- Go to Endgame: Vantage
I feel mentally abused
by the lightening fast changes of such captivating images - how you build a picture so clearly with a few lines is beyond me buddy.
Good finish too - I leap eagerly to the next one.

Re: NiteTide
I've honestly been wondering when to post them. It's important that each poem be read as part of the group, but I also want to catch the most readers. What's the best time? Should I rebump Vantage and wait another 12 hours, or should I post the follow-up now? Your thoughts?

Wow....this is surreal....the many vantage points in this poem alone just blew me away...and yet pulled me back in to re-live each life. If that's not the power of words...then I don't know what is. Now, I am truly curious to the rest of this Endgame, and cannot wait for the next 7!

I felt as though I was stepping into a dream not my own
until I read further and felt familiar ground. It was an amazing snapshot of life. And a sensitve vantage point

So many life vignettes captured in this piece. But your ending - your encouragement to embrace diversity - is excellent advice. As the saying goes:
Walk a mile in another man's shoes.
