Kernels of Success

I cast these concepts I cast these kernels Kernels in my hand Kernels in the clay Clay of loam Clay of words Words to describe Words packed Packed with exegesis Packed with strength Strength of scavenging Strength of crowd Crowd of swarms Crowd of staleness Staleness with enthusiasm Staleness with bluntness Bluntness of prediction Bluntness of demeanor Demeanor with smile Demeanor of delight Delight in adventure Delight of writing Writing of nursery stories Writing of poetry Poetry from heart Poetry for show Show of pride Show of faith Faith in progression Faith in aestheticism Aestheticism in connoisseurship Aestheticism of spirit Spirit to convince Spirit with zoanthropy Zoanthropy from hysteria Zoanthropy of diabolical Diabolical in a cave Diabolical of power Power to rule Power to deceive Deceive with attempt Deceive to mislead Mislead unfair impression Mislead into thinking Thinking about calm Thinking about success Success isn't happiness Success isn't wealth Wealth Happiness

I thought your poem flowed really well, you did miss the ... from the end of the last two lines, but I did not take that rule too seriously... Congratulations on your placement in the contest..

Oh wow, dear Sotto, what an amazing Blitz you've woven with your impeccable artistry that shines so vividly! I absolutely love your wordplay here that creates such a powerful impact on the reader..It's not an easy form to do, as particularly one has to maintain the flow whilst making unique statements and painting emotions poetically..You've excelled in this aspect with your phraseology and creativity here.I especially love the ending "Success isn't happiness Success isn't wealth" Just brilliant

You did this form so well dr sotto, it flows very well and is easy to read although there are words that im not aware of still, it didnt make it any less appealing or challenging to read. And your title too is done perfectly and i must say the way this flows has a lyrical cadence! I love especially the lines “ Poetry from heart Poetry for show Show of pride Show of faith“ just wow! I love that! And also “ Success isn't happiness Success isn't wealth“ something i always say! And believe! BOL!

you've inspired me to try this form of poetry...it not only looks mentally challenging but also artistically freeing (If I'm making sense..) I thought your use of ' zoanthropy' was both powerful and creative. Your poem resonated with me...your poetess friend in Texas, Sara
