[arbitrary jane]

somehow you've made this read like a canvas that's been painted with music. this part right here:

bright light night neonspirit firewalker

jack straightup and nevernever rules

no to no not to make her mistake her or try to break her

that part gets a hearty 'mmmmmm....'

you know: i swear i saw that person walking up the street yesterday.
i swear it was her!

[A.A.Romanczuk]

I taste the city and a rhythmic melody

[Alicante lullaby]

chewy...i love its flavour

[patricia]

loved all this Robin, but especially the bits about Rome.

Favourite lines...and her crumpled bed that consumates her day
another day her way day.

I love the melody in your carousel of words again, you let the child spin within... sametime weep the cats painful moments, into the truth almost of a as a well-preserved visual strip a dream came into a reality (to) show... Good work.

[Desert Dreamer]

Playful fun with words, love the combination of words to make new ones...reads like a song...with a song you have created a woman, or with a woman you have created a song.

[FireWoman]

Quite a strong woman, I love her! This would make an incredible song ;)

[Ariel B.]

I love this. The first two lines made me want to never stop reading, and then the last two words lifted me out so fittingly, sad it was over, but satisfied anyhow.

[Fran Marie]

a playful piece and enjoyable read with a great rhythm, nice worK!

[Jaweena...Eileen Quinta..]

Love it! It is fun just reading this outloud. English is my second language so I get such a kick out of playing with words. Language can open up such a broad scope of understanding and comprehension of the world around you. Eliciting so many different emotions..like music. LOVED THIS-my talented Robin!
