Author notes

I found a place in my computer where all my IM conversations were stored...After realizing that some of them had a poetic flow to them...This is the product....And I erased the rest of the IM's... to destroy the evidence! And told the computer to stop saving them...

wadda ya think

    Eh, it was ok. I didn't really like the whole IM conversation theme.

    I'd have to agree with Dave

    Though it is a thoughtful concept, I think it's very strictly limited to your own perception.
    However, I did percieve a tone of forgotteness, or sense of being ignored throughout the lines.
    That may be my interpretation, though, and not your intent.

    However, it is intricate in its own way, and has a design I have not until now seen.

    Also, you did hit every category on the head. I enjoy that, because some people don't know what they're writing.

    Bravo,

    -Regards, Alex

    tone: 4, form: 5.

    hey algoressister

    this is a famous method used by William Burroughs who wrote his book Naked Lunch this way, your poem and the book are a bit too cryptic for me, altough it did set a mood.
