Lubricant Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Kai Michael Neumann. Written in my Yalto form: 3,4,2,4,5,3,2,3,2,3,3,5,6,1,5 syllables. Date : 07/12/2025

meant to be... grabbed with both hands. one can only hold on to both ends of this rare chance, lest it s l i p s... from one's grasp. careful! it is but... fragile glass! a slippery chance that glistens in the sun. c l u t c h tightly on to such.

Some things just too easily slip away, though I suppose you managed to hold on this theme very well, Edward :D Congrats on the top win, and fascinating form.

Soooo happy to see your wonderful Yalto win a well-deserved accolade Edward. It’s so well written and illustrated. Yalto isn’t the easiest form, but when mastered, it is so effective. I was tense as I read, in case you had decided it should spill. It began as it ended,,, perfectly. Congrats my "unique" friend.

This is beautiful ! Slippery is an opportunity. If we don't hold it with care or grasp it tight, it will slip off our hold. Very ingeniously thought out poem, dear Edward. Beautifully shaped too. All the Best!
