Sotto Poet Poet Blitz

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

Silent One February 17, 2024 at 11:21 AM 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..

Hiya Sharma January 19, 2024 at 9:52 AM 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

Ink Empress January 19, 2024 at 3:09 AM 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!
