This is good, and I'm sorry if I don't give you a long and nice review. I mean, you've reviewed most of my haikus, thank you, so I should review this eh? Well, I like it. Very good description. Kaleidoscope... Did you get the shade part from me? No? Well that was good also... Man.. Well thanks, and I don't live in the philipinnes k?

You've been judged by the darkness! _

Wow. Wonderful and deep, another astonishing piece. I like the experimentation with the form, but most of all I like the imagery. The way you interweave different metaphors, especially in that synaethesia "kaleidoscopic noise", linking vision and sound. The concept of painting on a blank canvas, compared to the creation and formation of life (the "you" could be God though it could also be another person) is expressed beautifully here and the images you use, such as "grazing", show how important it is whose brush touches a canvas in what way, what an influence this has on the canvas, for good or for ill ("broken"). Wonderful poem.

I like the experimentation. I love Renga! By the way, about your "Robins" poems...it's the state bird of my home state, Wisconsin. If you want a Renga partner, let me know.

Suddenly,—words fail,

Shattered shards with sharp edges,

Heart's illusions slice,—

Fragmentary bits,

Dispossesed coherencies,

Puzzles without assembly,

Once framed faces of our love,

In wrought silver frames,

Broken,—our lust shames.

p.s. that word, broken,—in italix, provoked this little ramble (o, it's supposed to be a renga!) manuel.

I like the experimentation in form. This really encompasses the blank slate feeling so well. Very well written. Great form work.

'Kaleidoscopic noise'... how did you come up with these unique, unsual but nonetheless wonderfully descriptive adjectives? whatever your writing is, i find that it is never cliched :)
