| = the act | Marius Surleac [25.Feb.09 19:54] |
| I like this poem for its colour and sound that can be found and imagine when reading it. I like the calmness of the frames but also the fractal-like multiplication of that "someone watching you from inside". I feel some surrealist breeze here, as well as some impressionist stances. Well done my friend! Cheers, Marius | |

| ...Marius and sometimes, in art and life, it's difficult to distinguish between "dream" and "reality." My ambition here was to contribute to that confusion and to fool around a bit with a certain Mr. Freud. Thanks a lot for your generous comment! Cheers from Willy | |
| = everything | raj thampi [25.Feb.09 21:17] |
| May be I don't understand many of the poems over here, but I did understand that "someone watching you from inside". If I were you, writing this poem, I would had limited the entire poem within that one line, which says everything else, whatever you had with the entire poem. Feeling blessed, the crawling cockroch...everything. | |
| = This comment makes me wonder... | John Willy Kopperud [25.Feb.09 22:44] |
| ...if you have ever reflected upon the use of repetition. angle and mirrors in poetry. Cheers from Willy | |
| = Still? | raj thampi [26.Feb.09 07:05] |
| Ah true. I had bailed myself in the beginning itself. I felt the hearth of your entire poem consolidated within that one specific line, and I made my point. Cheers Willy. | |
| = Now I get you. | John Willy Kopperud [26.Feb.09 12:25] |
| Originally, upon reading your comment I was a bit in the dark as to what you wanted to say. Thanks a lot for your comment, Raj! Cheeers from Willy | |
| = Zoom in, zoom out | Simona Sumanaru [02.Mar.09 20:45] |
| O, the life of possibilities! Simultaneous personal growth: struggling up that hill for the grand mansion, and taking the town's poorer quarters right with you. What a beautiful dream that'd be. Great, Willy. | |

| = Zoom indeed, Simona... | John Willy Kopperud [02.Mar.09 20:46] |
| ...and also the self mirrored in an existential way, or maybe the picture cards, kings, queens and jacks offer a useful metaphor here. - The self turned upside down by this authors point of view. Thanks a lot for your kind comment! Cheers from Willy | |
| = last | felix nicolau [08.Mar.09 22:23] |
| just nice and neat, willy. but the last line i would give it away. it simply creaks:) | |
| = That's a piece of good advice, Felix... | John Willy Kopperud [08.Mar.09 23:41] |
| ...and I'll follow it up. The poem is clearly better for it. That line was unneccessary. Thanks a lot! Cheers from Willy | |
