Written 3 June 2026 for Poetic Reply Poetry Contest of Nette Onclaud
Dear poet, with a deep sense of humility, I dare reply to your memorable verse, “Where Without Whom,” a jewel of the mind. Perhaps, your noble steps did stroll astray, Treading the forest, where no breath of kin resides, Chasing your soul, where no shine of sun sheens, Where the breeze don`t whisper on leaves a name, Where the dead quietude has prompted you To carve a gem that will glow across time And blow with warm wondrous winds across space.
