A ‘Septolet’
Ukrainian forces bog down Russia's military offensives. Russian mass mobilization would destabilize Putin's government.
Septolet?
The Septolet is a poem consisting of seven lines containing fourteen words with a break anywhere in between the two parts. Both parts deal with the same thought and create a picture.
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Slow, small wars of attrition only win, when folks aren’t paying attention or the costs are low to run – recent developments on many fronts, I”ve seen – waiting to see how it all plays out – for everyone –
It’s sad that so many people have to suffer and die before the end is arrived at… (I’m just saying this rhetorically, expressing my feelings)
yes – it is sad – we are victims of our own success – the minute we became successful enough on any level? we started to think ‘other human’ lives are many and abundant and ‘not like us’ – thus, on many fronts? “Expendable” by anyone who wishes to do what’s best for them and see everyone else as enemy without relief, but not willing, ever, to sacrifice themselves – for humanity – lots of those lil folks running around the planet – sorta like flies – ya know – why do I say such things? Just expressing my thoughts – flies? Um, yeah – I have a fly swatter – and I use it – 😀 Same way I feel about flies is how many humans feel about other humans – no getting around it – ever –
i’m all in.. don’t tell your MIL! 💖😂💖

Fear controls so much, too much, of what we do and don’t do. (K)

I think it’s already plenty destabilized. To quote Yakov Smirnov, “What a country!”
Seems pretty stable to me
Let’s agree to disagree.
🤍
well… to be more clear about how ‘stable’ it is, it’s stable on the surface due to ppl’s fears of getting jailed.
That’s right. Nothing much changed there since the times of St Vladimir.

Then let Ruskies say Mass
huh? I don’t get it.
Russian mass mobilization
would
destabilize Putin’s government. Right? SO Let the Russians recite the Holy MASS. Which is mass mobilization. And will destabilize Putin’s Government.
Let the Ruskies say Mass.
oh, I get it!
hmmnn… I wonder what effect that would have 😉
I’m weighing in strongly for inner revolt
Enough is enough
Come stability
It seems to me that things have yet to get worse before they can get better, Abi… Also, it’s entirely possible that if Putin is toppled, he will be replaced by somebody worse 😦
So true, I don’t know what horrors must still have their way, people are so ravaged by violence and torture. Our world is so sick upstairs.
We don’t know what reptile is laying in wait there in the underbelly. 💔
