Good work. If 2020 was a movie, it might be a cross between Rise of the Guardians, (with the government playing the part of Pitch Black) and The Hunger Games.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, The Hunger Games for sure...and nobody wins.
thank you, Fabian,

when Crane was young and sensitive, he dreamed for long hours of love and beauty. When he finally threw himself to the waves the ships captain refused to turn the ship around and look for his body. How come someone so valuable in death be shown such disregard in life? Which brings us to 2020. Is it easier to forget the names of 350,000 dead than to remember that mothers chrysanthemums didn't bloom this summer? No one hears the screams of silent things even as their wails intoxicate the town.....great image my friend....dana

the dead forgotten by some, but not by most of us.
I am drunk on anger and frustration.

Cool... really Cool...
I adore Mimes... why do we
not see more of them... in Artful Movies...
or perhaps we do ... every day without
realizing... gently, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, maybe without realizing...thank you, Pat,

I spent hours trying to write a letter to 2020 I never got past the word 2020... I then filmed myself burning the paper with the date scrawled on it and that ended my poetic journey! that was probably the best poem I ever wrote:?

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Could I put my poem in your fire as well?
Then we could gloat together over the best poems we wrote that no one ever saw.

A terrible year, one most would like to forget. Dark humour at play here in this little piece of brevity my friend.
