First, hello Sally James, I'm sorry to muddle everybody but you've got
another Sally in the game. Sally Evans. Not to confuse everybody I'll put
Sevans on my emails. If I remember. Anyway, nobody knows if I'll stay around
on this group...not even me. It looks interesting ut time consuming.
Bob I liked your violin poem up to a point. To me a voilin is all shape,
visually anyway so I was worried about the word heart, which brings in a
highly conflicting shape. I wrote something rather like this once so I'll
quote from it: the magic violin, ....gives life to/ a box that wants to
sing/.... shows an alternative construction of the violin as a box -
in your cased violin, a box in a box. And is it white when it's dark? That's
presumably deliberate. The velvety darkness in the box is expressive:
doesn't white jar with this too much?
