Brilliantly penned, Fia. Wonderful storytelling, it kinda reminds me of a sitcom my friend. Excellent write. Appreciate you.

I enjoyed this. Comparing the kiss to drinking water is imaginative–I like it. I need to “see” the action in a story, and that was easy with this. Probably because I’m a very foolish (and hopeless) romantic, I feel bad when romance has to take a back seat to life goals. Maybe she’ll see him again?

I just love how this unfolds. The character development of the Scottish man is truly outstanding. And your grasp of the Scottish lingo is truly amazing. I love how you made the Scottish words so clearly understandable yet authentic. And the story telling is fabulous.

One day, perchance, you’ll meet your sophophile 🌼

This is the ever long conundrum between faith and science. One wants to look at the code and prays to the one who created it. The other looks at the code to find a way to break it. Neither of the two just looks at the code in itself and appreciates its beauty.

hello dearest Green I don’t know what to say I often find myself not looking for the code but knowing they are there I struggle not to be triggered by them because all hell breaks lose when I do… this is great it stirs something in me 💕

I confess, I would want to crack the code. But I definitely appreciate the incredible mind it took to create it. I certainly couldn’t.

This is so cool .. a proper little gem & muchly enjoyed .. Neville

Tremendous work.

Excellent poem. Indeed scientific coding has a beauty that many don’t see. Loved this.

Your mind has stepped up to questions of why or why not by combining liberty, beauty and logic in what is Your very own. I think! Is similar to an artist dabbing colours on a needed canvas but – obeying the need to experiment. Have you read Simon Singh’s book about codes?

That is a thought. this is a good stream of conscious.

hello beautiful Green this makes me think of wondering where parts of me go when they do beautiful thought provoking write 💕

hello green I have trouble listening I struggle with internal silence great write 💕

Sometimes nobody listens to eachother
Even during years of conversation.
This poem makes you think.

Powerful work.

I certainly know that scene, and feel much as you do about it. I’m mostly a quiet type who doesn’t talk a lot, so when I do open my mouth, I want to be heard. What I want and what happens are often not the same, however. Communication should be a two-way street. Your few words are an important statement.

this makes me think of metaphors for getting with someone romatically and going to the flea market and haggling for the write price haggling with a whore sorry Fia it’s the images your challenge brought 💕
