This is great advice to the majority of the human race. We all think everyone should bend to our way of thinking. You've done a super job limited to just a few words. Good luck with your contest!

That is so very true... combined with a painting 'in a foreign language' by Russian artist Kandinsky to underline your point. Everyone has their own language of differing vocabulary and intention, based on different experiences, so it stands to reason that sometimes just getting a whiff of emotion through obscure words could be enough for a poem to speak to us, just like an abstract artwork can.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I love the insight that implies sensitivity to the diversity that is the reality of the world. Both your choice of words and presentation hit all the right notes to me as the reader. Concise, but very powerful poem. Well done!

    Wow, Cybertron - you just started my weekend off on a wonderful note! :) I'm so glad that 'got me' on this one... it is very disheartening to see some folks 'down-rating' poems because they simply don't like the position the author took/feels. Good heavens - if we all wrote and felt the same way, what a boring world that would be: like going to an art museum and having every picture and/or sculpture be exact duplicates (or maybe same but in different colors/textures) of all the others!! YUCK! :) :) If a poem 'rubs you the wrong way', just skip it! :) ;) Just not that difficult, ya know? :) ;) Anyway -- so glad to know this one 'rubbed you the right way'... LOL! Take care!!
