HI, If I had 10 stars i would have given them to you. I usually am scared of horror pictures and stories, (although old I am)but this formation, made it to the top, loved it enjoyed reading it, and I give the ok to write more.The poem sounded great to me. Good luck, I will listen to the music. Hugs Terry

I enjoyed the piece Dean but my eyes had a very hard time finding the words over the picture (sorry since I know you worked hard) perhaps younger eyes might work better...
Thanks for takin us on a trip in your imagination

Thanks for the feedback, Cookie333. That was the most difficult part of constructing the whole thing, making it "readable" I am sorry you had trouble with it. My eyes are horrible, & I can read it. I assumed since that were so, no one would have problems with it. I apologize...

Isn't having a great imagination something? I love the places where my imagination takes me. I don't travel to spooky places like you do.

Ah-h-h, but you should go there, at least once in a while, David. You have to have darkness before you can ever begin to see the stars...
Thanks for the positive feedback-

If I go there, I may become lost in my minds

Loved the last part which is the essence of all poets...their imagination.
Your rhyme scheme was magnificient and it flowed so nicely.
I would expect nothing less

Sounds to me like there is evil technology involved in this poem. LOL. I can hardly use the advanced editor on this site. I will read and enjoy your work, but it's a safe bet I won't be doing it. Nicely done.

Hah, well, you could give it a go, Gretchen, it is quite a challenge.
I do appreciate the fact that you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much.

I got a sudden chill even at the description - I'll take you there. brother where's he going with this? Nice music background. Eery mysterious sounds.; I would say this is a rhyming couplet. You might check it out on clicking on info, then click on types of poetry

Thanks, Lulube, and you're absolutely right, it is a rhyming couplet. I appreciate you checking it out for me and giving me your view point. I needed feedback on this one!

Comment from Louise Michelle
Hi Dean,
I love the layout. Quite frankly, I don't think I'd enjoy taking a ride in your imagination - it would scare the bejeepers out of me, lol. Your idea of mystic wonderment cracks me up. I think I'd prefer angels with blue crystal wings to flying dragons.
Hugs,
Lou

Ah, you'd be all right there, Lou. You just have to be able to run, really, REALLY fast, LOL!
Thanks for that great review, my friend!
Comment from elchupakabra
The effort you took to create the overall aesthetic of this piece is quite apparent, even without the authors notes. In terms of just the work itself, I enjoyed the rhyming couplets that made great use of assonance like with blue you and hiss kiss. Everything is working copastetically; the music, illustration and poem all play well off eachother. Great work overall, thank you for sharing.

Hah, you have me pegged, Angie. I scare the crap out of all of my nieces and nephews, and anyone else who I can get close enough to, LOL...
Thanks for the wonderful review!

Dean
As ever, I love all your work (and have missed reading it whilst on holiday) Kudos for your efforts to try to come out of your comfort zone for this one. Did I like it? Yes. Do I like your previous style more?. Honestly, Yes. However one again you completely mastered the creepy feel to it with the images and audio choices. Top notch as usual. I think it's just because i am not used to reading this style as much as you are writing in it. What did you think of it after you had written it?
All the best

I was very happy with it when I finally had it tweaked right where I wanted it. Think of it as a series of graphic novels, only in poetic formula. That's the basic idea of a 'pictapoem'. To tell a story, or poem, in pictures and prose...
I appreciate the feedback on this "style", headingly. If it's not well accepted, I'll stop doing it all together.
