Oh this is beuatiful! I liked the poem a lot when it was just words, but the images add an extra layer of depth.

Also, I've been wrestling with art for mine and your technique is SO much more legible than what I was doing.

Thank you! ♥ I was going to do the artwork on paper, but then I started fiddling around with GIMP and liked what I could do digitally. :)

This is just fantastic. I love how you took scattered words and made such beautiful images. That - to me - is the real essence of poetry, to create moving and evocative images and feelings for the reader with only a few well-chosen words.

Thank you so much! ♥ Yeah, that's definitely how I view poetry too-a few of my favorite poems have just a tiny handful of words, and yet they just stick to the inside of your brain and refuse to let go.

This is so absolutely, exquisitely beautiful I want to roll around on the floor clutching it and sobbing.

Oh my, this is a wonderful compliment... I'm glad you liked it! ♥♥♥

This is the first time I've read something like this, and holy shit - I find myself blown away by this. You've really done a fantastic job in this, and despite the small number of words used I find myself really captivated by what you've managed to accomplished with just that. I think you've really managed to bring across the essence of the fic itself as well as Castiel himself, and I don't think that's something anybody can accomplish so easily, especially not through something like this.

So yeah - much kudos to you! I really enjoyed it all, and I hope to see more of your works in the near future. :)

Thank you so much! ♥♥♥ I'm glad you liked it. I've always loved poetry for managing to convey so much in so little, so I'm glad I was able to do that. :)

I have another piece of erasure poetry here; the original was a Final Fantasy VII fic, but the poem can be read as something unaffiliated with any fandom.
