Hubris Phobia (syntuit)

There is a great deal of probity in this poem. A very beautiful piece; such elegance in reflecting so much emotions and thoughts in such a short verse.

This might be one of the most thought-tangling poems in the past two weeks.

Well done! Keep writing

Just straightforward and to the point. Many people has this kind of fear, as if you enjoyed the good bad happy moments, something bad would happen. Or one may think "this is a good thing, but what's the catch? ". We miss many things fearing of their loss when we should be enjoying them. Great piece and great form.

Congratulations, thank you very much for introducing this form, I'm pretty interested actually, but the juxtaposition is really challenging to achieve successfully.

Great job, Larry.

These are profound words which will make one sit back and think. Yes there is fear when everything unfolds with
happiness and bliss something bad happens. At the same
time we should not forget how this happiness was attained thanking the Almighty and be grateful for each
day that comes with a smile.

Congrats on the win!

Striking piece (and form).

What spoke to me in this especially was how you wrote "need". I expected it to read, as I've heard others say, "I should not fear". But the realization that all humans fear, maybe hold onto it, so we don't have to move on or work through a loss. It's a journey, like you said about the blessings. The blessings of life, of family, of specific things in our lives. We must be thankful for them, no matter how long they are present in our lives.

Powerful!
