Even if I write smallest of poems
I have to copyright them.
Wonder who brought those
Stones on the steepest of mountains,
Who made those monuments?

I have had, 4 or 5 years ago, two of my pomes winning ‘peanuts’ poetry competitions – ones I never entered but found out about via the grapevine. However I took that as a compliment. our work here is automatically copyrighted – and at other sites – not that people are queuing up to rip it off 🙂
Thank you for reading and commenting. We are connected to each other thanks to the UKA, and there’s nothing wrong in automatically having your posts copyrighted.
I think my concern is much deeper than that.
Oh I get your concern – we are tracked, ticketed, measured, weighed, photographed at every opportunity – it’s called homologation the covert official approval for just about everything. They’d meter our breaths if they could 🙁
Yes maybe.
this is a fine thought-provoking piece
it is also deep enough to not even you know how deep. a true moment of inspiration here. a connection with the unknown.
maybe the phrasing is too Greeklish here “to not even you know how deep” hope you understand it or others or you phrase it better.
I did. 🙂
Honoured. Thank you.
Very nice…I wonder if: Even if I write the smallest? Did you not want the ‘the’ there? I love this nod to the stone carriers -excellent.
I used the hellenic perception of language on the matter, because in English ‘the’ was missing. Then I saw that in order to accentuate the importance of Smallest and inextricably connect it with “I write” then “Smallest” going beyond quantity and size had to be the-free, he had to get rid of the redudancy of ‘the’ as it is not about comparison but the essence of humbly knowing who you are and what you do. Personally I’d keep it that way. In my opinion, of course.
Yes!
Thank you for reading and commenting. English is indeed a tricky language! Grammatically, I am kind of obliged to use the determinant, but I was thinking more like Nic; hence ‘smallest’, but ‘the steepest’. I am glad you liked it.
I see – I think that is an excellent idea then! Bravo!
Thank you!
