    Lovely work, again, Wayne. Unfortunately, I have to say that there were minor errors in wording. Still, a delightful and challenging typographical experience. Best wishes.

    Hmmmm, well, this really took away for me the flow of reading a piece, but hats off to you for a very creative layout

    This is marvellous.... although I had to look very careful how I could read this poem correctly. But I must say this is very artistic. You did a great job here. Anna.

    You are ajoy to read - I love the word art and the way it adds to this piece. You are just entrancing me more and more and I feel this piece is another testimony to a pen filled with life overflowing. Well done fellow poet. Maybe one day I will reach these heights again.
