Your Ninette, David is truly profound and meticulously constructed. It highlights the omnipresence of life on Earth, as well as the alarming realization that humanity has seemingly depleted all available resources, reaching a critical threshold from which there is no turning back.

Thank you Lasaad for giving extra insight into my Ninette, yes that critical threshold dawns a little earlier each morning, cheers David

Pity, we who depend on her for life take her for granted to the point of desecration. For form and content this Ninette rates a 10 if my scorecard counts in the tally, which it certainly does not. ;-)

Ha love that comment 10 for a Ninette, see that’s creativity speaking Lin, and thinking outside the box! thank you so much for such a comment, we can only wait and see how the sponsor views this one, cheers David

The depth in this poem, David, lies, I think, in the fact that what I see in it, may or may not be what you intended. I’ve linked ‘Life’ & ‘everywhere’ which on Earth is true with ‘Rare’ which in terms of our universe is ‘rare’… and ‘aware’(ness) with ‘a dream’. Whatever your intentions… it got me thinking… and some would say ‘that makes a change.’

David Kavanagh

Terry you’re bang on, life is everywhere on our tiny dot, but on the grand universal stage extremely rare if not unique, yes we must be aware to dream, thank you for being spot on with this comment, cheers David

Shaped like a Ninette should be shaped. (no caps). We almost had it all didn't we! Newton held a Christian faith that, had it been made public, would not have been considered orthodox by mainstream Christianity, with one historian labelling him a heretic. I am wondering if I should have titled my Ninette "World?" or "Universe?" Nonetheless, I changed it.

David Kavanagh

Newton was a visionary Anaya, and he backed it up with the math, but I digress, I haven’t read your one yet, will check it out later and give my choice for name, thanks for the heads up on (no caps) and for nice critique cheers David

Like this one David, makes me ponder what it is to want more or perhaps what it would mean to be satisfied

You have asked the right question Dilly, I once wrote a controversial piece on why a god would want to continue on for eternity, imagine the nightmare of having done everything an infinite amount of times! see where I’m going here, cheers David
