You and I are a Dichotomy
A soliloquy9 total reviews
Comment from Esther Brown
So very profound and clever. I read it out loud and it flows, despite my lack of French. Relevant and irreverent, rich and rascally. Such a twisted delightful sense of fun in your writing. I need clarification about your personalities and their language skills. One took French and one Pig Latin? Well done. Esther

Thanks for the comment. I am like a Virgin Cuba Libre without the booze.
Comment from Alexandra Trovato
I understand this and it is thought provoking and clever. I think the cat image matches, purrfectly. You wrote it so we can perk in. I enjoyed reviewing this.
Best wishes,
Alex

I seem to be finding a fair share of acorns for a 'blind' writer

Cool. :)
Comment from Wayne Fowler
I understand the exchange, but its description defies me.
A soliloquy, huh? Sounds an awful lot like two guys talking.
Good luck in the contest.

It was one person with twin identities
What?
You never speak with yourself?

Not in a rational voice or a decipherable tone. (smiley face here)
Comment from Pam (respa)
-I like your image, title, and soliloquy.
-You might like to know that I
am retired from teaching high school English,
and you wrote a very good soliloquy.
-I like your style and appreciate your notes.
-A very good opening lines, and a good
contrast in the next section about you and me.
-I like your question about having a triumvirate.
-A very good follow up to that, getting our
attention, as well with "Non!..."
-Very good closing lines.
-Very well done; I hope you do well in the contest.

and my fate is in the hands of the Fanstorians, however that said my social circle is small and that is a small asset to predict.
Your review was wonderful. Thank you.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This proves the saying, (two is company, three's a crowd). This is a fun and clever dialogue here and I loved the references to Shakespeare as it gave this post some credence, much enjoyed, love Dolly x x x

Oops. My bad. There was some credence? Oh-oh! That was not intended, but then the end is always a surprise to me, too. It must have been the pronoun with civility. :-O
Thank you.
Comment from Iza Deleanu
I am all for a fun story about cats, even if I have no clue what that new genre is:) "To be or not to be, is but one question; yet if I am to be, will I be you or me?" Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings and the contest.

No cat story herein. The story is about two personalities in one human body talking to one another as that is the definition of soliloquy. The cats are in the shape of yin and yang.
Thanks for the review.
Comment from Michael Ludwinder
Your piece is such a fun read! I love the way you include historical references. I thought the conversation was wonderful and also funny. The back and forth dialogue keeps things lively. Keep up the creative work!

Ok. Thanks. I'll try to keep things interesting but the eresults depend which of the two characters that make me up decide to take the lead.
One is a wordsmith, supposedly, whereas the other is a clown.
Comment from Elle Wilde
The title of the poem and the picture chosen made an impact on this reader. I scrolled down to read your comments to better understand the intent, as I found it a little confusing at first. Then when I re-read the story, it hit home and I also enjoyed the Dupree reference. My favorite line was "whereas you retain an august gentility." Nothing to offer except to maybe have chosen a more "old-timey" font to call out the Shakespearean theme you were going for.

Another font... perhaps, but the depth of selection on FS is weak.
You must not have liked it too much - four stars? Okay. So be it!
Any review is better than none.
Thanks.

Hmm, it an interesting bit on talking one's inner self. The writing and structure are all good. This contest presents a new challenge and I se you dove into this with an angle on philosophy. Smart choice.

If I had known It would have turned out different but the way my mind operates it like having four on the floor, shifting gears as the minnd revs up. Thank you.
