After long hours of wandering,
And climbing up that hill,
And perplexed wondering:
Whose will am I trying to fulfill?
What was Sisyphus thinking
While dragging a boulder on his shoulders?
My wishful sinking,
And wistful drinking.
It's getting colder.
I lost the thread
I am afraid. But don't get mad,
I'll start again.
After climbing up that hill,
Fulfilling my will,
Getting to know the real
Beauty of the sunset
Which I, of course, had already met
On numerous occasions before,
But under different circumstances; therefore
I climbed that hill.
I saw a pub—that's what will heal
My weary body. And as I read, black on white:
Free beer,
I sneer at my recent doubts.
I put all of the regrets aside.
Yes, I knew with all my guts,
I came here for a reason.
I prowl closer,
And closer. And read once more...
What a... treason!

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

Such a well written poem Andrei! I really didn't know what to expect from the poem when I opened it, but it took me on a whole journey and the twist in the end was the cherry on top. Well done!
Haha oh man, I really felt for this character. I wanted them to get that free beer, what a sucker punch at the end, but really funny. So well written, took me on a little journey there!
Super cool.
