Another fantastic set, and in only ten syllables. I like how each word is monosyllabic. I like the play on grit. I like the fact that the texture of the words makes me feel it under my tongue and teeth. What’s more, immensely maximic and quotable. Beyond a great job, again.
As always, your encouragement and praise are both luminous and voluminous! Thank you. I almost didn’t submit this one.
Seeing this, I’m glad that you went ahead and put it out there! I always enjoy how punchy and “that’s going to stick with me” these small poems can be!
I’m glad you did! I like the “pithiness.” When I was teaching WRD, I tried to teach my students “the economy of words.” In poetry and prose, every word needs to earn its keep. You’ve nailed it!
Very well said!
So economic, so profound.
nice play between poem and title
