Well thought out although I

Well thought out although I had to read it a few times to make some of the connections - not sure I got them all even now so i will come back to this later. I liked this - its a little obscure in places- BUT thats a good thing, It makes you read and think. Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

The Un-titled

This piece stands out for two reasons - it seems simple at first glance, so make sure that it's read more than once. The second time is like following neurons as they spark through the mind before finally coming to rest in a concrete thought. I didn't think I would like when I started reading, by three times it just rolls through the process of natural thought. ~ Ronda Oh, and that does mean that I like it!

Thank you...

It was meant to tickle and spark inspriration; word play can be fun, However; there is a deeper meaning & sub text; I'm interested in seeing if people pick up on it, or what thhier own interpretations are. Frost

Hello,

I read it a couple of times and found it had a deeper impact on the second reading. It is emotionally articulate for a (mostly) one word index. Kudos, Cat
