Hi Vance
smiles yes you have an abstract way of telling us of what writers' fingers type on the computer wake up our brains from the tiny watts of electricity we receive from out computers so we can express our novel or should I say unique thoughts
The one thing I had was that you didn't break up your thoughts into small paragraphs to make us readers to take time and think about
of what you said, before we continue to read
more of your reflections ( brilliant thoughts)

A very well-written abstract poem. It is the little things that inspire us daily that end up on the paper in ink. Just to let you know the font color on the black background makes it very hard to read.

Hi, Vance;

Such a unique look at the computer screens we use to artistically craft our words.

I loved the details you used such as the molecules of ink.

I don't think I will be able to write anything without these thoughts.

Your Grayness can I suggest for us older people with glasses and eye strain that you don't write a poem with red on red.
But having said that I love your fun words like toggle and mind wobble..
It was fun.
God bless

    Thanks so much kiwijenny for your lovely review and stars and I appreciate your feedback on the font coloration. I was trying to incorporate a reality feel with the poem bug I guess it was a bit more problematic than meaningful. Please stay tuned! HIS GRAYNESS; Vance

This is very creative, and I love the idea of the watts crawling onto the paper, hoping to see what's happening. Writers are always hoping to find something new that will have emotional appeal. The writer can only hope that something will emerge to drive the readers to really get in synch with the writer. Great work with sound in this. The third from last line is a prime example. For more accessibility, use more contrast between the font and the background. It's hard to read. Also, Break it up into stanzas, at least two. The long lines will look less intimidating if you do. judi

    Thanks so much judi, for the great review and stars, and also the tip on the font coloration which has definitely fed back some dismay from other review's. I was trying to be clever in blending the coloration with the circumstance of the poetry which was truly a bad idea, noted by other reviews, so I do thank you so much for the wonderful perspective....as always! Blessings and sincere thanks! HIS GRAYNESS; Vance

This work has reached the exceptional level

Very well said! I love it... The enlighten
Name the of new words! I often receive unfavorable critiques either due to using words that are not within the "normal" scope of knowledge or writing so vividly that the art or image I choose makes it seem as though the poem cannot stand on its own. I love the eloquence with which you have taken a word and encompass it. It's clever, witty and refreshing! Bravo!

That this is abstruct? Yes, I got that all right.
My problem is all the far reaches beyond my little brain
beyond my poem-reader heart. I sigh. And ask, pray tell, what should Isay to this:

the cells of the brain that wobble in hopes that something truly novel will take light and shine upon the waiting screen of constantly stimulated watts, everlastingly driving their readers to catch the vision of what's up? ..OK? got it now??

*Have a laugh and a great weekend.*

Imaginative, whimsical and fun! I enjoyed this original write, dearest Vance.


I like the personification and imagery and tone.

Good flow too, though I would have preferred some line breaks for pause effect. It works fine as a poetic prose paragraph too.

Suggestion: Cap and quotes for the name "What's Up?" Example:


POEMELECTRIKA: tiny watts crawl carefully onto the paper and into the dark rows of ink, hoping to find their big brother: "What's Up?" to enlighten them as to what is happening in the people world of words!




* as they astound the tiny watts(,) unknown to the poet(,) who is constantly fixated upon other forms of more common human energy,

* the waiting screen of constantly(-)stimulated watts, everlastingly driving their readers


*to catch the vision of what's up? ..OK? got it now??


Bit awkward. Suggest a line break instead of ellipses, and caps on the name, and spelling OK as Okay:



to catch the vision of What's Up?

Okay? Got it now??

Yes, got it!


Love,
rd

I like your personification of poetry that sparks the electronic waves in our brains to connect with the poem. The only critique I have is that the red fonts on magenta background makes it very hard to read.
