A ‘Septolet’
I whine about caffeine withdrawal. Ukrainian Jews fast for Yom Kippur on the front.
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)

I love this prayer for your people on the front
Deeply felt fast
In contrast.

Yom Kippur is celebrated on the 10th day of Tishrei
In India, it is the 10th day of Dusshera
I’m always delighted by similarities in cultures and systems of faith. And wonder why we get entangled in differences instead.
So interestingโฃ๏ธ ๐ค
March forward with Flag and Faith
My tomorrow is the courage today you face

Sometimes it’s important to put things in perspective. Quitting coffee? I’m on day three without. I’m sleepy, but I think that’s because I keep waking up around 3am for no good reason. ๐ซโ๐ต
