Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Venezuela
By Leavie “Soul on Fire” Scott Her name was Nava, a 23‑year‑old shopkeeper’s daughter from Tehran, though she didn’t feel young anymore. Not after the week she had survived. Not after watching the value of Iran’s currency collapse so fast that shop windows changed prices twice a day. Not after seeing her father stand in his empty store and whisper, “I cannot afford to open tomorrow.”

😍😍 the bright sun image blinded my eyes through my phone screen, short and sweet
Very nice piece and attempt at a tautogram. Really enjoyed the revised editions of tautograms, too, that you've written.
Love these little poems you've been doing, Mark. But...I wanted to let you know, in the kindest possible way, that they are not tautograms. A tautogram, basically, is a poem or piece of writing where all the words in the piece start with the same letter. - https://www.writersdigest.com/write-better-poetry/tautogram-poetic-forms
