Wowers! This was riveting in the fascination of the form, drawing me to read it carefully to decipher. The copy cat lost, it appears. Awesome with excellent imagery and an interesting tale. I enjoyed it. Fantastic.
Sketchbook was blessed and now this site is honoured to be able to publish such an innovative work of yours Karin.Wow! Simply fabulous!
well this is indeed innovative... clever concept and style, well presented :)
its so original, creative, innovative, fun, almost like solving a riddle. Karin you are full of surprises, one's who say we have no poetic talent left here on poetfreak, perhaps haven't read your poetry. I am going to read this out to my grand daughter. thanks
1 man + 1 woman = not 2 but 3 or 4! Is it so in innovation of poetry too?
Poor 22, looks like 11 is set 4 a d8 - 'laid on egghell's bits...' - how painful - it doesn't look like 11 has safe 6 in mind! lol Huge fun, Karin - an eggshellent piece of poetry!
love this karin innovative and simply brillant
Creative piece, Karin...demands a decode dictionary! Much enjoyed

Interesting and creative write Karin, I enjoyed it.
Whew.am getting cross eyed reading this.Enjoyed 11 11
Frankly I was at a loss at first, I was never really good at math and stats either: P, so I was perplexed and confused, .. But latter part of the poem was really fun to read though, specially loved the second last stanza. “1 1 sed O Mr R i luv u 2 u cock a doodle do 4 me”
