This is clever & hilarious, with a grain of seriousness. First of all, all that scratching out reminds me of how, when young, handwritten notes were the norm . . . but if we wrote something wrong, we'd scratch it out until the paper ripped, practically, becuz we didn't want the other person to be able to see what we almost wrote. Also, the other person would be staring at the scratching-out more than at the legible words, in an effort to figure out what had been omitted from the message. Even tho you youngsters of the digital age can't possibly know these delicious & aborted note-writing rituals of my youth, this hilarious poem brought everything to mind once again. Thanks for breaking up the seriousness on this website.
You probably already know what I am going to say in regards to the format. As to the message, while it is good, try to make it more memorable. There are a thousand other people saying this in a similar way...
MMMMMM I don't know, honestly. Love the words in-between, but I wonder if they 'lose' their beauty? Is this experimenting or just fooling around? What were you thinking about when you wrote this? Very curious to know the motivation, really!

Maybe... my mind is thinking... instead of the MMMMs crossed out, maybe you add some trite, overused words/prases and cross those out, letting the true words shine? Or maybe I had too much red cordial at my nephew's 2nd birthday party...

Yeah let's blame the cordial. What do YOU think of it as an experiment?

Yeah. I just want to write something that's never been done.

Well you've done that! I like your daring, so more experimenting please :)

I understand the unique format, the concept that you are trying to make the important feelings pop out of the ramblings we writers write and cross half of away upon re-write. But I agree with Elise on this one richy... maybe to cross out the real words in between, rather than the MMM's, makes them stand out even more. Cool idea though. Innovation is a great thing. The sentiment is very sweet, lucky girl..
