Quill of Defiance

Written: November 3rd, 2025 ************ A poet is more than a penman— not merely a rash historian of verse. We shatter the ordinary, aspiring to the nirvana of heaven, unwavering in the face of decay. We explore the remnants of society, discern the divine from the false, cast aside the sustenance fed to tired souls and build soaring meditations from ash.

Hi Sotto, so true—poetry is so different from narrative. Brilliant poem.
