Almost ethereal in its: Almost ethereal in its beauty, heart-shattering in its reality and monumental as a elegy for our one and only home. I'm hoping that you're looking far into the future, but at the rate we're hastening the Earth's decline, who knows?
Each line is shaped, superbly, by your concern for humanity and the living planet that spawned "our histories . . . / written in skin, etched/ in ashes."
A compact epic.
Thank you kindly for your: Thank you kindly for your thrilling and exquisite feedback. The thought of compiling a book right now, with everything that's going on in my life, seems overwhelming, but your encouragement has made me a little more open to the idea. Thank you!
Poignant Images: read 3x. A ballad. "spilled sugar" the entire poem pivots around that one fact. The other lines radiate from it. Each reading gave more insight, added layers just as it should. Beautiful lines created in a dichotomous explosion of praise and condemnation. An tempered series of observation. You write irony well.

Found Poetry: I figure, if you are not going to do anything else with that notion, I'll write it down in poetry. Never at loss for topics. Turn on tv or radio and start writing :D

Horn Toot #37 For 2022: .
Raising spirits, a calling. Do not forget to feed the ego - needs nurturing too. Pat J J reminds me of the need. Another gargantuan! ~(:D)-
Love the concept, as sad as it is that we need it: Children should be taught this way, instead of "protected" from the truth. Protection, as we see it, actually makes them completely vulnerable to the war machine, if not as victims, then as cheerleaders of the victimization of others. I find your concept brilliant.
One possible change, if I can suggest. Presented to young children, the word "destruction" would probably be a too big. For just a moment, it feels to me like it takes your piece away from it's design. Perhaps, another word or phrase that's a synonym for destruction would be more suitable.
You were very successful in: You were very successful in your strategy to magnify the emotions in the personal experience. You put the sublime significance of what was lost in breathtaking perspective.
"healthy smallness". Yes! I like that.
