A title grabs the wand'ring eye you hesitate and think, What is there in those words and why did I pause here ... then blink. A portal opens on the souls of those who must express, aloud what most keep bottled up, we're driven to confess. We sort through our chaotic lives to find the proper phrase. The sum of our experience is metered out in ways, unique to ev'ry one of us yet shared through common link. The reason why we hesitate, and pause , once more ... then blink Shared visions of these countless souls create the new gestalt. Accessable as n'er before through electronic vault. The implications that this holds in just another blink, may come to be as are fore-told... in Absentia , I think . |

Shared visions of these countless souls create the new gestalt. That is cool! I love the concept and words! (Author grabs me first, THEN title!)  C Read my Words. Read my Face. Don't just look at either. -C |

Very cool, indeed! Well, some authors are a must read for me no matter the title because I always know that I will find something fantastic to read (you being one of them) but I must admit, I love a title that grabs me...doesn't matter what name is beside it, I have to read it! This is fantastic, as always, Dr. Moose! Denise |

PDV, I have to agree with you on that , but for the story behind the poem , I had to bend the truth a little .Thanks Doc Christopher, I was intrigued by the concept and the rest just spilled out. What a mess ! Now I've got to clean up after myself. Doc d, We all have our favorites ( you're one of mine ).I still think the title is a powerful eye-catching tool and try to use it to hint at what will follow . Thanks again . Doc |
