A ‘Septolet’
Ukrainians restore utilities and clear landmines. Ukrainians investigate hundreds of war crimes in Kherson.
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)

Ukrainians have demonstrated remarkable courage and spirit! They will need it to reconstruct their beautiful country. Love the poem, David! โค
