A ‘Septolet’
Smoke billows over a Russian airfield. America doesn't "enable" or "encourage" strikes on Russia.
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)

When did America “enable” or “encourage”? What did I miss”?
๐ป Dolly ๐ป ~ no, that’s the point! The State Department specifically said that the USA has not “enabled” or “encouraged” such actions.

Iโm waiting for the backlash. A bully pummels the quiet kid, the victim fights back and has the bully on the ground, then is pulled off and the victim is punished for hitting the bully. No one remembers that the bully started it, had been punching hard and fighting dirtyโฆ

There is so much smokes and mirrors about this war
And itโs made us suspicious about the reporting, analysis and opinion pieces.
