Johnny Rhinem November 19, 2013 at 5:49 AM † Yeap, That Would Pretty Much Sum Up My World As Life. Although, I Myself Also Have Noticed One Particular Tumbleweed Which I Have Passed Everyday Now For A Few Weeks Or So ˜ As Your Darker Brush It Seems Painted; Yes, Time Eventually Crumbled His Rolling Stone ˜ Wonderfully Spoken And Love The Emphasis In Layout I Believe ˜ Thank You For Your Kind Visit And As Always, Happy Holidays Over There In Her United Kingdom ˜ Love John Anna-Marie Docherty November 20, 2013 at 5:13 AM Smiles, thank you for your thoughts. Glad you like the layout! Kindest thoughts and wishes...

Harry Horsman October 14, 2013 at 11:29 AM i don't feel we see enough shape poetry,, this is excellent just love it... Anna-Marie Docherty October 16, 2013 at 11:57 AM Thanks Harry, glad you like. I agree we dont see enough shape poetry here but do wonder if it's down to the site settings - as even this did nto display in the manner I originally intended and I had to go back in to make it work... Cheers for your thoughts...

Andrea Dietrich August 16, 2013 at 10:06 PM hey now that is a very cool PATTERNED poem. I had to take a second look at the bobbing line, but i love how that word was made alive and not just "written." I think this will do really well if it's for that one contest!! Anna-Marie Docherty August 17, 2013 at 2:48 AM Hi Andrea, thanks for your thoughts. I've tried playing with this one for ages but can't get the soup page to display it as I originally write it where through spacing you can work out the bobbing along bit - it just resets and pulls it all together when I save... Never mind, at least you worked it out! Must check out the contests if I get a few minutes quiet! Have a great weekend.
