Comments : The shape of things

    I really love this, Michael! I'm not sure about why there is no punctuation, however, but I gotta say that lack of punctuation was actually the reason why it flows really well somehow.
    I'd like to know whether there is some intentional syllable count to this so that in the end there is a visual shape for the poem, or is it just the way you wanted it to flow/look?

    Wonderful piece!
    Write on

      Thank you Nee
      Because of the story of the poem I just wanted to have shape with it. I first was shaping it as an upside down 'heart' as I felt that my story didn't end with love in the end. If that makes sense.. but I just ended up liking the shape :)
      Thank you for your lovely comments x

    Well I like the shape of this thing Michael! Lol. The lack of punctuation here is actually quite clever, as it forced me to read it more carefully. But also .... it speaks volumes in very few words of 'sizing someone up' ... that initial few glances of attraction. Fab write! :-) x
