well, honestly?  I'd like to know what it all means but I'm just too tired today to figure it out!

*jenn smacks you*   Okay..so umm..I got a lil jealousy bug for a half a second?
LOL! You definetely to this better than I. I'm having a bit of trouble putting together the words in the first letter and the third letter. If I want a headache this morning, I'll go beat my head against a wall, thanks!  

Really..I love this, John. My high school boyfriend wrote me a letter like this once. It wasn't a poem, but the words of the letter spelled out "I Love You" Thanks for bringing back a cute memory and writing something wonderful again.


Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since

I'm not even trying this one Sven,  I think I need to print it out and just work with one of these sometime and see what I can do.  Looks like a challenge to me.......lmao...a big one!!  You do write so wonderfully dear friend.

I won't pretend that I understand what does this mean...
It seems to need some real hard thinking to figure out.....Oh, I have so many things on my mind today...


A clever one nonetheless.....

Thank you

Not bad, Sven... it took me a while to get, too.  Maybe next time you might consider using HTML colour codes to make the words more easily differentiated?
Or were you trying to bust a brain vein on your reader?

think about what
a piece of the heart is
and, you'll see it
right before you
framed and shown
to a world
that waits in a dream

those are the words to the poem. . . and yes, it's a challenge to read, but that's what makes it fun. . . concrete poems are fun and challenging to do. . . once you get the shape that you're going to do in your head, it's easy to go from there. . . perhaps I'll do some more. . . and yes, Allan, perhaps I'll throw in some color this time. . .

thank you all for your replies. . . I'm glad that you're enjoying this little trip into the more creative corners of my mind. . .

Clever enjoyable write! I had to read it twice, but then it just seemed to jump out at me the second time.
