Performer (#2 pencil)

The Poetry Scene in the Valley of the Sun is alive and well, and I'm proud to be part of it. Proud also to be breaking new ground in Acrostic Poetry. Here I make a Triple Acrostic at maximum minimality: 21 words, of which 3 are neologisms.

It bothers me that the "Exit" sign figures so prominently. I like the whole thing but just questioning the reason behind the sign. Are you waiting for someone to "pull the plug" on your performance?

Thanks for the input, Folks. Dick, bless you. Terry, you're not going to find Platformity, Ecstagony or Riskanthemums in any dictionary; just think of them as piggybacks of Platform and Enormity, Ecstasy and Agony, and Risk and Chrysanthemum. Bamagran, there is a dilemma with the Exit sign. Speaking as a former Safety Equipment guy, Exit signs must be prominently lit so people can find them easily. That in my picture everyone but the performer is facing directly AWAY from the Exit sign may be a comfort. Everyone is choosing to stay . . .

love this classic clay. and thanks, A-gain!, for sending me to the dictionary. now I realize I’m a fan of neogisms, penning my own as well as finding those of others, most of them YOURS clay . . .

Lacking the experience or maybe the depth I'm not sure, your work is too complicated for me to comment on. Please don't take this the wrong way. I love seeing your work posted with eager interest. I get something completely different than intended so feel commenting would be of no interest.
For example I got a man speaking out to a crowd only interested in what he has just realized was a lie, looking for an exit.

Point...your work is appreciated

Windnsea, in my experience no word you've ever written has been meaningless, so, sorry, definition 2 never applies to you. You're #1.

Dshizer, honest to Goodness, I'm delighted by your interpretation. Quentin Tarantino says he likes a movie audience of hundreds to walk away from his movie with hundreds of DIFFERENT versions of his movie in their heads. I feel the same way!

Write on, my friend, master innovator of word and art forms, your genius is undeniable and rivals that of 18th & 19th century pre-high-tech greats!!!
