Very clever John. These are not easy to do. I have done a couple of basic concrete ones but your one and designs like this are far more artistic. Hugs, Emilia : )

Thank you so much my sweet friend, your thoughts mean much to me. This shape was inspired by a beautiful pink rose, actually a thornless rose I believe. All my best. John

So clever, John. I have good ideas but just can't master the technological skills!

Thank you, Wendy, it takes a bit of patience. I believe I gave up more than a few cuss words along the way. All the best. John

very clever one you came up with gosh, i am like caycay: clueless . anyway, I have an idea that is not all that great but it will go up in a few days!

I have attempted 3 different shapes, have 3 times gone cross-eyed and in each case I came close to cussing. These forms don't hold still, don't cooperate, so I know it was your effort that created such a beautiful rose of softness with its ironic hard and sharp thorn. Great job. Wish I could think of a form for, "quitting". Enjoyed. All the best ... CayCay

One must watch out for those thorns, beyond the beauty of the Rose. You have captured this perfectly John. It is amazing how the imagination can take words, and then shape them upon the page. And so beautifully too. :) Brandy

Thank you for your thoughts, Brandy, and then the words and shapes on the page create an image in someone else's mind. Non verbal communication. I appreciate you dear friend! John

Awesome! You have quite a creative talent for artwork, John. I can't do these shape poems at all. Wishing you high honors in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you, Carolyn. I had actually drawn this a while ago for someone on her birthday; when I decided to put it in the contest I changed the word from pink to thorns to add a little irony. John
