War

is a pit of snakes

starting with their tails

consuming themselves

Succinctly ouroborus, Diana! And so the circles constrict and diminish until all life is sucked away. Fascinating fore-word, too. xx

So few words, yet those words speak great volumes. What you wrote above the work is absolutely mind blowing....

A powerful metaphor that evokes a very frightening vision, an apocalypse. Your poem also makes me think that violence is a never-ending cycle, something like an ouroboros, a living paradox of life and death.

Too short. The snakes, not the poem. ;-)

Thank you for your lavish review of Wonder. It wasn't deserved.
