Dear Hanh

Your eyes
Rose above the hill
So many had failed to climb
What did you find?
(your answer here, please)
Oh, dragonfly.

dear Triskelion,

a surprise ending is always an eye-opener! I agree with the sentiment behind the poem, and I'm glad to have read it.

Hello Thomas

I'm a fan of bravity, and this is an excellent example of succinctness.. I might not have gotten the full message yet I still appreciate the thought.
I too had to agree with your last words. I'm one of those who come from a very different culture to most of those fellow poets who post here, which makes me consider and reconsider what I post before I do, so that I won't be misunderstood.
Thank you for sharing.

Really interesting

You think it’s not a big commitment because it’s only a few lines until you read it. Then it’s a microcosmic universe
