^ What,
I have been asked,
can inspire me? An
easy simple answer does
not reside here or
there. It is ever
elusive and to catch a
quandary that is a mission
I would like to
share. Gather the thoughts of
similar ideals facts to arouse, to
entice and to stimulate. Bring them
together, even the minute details.
Then offer
them up and try to educate. Finding
the answer is not difficult to
arrange, wisdom is a gift
offered to all whoo
truly seek. Ignorance is
rampant and unwilling to
change. The easy way
is preferred for
the weak.
So find what
you will in this
poem of mine, cherish
the exotic, wild
and repetitively mundane. My hope is
that you will be delighted
this time,
and not
be completely
bored out
of your
brain!

I'm sorry hun, I'm sure this is a really great poem, but I cannot read it quite that well, I can see the bird picture made by your words, but I must be able to read it, if you could message me or something to describe your poem, or send me your poem in a message that would be alright.

This is VERY creative. Truly exotic as you said. At first I was a little annoyed about how the words were arranged in such strange positions until I realized that they formed the shape of an owl. I thought it was cool. Not to mention the poem aroused my interest.
Good work! -

Dear mariananda,
Your words of praise for the majestic owl sound out a truth and search for wisdom we should all seek.
I thank you for your praise in this figural poem. It was my priveledge to enter your contest and send my best wishes.
The owl is a wonderful symbol to uphold.

dear intanglio,
thank you so much for participating in the contest.
your poem is a work of art - I have rarely seen anything so stunning. your words are wise, faithful to the quality of WISDOM which is represented by the OWL.
although this is a contest for my husband, every poem which has come in until now has touched me personally and contained a message for me as well.
I thank you for your gift to jean-marc. and your gift to me was the owl. she is my totem-animal in the native american tradition. I honor her for her gift of "seeing in the dark".
please receive my gratitude for your masterpiece.
and good luck in the contest.

Dear StormGoddess,
Thanks for checking out the wise old owl. Glad she won't fly away from me! I appreciate your compliment.
Tang -
Wow Tang! Another artistic beauty. She is amazing, and the words flow perfectly. Great job with this. I still stand in awe, jaw dropped to the floor.
Good luck in the contest

Dear Night Valkyrie,
Your words are precious to me, (crosses fingers) I hope that they don't - because then it would put me in competition with computers. And they beat me at chess. Thank you so much.
Tang -
Dear ckwriter69,
Glad you liked the owl, maybe he can impart to me more wisdom as I seek to find the next figural. Thanks so much for your compliment.
Tang -
You know, if they had a software program that could take words you written and make them into some kind of figure, I STILL wouldn't be able to come up with something so beautiful and amazing. Your writing truly leaves me speechless. It's not just a horde of words thrown together, as I often feel mine are. But a masterpiece of art. Anyone that tells you other is foolish. Incredible Sir Tang, just incredible. Good luck.

excellent
Intanglio,Wow I'm so impressed with this poem and your others. It is hard enough figuring out rhymes in the standard format let alone trying to squeeze them into a figural. Simply amazing. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. -
you are really good at this that owl is amazing! great work keep it up
-
thanks tang, lol, and yes, I am still mulling the vulture contest around, although I really did do a nature type of study on a pair of them that were in my canyon last summer, although that has no humor, but I shall seeeeeeeeeee
-
Dear hoodoolover,
Owls are very dear to you because you are a very wise lady. An appropriate bird to be our favorite. (Although that Vulture contest is still open)
Thanks for your very kind words.
Tang -
Excellent piece tang, the owl is very dear to me, and you have done it justice with your figural, now I feel I must go read more of your stuff
-
Dear catz,
I enjoy bringing a bit of wisdom into my poetry, and so this one was an absolute delight to create. The symbolism of the wise old owl! Thank you my dear.
Tang -
My dearest Geisha dutch2lips,
Thank you for your praise I am delighted once again that you have enjoyed my figural poem.
My love to you,
Tang

How bleak and useless am I compared to thine works of pure art, each picture precisely woven with your carefully chosen words flowing into this!
Bored? NEVER!!!
love you Tang!
