I have been doing these black out poems during lockdown and as you said, it is interesting to see what messages reveal themselves in these little poems. Yours are wonderful!

I am so happy for you, that this new opportunity showed up for you. You deserve it and I can‘t wait to hear more about it.

Congratulations, Stella!

Congratulations for the awesome news!! I love that you are also participating in this kind of poetry. I have been meaning to ask Manuela more about it, but haven't gotten back to her post yet. Now that I see yours, it makes sense! I had never heard of this before. I may have to try my hand in it. Excellent post Stella.
