Down & out… wait I’ll come back
Acknowledge painful setbacks
Read my actions, I’ll come back
Innovate, find alternate paths
Nah, retreat is not an option
Greatness is built step-by-step
Working, reviewing, restartinG
Time spent does not matteR
I tried, I failed, again I camE
No magic wand, no AbracadabrA
Whatever I learn is accomplishmenT
Putting out my real self is not banaL
I accept my self, my vulnerabilitY
Poetics: For the love of puzzles . . .


Love this! And such a truism: greatness is built step by step…..and then that statement “I accept my self, my vulnerabilitY” becomes not a statement of being less….rather a statement of affirmation.
