I keep thinking the blue colours are links !! ;-) I judge my poetry by how often I desire to read it. The circular pattern of this piece demands many re-reads which is sweet. If I had a higher IQ i might discern the code of the blue words. Any time you can use the word "Armour" I think that is great. Love that word

[Norma M Sutton]

lol No code. This was a challenge. Each of the blue words was a required word for the poem. Thanks for the review :)

it is almost as if you are describing many facets of the person's life in a most concise manner, which I think works very well

My Dear Writing Friend,
I enjoyed your creative write that followed some guidelines with unusual parameters. I myself would not try such a project until my brain heals up more. I liked the use of the word “den”, here is one of its meanings.

den
noun
• informal a small, comfortable room in a house where a person can pursue an activity in private.

When I can I go home to what I call my man cave, I think I’ll start calling it my den. I just started looking over some of your writes, you are very creative and blessed. As my head allows I will start following you work once more, it has always brought many hours of musing to this old codger while reflecting by my fire in my DEN.

Blessings, Laughing-Bear

Thank you :) I hope you feel better soon.
