Oh, Sherry. When someone's willing to publish, then I'd say let it go. You've got two opinions, and it isn't as if the words that would be replaced hang the entire poem in the balance.
I meant that the words are not as UNIQUE since the whole of it is so special. Also, I am reconsidering my suggestion since this is more along the lines of visual art with word play as an enhancer rather than word play with the graphic secondary.
Ride with it. And congratulations on another published! (delete?) (reply?

Remember on this one when you told me to change three words
Richness, delight, and reflections ? And I told you richness I could use prosperity and delight glee ? Only thing Cookie dear is the words can't be just anything it means in subsuite. Cause the words must line up to in place. Is it really bad ? If I didn 't change it? I mean it only took several hours to do not like I can just go in and edit this one like a regular poem I have to like retype it all out again. I will change it but I really need to know if its okay.......Thank you. Did you edit the one I wrote you? Did it mean anything? Sherry

This one was my hardest it took a few hours lol and yes lots of patience LOL!! I finaly mastered the snowman. LOL but it took hours the other two wasn't has hard but glad you liked it. I was given a comment of changing a few of my words on this. Like richness, reflections, delight, although they are a more advanced poet and educated. Those words to me don't seem bad choices....But I guess because they are over used?
So I thought richness to properity delight to glee and just keep reflections. Thing is to words must all line up even.
Not all words would work with the snowman. Thank you

Outstanding shape poem!
This really put a smile to my face. I can see the snowman so well out of this. I figured only after a deeper look that those were his boots on the last two lines of the poem. Lovely background as well. This one definitely has alot of patience and effort put into making it and I appreciate and admire your talent at this. You are the Concrete Poetry Queen! I admire the use of @@ for eyes and the use of ** as well. If you ever publish a shape poetry book, Ma'am, please let me know. I would absolutely love to have a copy!
Looking forward
