This poem reminds me of a series by professor Brian Cox that I'm watching on tv at the moment. It deals with the physics of things and explains the reason why shapes are what they are eg, the earth is round for a reason etc. My point in all this is that we too often look at things without really looking.
What I found particularly excellent about this was the '(con)temporary' part - very clever. Great write.

Pure genius. Xx

Ether, this is a fantastic poem! you had me at "velocity of raindrops" it make me think of how a raindrop changes shape as its moving and at the point of impact returns to its normal shape just before the splatter....I've known people a bit like that lol I really like your word choice and the tempo of the piece. great job.

Judging Comment:

The imagery within this piece is absolutely stunning and the style here is so interesting - even for freestyle which is usually interesting in its own ways with the personalized flow and message alongside images and scenes that come alive in such new ways even when they are tired or overdone. Now, I'm not saying that this piece is tired, because its really not; but what I am saying is that I love how this author took freeform and creativity somewhere newer than new. Somewhere that the words could come alive in more dimensions than before. I enjoyed the way this was simple and yet intensely beautiful. Great write.
