I like the photo and the words. There was a movie once with blow-up doll. I like that one too. I like the way you use the words to create a entertaining poem.

There is a brilliance in the fragments of letters and thoughts... it's as if a new world of words opens up, shaded in vibrant colors of life... Filled with courage and introspective dances...

[Sagar Waingankar]

Beauty when it hardly means to be mean!

My dear Allen,
What a grand (my mom's word) surprise! I have read Cummings on many occasions and this is a worthy contriubution to the style. And yes, to care or not to care on thoughts and feelings of others towards us - here you make a wonderful case for individuality, both in 'life' and in 'poem structure.'
Much love,
Rosa -x-
PS - I have not forgotten your book!

[Raven Starhawk]

Very crafty I must say but a sound quality is what ultimately makes this outstanding. You have a vivid imagination. Very well formed.
