Well, not very often I award a six for such a short work, but this one is worth it, the comparison to the black widow and earth's destruction at the hands of man is excellent, very well written, and presented, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is an interesting short short poem. At first I was thinking that a plague of spiders took over the world, but they wouldn't consume all the resources. I know there is hope because of new ways to use existing resources, like drip systems in agriculture. There are of course places where people might be on the brink of ruin, but it seems that there are ways to distribute and share knowledge and supplies. So this short poem points out that even the danger of running out could be likened to a black widow. (In the notes I think you mean 'simulation' or 'symbolism' not 'simulism.' And also, I think you mean 'consumes her mate' in the next section).

This was well written rich in Theme and Imagery.
Message as Earth's Woes are ever so.
Tumultuous Earthquakes.
Volcanic Activity.
(Over due)
Covid -19 Variant #3 Pandemic Crisis.
Isis on the loose, a Loose Caboose?
Thanks for sharing this and good luck with your contest entry!

WWIII?
Nuclear Destruction?
Tear the Earth on Half?
One side goes to Satan and the other side?
Who knows?

My brain?
Runs on grains of sand.
Dispense on every beachfront of every land.
You can collect it in the deserts if you dare?
With just one sip of water if you care?

Comment from Eleri
It is always a challenge to write a poem that makes sense with so few words. I think that you have produced a very insightful poem here but I think that, without your explanation, I would not have really got it, ie the connection between the Black widow and the end of the earth as to me a black widow is either a venomous spider or a woman who destroys men. You are obviously a bit too subtle for me but I'm sure that many other people will get it so good luck in the competition.

Thank you all and for your really great review and I thank you for taking the time it is most appreciated a small explanation as to the black widow black widow as far as I understand her she kills her mate after she eats them and we're kind of like that on the planet we kill the planets after we eat it therefore I use that terminology for the poem I hope that makes some sense anyway thank you again I really appreciate I hope you have a great night!
Comment from Lobber
Hi Lea,
we certainly need writers who can identify )what is and what is coming( - especially if you can do it in six words. not sure if you want )breaths( OR )breathes(.

PS - BC is beautiful! I live in sinful Toronto where they want to cut down 100+ trees for a new downtown subway stop!

Hi thank you so much for your review you're absolutely right! I have corrected that 1 word.
Funny it doesn't come up on spell check though which doesn't surprise me. Thank you for the tip and yes BC is very beautiful do you ever get out here will be happy to tour you around! Hope you have a fabulous day!
Comment from Carlos' girl
When you only have six words you should be sure none of them are misspelled. BREATHES. Not breaths. Unless your poem really is on its last leg.
Nice idea tho

Comment from Mark Kuglin
I had to contemplate this a bit.
At first glance, it seemed incomplete.
Upon closer examination, the depth is revealed.
This is layered and textured.
Kudos on doing it in so few words.
