A beautiful flight of imagination. Not unlike the Arabian Nights. Its like a concrete visual poem, vibrating with every thing positive.

I LOVELOVELOVE visual poetry, and this is one of the finest I've seen! Perfect combination of oral and ocular!!

I truly enjoy poems that say so much with so little words. You capture it fabulously.

This poem is sensorially amazing at every level...I cannot add further to that which has been said except "well done"...:)

This is quite an inventation, Anne. I rather like the cosmic feel and the vaporizing visual effect. Good stuff! Pe4ce...
