'Big Deep'
alanwgraham,
This was a blast! It was like a jigsaw puzzle or a scrabble game. All of the letters which were like a foundation or a forest of letters held the seeds of your poem which then grew within it. Within it's rich soil we can find word swords to impale nuggets of truth or spades to bury secrets in the forest of deceit.' Lovely work pointing out the beauty of revealing the truth as best we can.
Blessings,
Kathy

Thanks Kathy for taking the time to unearth and decipher this early poem. It was an experiment and I'm pleased that you took something from it. It's great in our cafe that we can support each other like this.
Take care,
Alan

Alan,
your above work was and is so fun, fun and serious at the same time. It was a analytical treasure. I'm with you in regard to the edification of being able to read and think with other WC writers and I am glad your here!
Blessings,
Kathy

Man, this really inspires me to keep throwing one word in my writings...

Gerund...

...onomatopoeia...

...imperative...

...and...

...adjective.

OK, so you DO know how it feels to read your stuff sometimes! *smile* . . . Altho I'm trying to support you in positive ways, I have to confess, this is what I feel like sometimes, reading your stuff (not intended to make us dig this deep). In this case, I dare say you ask too much. I didn't find enuf intelligible stuff to cobble together a message . . . but it's an imaginative idea. Maybe a little more meaningful & a little less noise?

[alanwgraham]

This was a bit of a punt! It wasn't meant to be the monkey on the typewriter but did you spot the buried message? - I put it in italics to make it slightly easier!
Thanks for feedback and support!
Regards, Alan

I think I got the buried message . . . but it started out kinda abruptly, so I thought I might've missed something that came before "but words are swords" . . .

[alanwgraham]

Sorry to waste your time with this nonsense! Sometimes I get a bit carried away and try to be a bit too clever for my own good. I spent yesterday at an art exhibition of the best new art graduates (way out!) and maybe some of it rubbed off.
Ta again,
Alan

[barleygirl]

Your message really stands out much better now. Sometimes the little tweaks can make a big difference.

Thanks for your help with this!
