I Hear A Character Speak Comments

Submerged into our characters until we become them and they are us..Wonderful thought...Scarlett

I loved this Julia. The strong narrative voice showed how powerful the imagination can be from both the perspective of the writer and the reader. Kind regards. Justine.

strongly and confidently written, Julia. i liked the narrative voice, the poem's tightness and ability to say a lot in its short space. i particularly thought the passage 'Fill the gaps / And write yourself into the best loved tale./ You're in my story, former selves all shed.' was grand.

Julia, I felt a sense of anticipation, eagerness to flesh out this person, to make him complete, if only in my own mind. Beautifully written, well presented. Scarlett

Original, mystical, enchanting - wonderful. With warmth, Gina.

This seems almost like a sequel to 'From 'Theirs' to Mine' - a tribute to the powers of imagination and creative thought. It is, as usual, beautifully written with not a word out of place or wasted - definitely one to join 'my favourites'. Congratulations!

I really like your poem. It is only in the minds of others or within the thoughts emenating from our own heads that we become real, a dream within a dream, for which, sometimes phantasy becomes stronger and more real than reality. I believe that fiction often speaks greater truth than realism.
