RE: SPU Poetry Contest #6: The End

in #poetsunited6 years ago

Flattery will only get you a teensy bit of the way there @thetalkingduck ;^) But a highly thoughtful, well-crafted poem like this will getcha preeeetty far. I especially love the incorporation of info about the human population over time...Amazing to think everyone here today is only 7 % of everyone who has ever lived! How small we are..

Thank you kindly 😊 To be honest this is one of the first times I've written something free form rather than a fairly strict rhyming structure, so I'm glad you liked it!
How small indeed, but given how long we've been around it still seems to me like a surprisingly large portion of us to all be alive at the same time.
