Then how much time for the authors' feedback?

:grin: Guys! :roll:

I've had a re-think. I think the contrast is just fine reflecting the change in life circumstances. 1. The darkness of the claustrophobic setting, dep...

This is becoming quite absurd. We're going way off-topic. But this is a reminder of the conversation: You agreed with @"Tobias" that there was a Dutch...

Good to know!

Given there is a colour connection to 30 countries, why focus on the Dutch?

Not all of us. But grateful to the ones who led the way :sparkle:

How so?

Ooops, sorry. Massive blunder :yikes: Forgive me? :pray:

Oh God, I've had to go look again. I'm getting a severe headache. Thanks very much :groan: This is what was written: It seems to be The Other, who is ...

Absolutely :up: The author does enjoy The Wild Ride of The Sports Car :cool: It wisnae me :scream:

I didn't know that. But what's the Dutch connection to the story? Other than you think it is double Dutch? Or written by a Dutchman? Oh, aren't you Du...

Ah, OK. I understand now. It's a different kind of story with mixed, interconnected perspectives. Do you know how many flags are red, white and blue? ...

So, you didn't get tied in knots then. And you don't worry about being lost. That doesn't sound so very weird to me :up: But you still didn't answer m...

Good comment. You've done more than I have. You read it. I've had a quick look but I'm tired and it's too long...sorry. As yet, I don't feel I can cas...

The Sports Car The luxury Lamborghini - bought with inherited money. A comfort and compensation for Paul's loss, the 'unlucky' death of his Mum. I fou...

You read it because it was about more than a stick of deodorant! :up:

Yes. I've read this weird fairytale a few times now. The transition points aren't clear. It is confusing. Perhaps @"javi2541997" or someone who even h...

Yes, it can be about 'taste' but also how a person approaches and evaluates a poem. There can be more focus on form, rules and technicalities compared...

Any further comments on my response? Just curious...

Sunrise Reading this, gives me a similar sensation to the poem Saying Nothing. Both poems have had a strange but welcome effect on my mind. A transfer...

This. Saying Nothing. Is bliss. :pray: :heart: :sparkle:

OK, I've been hypnotised by youtube but still don't see the Light. Now to the poem: An immediate sense of a sudden awakening into a surreal dream of a...

Protennoia First I've heard of this. So, I need to go away, think and listen to this, perhaps, to make some sense of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Seasonal and colourful flowers cut for bouquets or flower-arranging. The exclamation mark makes me wanna go 'YAY' but some go deep with a 'NAY. OK. Wh...

The temptation is strong but your willpower will overcome :strong:

:lol: Tell me it ain't so. I have 2 and a half definites but I'm not sharing just yet. Do you even know the meaning of patience? :roll:

Isn't that about when the Guessing Game used to kick off, maybe a bit later ? Fun, even if I only ever got one or two right...and it does distract fro...

Yes, I seem to remember you have specific eye problems. I hope you're not still reading on a small phone screen. That's got to be a struggle and hurt....

Thanks :up: I don't know much about poetry or its various rules. So, I appreciate your quick adjustments - perhaps not always improvements, as you say...

Your comments are excellent; thoughtful, succinct and to the point. I don't really give reviews as such. My comments come as I engage with the text; t...

So what improvements would you make?

this little boy With no capitals. Is that a stylistic choice in keeping with being free from tradition? Or was the writer just too damned tired to be ...

You wrote it? Nah. Your poetic touch is more delicate and sensual. I would imagine :flower:

Deodorant Not the most attractive of titles but it made me laugh. It too reminds me of Mum. Decades ago, I visited the luxurious and expensive Harrods...

Ah well, I varied (sorry!)...to try and see other points of view. To begin with, it was just a note of the discrepancy from last year to this. I didn'...

I am in no particular 'camp' with any of you guys :roll: I think I said it best when I suggested (if 3 options were necessary): Fuckin' Yay Fuckin' K ...

:lol: What can I say? I can't puzzle over gaps? :chin:

Perhaps but that's what I like about it! It leaves room for the imagination...I enjoy a puzzle!

A fantastic first sentence. Why would any buyer not understand a dress? Because it is abstract in the way an idea exists in the mind of the maker. A c...

I know you do. As do I yours. And others too. Even better if they were in the right place *sighs*

This and previous replies really and truly need to be copied and pasted to the relevant thread To further understanding and appreciation. To provide m...

We should really talk about this in the poem's discussion thread. But given that we are now here... I think you did more than perceive the moment and ...

It is fascinating. I remember @"Nils Loc"'s images in @"hypericin"'s 'Three Shittyass Ghosts': He wrote: Sheer brilliance :fire: Is that how you inter...

:smile: So, how is your reading coming along? Getting there...?

It's @"180 Proof" if you want to catch his attention.

I don't see the creativity that exists in fiction or in philosophy (even the rational, abstract kind) as being in opposition when it comes to explorin...

Does this help? From @"180 Proof" earlier:

So very true. This event offers an opportunity to recognise other ways of seeing and being. Reading things we are not usually open to, to get over our...

A simpatico, 'rogue' cop who took control of the situation. Justice served, or not. A bit 'iffy'...
