About the Creator
Kristen Balyeat
Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night– I’m humbly one of the many vessels they use to come to life.

Have you ever wondered why North Korea is always threatening to start a war?
First up, we've got Kim Jong Un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, who's always talking about nuking this and attacking that. But why? Is he just a madman with a finger on the big red button? 🤔💣 Turns out, this whole "threaten war" thing is a family tradition. Kim's dad, Kim Jong Il, came up with the "military first" policy to make North Koreans think their poverty was a necessary sacrifice to protect them from the big bad world. 💸🪖 So, Kim Jong Un is basically using the same playbook. He's like, "Hey, forget about the fact that you're starving and I'm living it up in my fancy palace. We need to focus on the real enemy: everyone else!" 😡🏰 Plus, nothing says "I'm a tough guy" like testing some nukes and making the world pee their pants a little. Kim Jong Un's got to show his generals and politicians that he means business. 💪💥 But here's the thing: even Kim's buddies, China and Russia, aren't too keen on a full-blown nuclear war. So, he's got to be careful not to push things too far, or he might lose his only friends. 🇨🇳🇷🇺 Some smart people think the way to deal with North Korea is to give them a little smack on the wrist, like a targeted military strike or some sneaky information warfare. But that's like poking a bear with a nuke - it could get ugly fast. 🐻💣 Others are like, "Chill out, everyone. North Korea's been making empty threats for years, and we're still here." They say the U.S. and South Korea are ready to rumble if things get real. 💪🇺🇸🇰🇷 Lately, it seems like North Korea might be more interested in making money than making war. But who knows? Kim Jong Un is about as predictable as a cat on catnip. 🐱🌿 One thing that's got everyone a little nervous is North Korea getting their hands on some fancy new weapons from Russia. It's like giving a toddler a loaded gun - sure, they might not shoot it on purpose, but accidents happen. 👶🔫 At the end of the day, we've all got to hope that everyone keeps their cool and that North Korea's threats stay just that - threats. Because if this thing goes nuclear, we're all in for a bad time. ☢️💀

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.

So lovely and beautifully done. Finding joy in creation.
So, so gorgeous, Kristen! This has such a spiritual and meditational flow to it. I really love the structure as well - truly beautiful work! 🥹❤️
This is absolutely gorgeous, and so peaceful. Great job, as always.
Your poetry has a calming effect on me, I get lost it in the harmony of it. So well done Kristen.
I could feel the power of suggestion flowing through me as the words trailed down the page. Amazing effect!!! 💖💯👏🍻
This read as a hymn at times in my head! I don’t think you meant it to Kristen or perhaps you did.. a meditative hymn to a “collective hum” (I loved that phrase). Really random, but I also read it though once with just the italicised words too which also worked well (I think I was looking for some secret meaning or code). 😆 Really transporting and immersive writing. ☺️
Whoaaaa, your poems always render me speechless! This was absolutely breathtaking! I loved it!
Thank you for leading me through this zen garden of harmonic tranquility 😍
The curious silence of the child blossoms into the fullness of wordless exultation of those who have allowed themselves to be released into the universe, all beautifully & articulately stated in spite of all the words employed to express & guide us toward it.
I love the inclusion of movement in this!! Such a vital part of connection with ourselves that we often forget… amazing poem ✨
I am literally (LITERALLY!!!!!!!!!) giving this a standing ovation!!! This is absolutely next level! ✨🤍🕊️🤍🕊️✨ my arms had tingles even by the 4th line… a masterpiece. Truly !!!
Brilliant ♥️💯✌️😉
I really, really, truly, love the way you “sway.” 🥰
Oh em gee! You have such an incredible way with wonderful words, my friend! I could feel the vibrations in this.
The nature of sound and exaltation in words, I really love the very material mysticism of this poem. Like an act of meditation.
