This seems to me a poetic criticism of technology gone array. Well done in single word flow.

This seems a fractal poem where the repetition of words is a reoccurring mathematical equation. Very nicely done.

A beautiful line of words that flow as a stream downward culminating in limitations. Lovely

Tiny Blue Bubble

Mico worlds in a dew drop. We see things from our perspective but are there bigger and smaller worlds that we can not see being only atoms in their world or galaxies with them only cells and atoms. Thought provoking

Aren\'t we all alchemists of a sort. Looking for the philosopher stone to change lead into gold in the market, relations, or metaphorical. A lovely write

An interesting read of an analysis of four poems each with their own strengths. The analysis seemed AI indeed and gives a breakdown on each poem. Well done

Quite ironic the last three lines, giving how long the analysis was, or maybe it\'s Ai humour. Never seen something like that published before, so was interesting to read

This has the feel of a creation myth told in the language of mathematics and physics; a meditation on origins, inevitability, and transformation. And by ending on “different math / different results,” it leaves the reader suspended between determinism and infinite possibility, as if reminding us that every outcome is just one variation among countless potential recipes. It reads at once intimate and cosmic, like a slice of the universe served in minimalist lines.

Wonder if it tastes like numbers or electrical current, whether it has the smell of an empty and soulless crust. I\'ll pass thank you very much. Fun read

Will
arqios said:
This hits like a chiseled mantra; stark, compact, and reverberating with philosophical weight. It\'s not just about will as determination, but Will as a primal force—the unseen gravity behind empires, ideologies, even the arc of civilisation itself. The rhythm, built from clipped, almost talismanic phrases, mirrors the relentless pressure and singularity of focus that the poem describes. The invocation of Alexander the Great serves as more than historical reference; he becomes a mythic embodiment of will\'s capacity to bend reality. There’s something almost mystical in “cosmically gleaned” and “soul sponsored,” as if true will is both internal and divinely sourced, a flame kindled by something greater. The repetition and fragmentation make the poem feel like it\'s being channeled, not written; a transmission more than a meditation. It suggests that to shift the course of humanity, one doesn\'t just have will— they are will. It reads like a spell. Or perhaps even a warning.

Nicely crafted write, with the figure of eight, stone cold and hard as the truth can be, and that not evertthing is accessible in life even if we can see it, enjoyed the read

Ice hard and cold as is the truth that lies beneath. Impenetrable, ice is semitransparent and part of what lies beneath can be seen but only partially and is inaccessible, as cryptic note the figure eight is a symbol of infinity never ending and unknowable. All we know are just scratches on the surface. Well written John.

\"Figure eight\" a beautiful deliberate symbol of infinity looping atop a void. Its spinning, evoking ritual and futility, having us suspended knowing and unknowable, cutting arcs on ice that never cracks, on meaning that never yields. It also exposes the tension between our yearning to understand and the cold reality that some truths remain bottomless, resistant to expression, comprehension or even closure.🕊️🙏🏻
