Fleeting Flitting wings, drastic things Symbols and breaking starlight Falling Feeling strife, raising life Perfect circles roll to a close
It's been a little while for me, not having written anything in a long while. Hopefully, this little tidbit is the breaker of a larger wave.

Nice one. Often its the smaller poems that say more than lengthy ones.
I know you might hate me for this, but would you not like the third and sixth line to rhyme as well?
I am not one who is used to your poems so I don't know if you intentionally make it not rhyme or just throw things together as they pop into your head (like I usually do)

You know me, Eun. You know how I love to use the short and hard-hitting style. I'm glad to see that you're writing again. Sometimes a little push is what's needed to make the words flow again. I enjoyed the images that reminded me of a strobe light going off in a dark room. The pictures you left tell a story of their own, even though they were phrases and individual words instead of sentences. Nice work.

Nice one. Often its the smaller poems that say more than lengthy ones. That is, in psychological truth, because they leave more up to reader interpretation. This gives the poem the feeling of saying more.
If I say "starship" and leave the image and reality up to your imagination, you will see infinitely more than if I were also to give you pictures, schematics, statistics and figures... as well as a detailed crew requirement. See my meaning?
