Simply put, yet thought-provoking.
Ooh, smartypants. Yes, this seesaw is always on the go, isnt it.
Great inversion!ππ
This is so true, and like an hourglass, it is filled with some truth in both directions. You created an amazing inverse with such an economy of words. Well done, Paul!
Very true in both ways! And very clever!
Whoaaa, so profound both forwards and backwards. Or is it downwards and upwards? But I digress. You packed a punch here King Paul Shakespeare! π©π₯
Well this is maudlin Paul, nicely done though! I echo Randyβs comments. βΊοΈπ
π Simple and beautiful π
Oddly enough, both tend to be true in their own ways.
Paul this was beautiful!! I love that you kept it simple and how much meaning it carries!! Great work!!
β€οΈ Simple, yet impactful. I've always thought fewer words leave people to fill in the rest, which leaves a lasting impression. And it's a magnificent sentiment, Paul.
Very clever. Great entry, my friend.
Damn!! This was fire π₯
Oooo I like this one!!
How the β¦.? This is perfectly said with those few words. This one truly amazes me with how much is in here.
Bloody brilliant! Short, to the point, beautifully constructed. I am impressed.
