This is a mighty powerful poem, QH. I think I still remember it from the earliest days of having you here, but it's always great to refresh one's memory about such relevant themes.
Brutal and beautiful. You not only capture the violence, but the anticipation of it—the hum, the searching, the moment just before impact. It lingers. 🙏
Probably this one: I actually like all the concepts I try to write about, but this one just needed more time to breathe. A few more edits, better flow and rhythm.
Difficult content but it needs to be said. These deaths shouldn’t go unnoticed.
Thanks Andrea 🙏
Exceptional

If ever there was a poem that captures the scenes of war drones, this is it. You captured it so well in the hunting beers and armored birds.
God damn, lovely imagery. This was a very enjoyable read.
Thanks Jahdean! I appreciate you being here mate 🙏

This made my heart bleed. I don't like that people suffer through such horror.
I appreciate the author’s note. Glad you added it. Also, it’s a great piece to be ‘an intro’ here. How many more have you written since then?
I took your advice!!!
I have 75 posts on Substack 🤯. A few ones I like, a few ones I don’t haha!
Mate, which ones are you the least fond of? I’m already trying to read the pages less travelled

Those last lines are such a powerful conclusion to this devastating poem.
Thanks Nora, I really appreciate you reading! 🙏
