wow, wow, and more wow. I just love your mind! I don't know of another who could come up with such an artful piece. It's stunning. I love it. It conjures up Quentin Tarrantinos "Kill Bill" pictures...and the man who made the swords. It is an art, for sure, just as any smithing and poetry is!! Excellent piece.

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

Wow wow wow love this very clever

[Enchanted-Raven]

Cleverly done....enjoyed :) x

[SleeplessVolcano]

Made my eyes blurry for a minute there, but this is great concrete poetry! The last few words were a bit "jabby" but I guess that may have been your intention. :)

[Ken Simm.]

Clever and pointed. (Pun etc).

[Great Aunt Astri]

I had a hard time figuring this out! but, actually, in the end it did seem to make sense! Good format. Enjoyed it, (I think!)

[Relic]

I've never seen a poem like this before. Quite a unique presentation. I like the fact that you put heart right in the middle.

A fine poem.

[R J Askew]

Cheers Relic.

This is amazing, Mr. Askew, truly is. You've lured your reader with great skill, laid an art form before him/her, THEN, expressed something every poet should know.. and feel.

I wonder how lonG it took you to present this poem? Would have to be done slowly?

Brilliant!

[R J Askew]

Thank you Emma *bows*

[writ rajat]

wowws what a poetic design you have made

[Tina H.W.]

Oh my...that was...yikes! I really am lost for words...
The layout of that poem only adds to the tension. I'm truly lost for an appropriate, fitting adjective for this piece. I can only say...wow!!
