I like this, but then I would. We are on a similar wavelength. I also like your presentation of the piece. It works really well.

"a tiny seed seeking the light" - I like your poem a lot, especially considering the title you gave it

I recently wrote a poem in this single-word-line format, but didn't quite have the nerve to publish it... it is perfect for your poem, perfect
