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.

This is blinding..........the layout just fabulous and the words contained within reminds me we all have
our own unique swords.........weaving art and words......the red print at the beginning almost bleeding down.........This should be on the front page of your published book..........it's perfect and so very you.

Whoa! That was cool how you displayed. It's like something that I would snap for instead of clap for. lol Cool poem! ^^

Ironically Yours, Blade and Blood

Very nice work. I like the way that you started with an "A" to give a point to your rapier. Who still understands swords and balance in this late day? The rapier was certainly one of the more elegant forms in its day.

Great write! Wonderful image of the sword!

I'm impressed that you have left Cat speechless - or almost anyway. Great idea and should be up at the Tate Modern so the next time we go visit you can stand smugly beside it and say - I did this!
Oh, maybe you should suggest an acrostic to her......

I am with every body else, just "wow!"

I love YOUR CREATIVITY, never stop, ok? I love this!!

Are you trying to drive me nuts??? What a waste of paper and what's more...I don't get it! I've never seen anything like this before, it is probably serious stuff...no doubt, an explanation of T

'A blade made to fight in the wars of poetic succession' love the layout, great write, I enjoyed it although it took me a little while to read what you had put. The read font for blood made a nice impression also.

We should all find ourselves so well-armed when we go out against the world words in hand.
