The lines of X’s remind me of human creatures forming lines!
those obsessive X’s underscore the statement well
Nice! I’ve yet to do an erasure that satisfies me. Glad you’re doing it.
What text were you working from?
Amazing and interesting use of form!
Great innovative form! You always step outside the box!
So true. Interesting how the use of Xs rather than marking out the unused words gave it more depth of meaning.
The Xs make me think of flying creatures. I had a visual of cranes while reading!
Such an artistic way of depicting the erased words! Love it!
Yes, I’d like to know… are you using just one text for this series or jumping about? I don’t like the x’s as much as the actual text with the pen scratches… it’s the visual artist in me. Something so immediate about seeing the word removal. However… brilliant poem, owl.
All the above. I’d like to know your source, too.
Love it!
