[An owl on the moon]

Everything about your words speak a deeply moving music... the rhythm.. the flow.. the placed pieces of thought drifting down... like echoes of the mind's ripples... So powerfully spoken, Allen!

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

Beautiful pontificating about nature and death! I love how you made a unique metaphor about those two topics. And playing around with the font and forming picture with typecast letters was a brilliant idea.

[Becky C Strukamp]

Your arrangement is over the top crazy good!! You have mastered well the art of creating amazing poetry. And the pic is beautiful. Love it.

[Ruth]

Good to see you hon, this stole my heart - wonderful movement within this ♥

[Robbie~xoxo~]

WOW! This is a torrid flood of words... each line captures a unique vision of lust, love, anguish...humanity...death...

It was as if a rebirth was happening...

Amazing write, Allen!~xoxo~

very well done. The words are like the waves.. carrying them in and out with the natural rise and fall of life. Nice job.

[Leslie Philibert]

Delighted to read Allen again, who writes excellent autobiograhical prose too. This plays with fonts and broken words, lots of great ideas here, excellent.

[A. Amos]
