I mean ... I've seen people think "outside the box" but this is next level. I'm not even sure how I'm supposed to read this (that's how scrambled you got me!). The music accompaniment was a nice touch ... they play off each other.

This is an artistic-musical coup-de-grace to close the year, Richard. Superb! Thank you, and l will listen again and again! I've heard/seen the composition performed live; it's brilliant!... Your whole production is a FAVE for me! Thank you! ~ Gershon

Gershon, Thank you for that wonderful end of the decade comment too. I'm a little embarrassed to admit I don't know this music. It just seemed to fit with my poem's message. -Richard

I was looking at it thinking "scrabbled heart" not scrambled heart. But that works too. I do not do these; they are way too HARD for my brain to figure out. Nice one!

Caren, Thank you for the comment. Don't you know that all so in love are scrambled? Left scrabbled in a triple word game. -Richard
