Dearly Beloved

Rating: 5 votes, 5.00 average.
I am reading Lolita right now, and there was this scene in which a bunch of letters became scattered together and Humbert was reading bits of snatches of phrahses and words from the varrious different letters, which gave me the idea. I wanted to try and write a poem that sort of replicated the feeling of bits and peices of letters which had been jumbled together.

    I think you did an absolutely marvelous job, Dark. This is just brilliant. I mean, to me it reads just like a jumble of letters left lying on the floor. They even have sort of different voices and tones. I adore the way you used typography to help you achieve this affect.

    Brava, lady who lives in the heart of darkness!
