Polarity

Oh what a lovely rocket shape you have created Valsa with your lovely words, with inspirational flame on top of that. Congratulations on your win in this contest, that challenges us to soar higher and higher up.

Valsa, your words are smart and motivating. I'm impressed with your shape-making skills. Congratulations on your win!

inspirational and wise words, dear Valsa. I always find your poems take me to a higher place, and for that I'm grateful. I admire your ability to create shapes....I've not yet developed that skill. Wishing you a pleasant evening, Sara

I agree that all that we go through can either lift us to a loftier place or for some pull them down into despair that they can't rise from. Thank you, Valsa, for sharing this one with us. Sara K

I love the form you created here and yes higher and higher, this is what we should all strive for in our lives. Thankyou for sharing your creative side , love it

"teaching us, building us, and strengthening us." -- binding us, redeeming us. Love it!

Wow. Excellent use of shape to give us this rocketship. of need full opposites in life!

Dearest Valsa, this is both visually and emotionally powerful—so beautifully presented, so deeply felt. The way you’ve laid out the words mirrors the rhythms of life itself, with its rises and falls, its contrasts and harmonies. I love how you remind us that joy and pain, hope and despair, all belong to the same thread—that they’re not just opposites but co-creators of strength. Good luck in the contest...Hugs .

"That which does not kill us makes us stronger" - Friedrich Nietzsche. I think old Friedrich would have approved of your poem, Valsa. Nicely contrived! :) john p.s good luck in the contest!
