No matter what was messed up when it was put on the site, this is awesome. Really unique - good work!

On the contrary, I thought the formatting to add to the piece (even if it was not your intended layout). I still love it! I would be delighted if you looked at some of my poems, though they're written in a standard (boring) format.

Thank you. The website messed up some of the formatting. However, this is meant to be a visual poem, where the arrangment of the letters adds to the meaning of the poem. It was inspired by ee cummings, who almost invented the concept. But on the website it turned out funny.

I found this to be a very creative and beautiful poem. The format is a bit strange (which may be worth a 'meh') but it is still very interesting to read. I applaud your work.
