Hmmmm, this is very interesting Sven.

let me start of by saying....I think that the second line is a little, umm, ok actually very very short. It seems to unbalance the form and style that you have chosen to be creative with.  

Allow me to suggest something like this perhaps...

. . . - - - . . - - +
. ( ^? + + + - - - > <
- - - . . . & . . . - - -

+ ) > . . . - - . . <
. . . + + + - - - > > >
( ( ( - - - . . .

I beleive that structuring it like I have shown you above will stabalise the texture! IMHO of course!  

All in all, terrific work m'friend!  

LOL! You crack me up.

Hope you don't mind Sven, all in good humour of course and let me tell you, I do appreciate your suggestions for my poem.

I really don't know what it is saying to me.  Little green men are not coming out with any answers either.  My imagination just drew a blank.  Am I not on the right channel or wavelength??

LOL     First, I'd like to say that there really is no deep meaning to this one. . . it's just an "expirment". . . something to get you all to think outside of the "normal" boxes about what poetry is and what poetry isn't. . . something to get your minds going. . . now, I'm sure that most of you have seen these kinds of things in books about "modern" or "experimental" poetry. . . but, I thought that I'd just have some fun with it, and get you all to think a little fast on your feet. . .  

Sunshine, you don't have to close it my friend. . . just having some fun!!  

Titia, I'm glad that it spoke to you. . . I'm just wondering what language it spoke to you in!  LOL

Melissa, I can assure you that I did not have too much to drink last night. . . tonight however. . .    LOL

Snowdwen, I'm sure that we all have felt this way. . . thank you. . .  

LW, 001111 000001 0111001100 001111, 0110011001111. . .LOL

Victoria, shhh!! You'll ruin it for the rest of them!!  LOL  

DA, you may be really right about the second line. . . hmmmmmmmm. . . thank you my friend. . . your response was perfect!!!  

serenity, no I don't!!  but, at least I didn't use #***/%%---++!!  LOL

Ariana, you're on the right channel. . .it's just that I made it fuzzy for everyone. . .

Enchanted Melody, no, not a challenge per se. . . just a way to try to get you to think differently. . . thank you. . .

wpwpoet. you could be right about that. . . got any suggestions??

Sven,
I am so glad you finally posted a reply! You had me worried that some of those little dudes from planet ork had taken over your body. You know the ones who carve patterns in fields in the dead of night...those guys.
Whew! So glad we don't have to worry about losing the real Sven!

Sven,

As a ham radio operator who really DOES000000 know morse code I got a grin from this one, my friend.  I'll teach you *real morse code* any time you're ready to learn. LOL

Sven , hey I think the third sixth and tenth lines need to be qoutes " " and mabey not end with a question but with this !?! or just this ?! it might seem fuller and more complete. I do plan to read it again and will give a little more if you do happen to like my suggestion and edit the post.
