely. I was hoping you might give the “news poet” idea some consideration. I posted a link to your post on my Facebook feed, though I have to check to make sure it is publicly seen. I almost never post but the insanity of the times demands something other than personal disgust.
Andi, a good poem stirs, evokes, or pacifies. This poem does all 3 for me. Bravokaren g.
Thank you. I hadn't heard that trio--stir, evoke, pacify (as in, bring peace/calm)--thank you for that lens.
Dear Andi,
Your arrangement and symbolism is powerful.
appreciatively,
Kristina
Thank you, Kristina. I appreciate your words, especially when waves of powerlessness wash over me. Onward.
So timely, poignant, and needed. Thank you for doing this Andi. It's beautiful.
Thank you, Jessica. And to you, and all, please share it. 🇺🇦
Already shared the link. 💜🙏🏼

Thank you, Jim. You just gave me a great idea!!!! Stay tuned!
Thank you, Andi.
Nice to hear from you. Be well.
The perfect foil to our leadership's current lack of respect for the truth.
Such a powerful statement and so very true...
