Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. It's very creative and you said a lot in a very few syllables/ words. I enjoyed reading and good luck with the contest.

Oh, yes... the Kraken cometh -- I think your words here are a great statement of the near future! :-) A fun essence for the contest here, Sir Bill -- feels good to be typing in this little blue box again... Guess I'll get around to another post when I've time! Take care and good luck in the contest! :)

Thank you, Yvette. Great to have you back!
Comment from BethShelby
Very clever. It is pretty hard to say anything in two line and with only four words even hard to then make it rhyme. If the Economy is failing and a monster looks in the future you've said a lot. I want nothing to do with bitcoins. Even the word is repulsive. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Mark Jackson
I have just recently read The Kraken by Tennyson, I always tell people that we went to school together so I do try to read his poetry. Although my friend asks why since he never read any of mine. I get an image of the Kraken rising, and the Economy sinking and disaster meeting in the middle. A big picture drawn with four words.

This is a great essence poem, my friend. I think you caotuted the essence very well in a most difficult form. Sending you my best today as always and my very best wishes in the two line poetry contest.

Possibly with added Poseidon?
Bonus points for perfect rhyme and economy of wording (okay, I know it's meant to be like that, but this one is clever as well as technically crafted.)

I like your essence poem and commentary about the whole cryptocurrency thing which I hope just goes away. Great job with the pun with "kraken" and the rhymes are spot on. Best wishes in the contest!

Thank you, Helen. Crypto currency is the same as junk bonds, based on nothing and worth nothing outside of the game.

You SCHOTT these two lines like it was so easy! Not only is it a good candidate for the top post in this difficult challenge, it also is, unfortunately, prophetic.

I was afraid you were going to start spouting off about releasing the kraken and I was going to have to jump out a window but I was pleasantly surprised by your clever two line poem. I wish you good luck in the contest.
