Thank you, Jennifer -- it's a first for me in terms of the spaces/spacing really being as important as the words...

Love your presentation and your words.

MArk, this sounds like a loss poem, but it isn't really. I like the spacing, it does add feeling to it somehow.

Nancy -- thank you...  sometimes it's all in the "presentation"...

Sandra, it is actually, but as you notice, at the same time, it is also a poem of "letting go"...

Logan, now there's a perspective I hadn't considered!  Interesting, through such eyes...

Yes, I agree with Logan. It's very Vertigo. Except he couldn't let go. But I believe his eloquence and confusion was the beginning. The form was very fitting indeed. Great job.

Sincerely,
Regina

VERY COOL!!
creative and clever write Mark...
the format and presentation gave the succinct
emote a cryptic haunted feel to it.

Feels like Im dancin with truth and wisdom
Precious rhythm you are my guide
These days are sacred, my heart is humble
Oh warrior show me thy light

Creative way to move beyond the past Mark.
Well done

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

Thanks, Regina...  perhaps "The Lady Vanishes" would be even more appropriate...?

JM, thank you very much -- it's nice to be back, if even for a few moments...

Dan, it's all about striving to be creative, no?
