It's such an iconic image I could easily picture it in my mind while reading. Then I watched as it transformed with your words

Yeah, this programming of this picture is strong :) Objectively, as far as photos go, it's pretty good though.

Brilliant. The entire poem is brilliant. In your evocation of Dorian Gray alone, I found five different angles. This poem is as astounding from a technical lens as it is from a thematic one.

Deeply impressed,

Thank you for that. I quite liked how it came out myself. I was working for quite a while on another poem, that just didn't flow and felt very forced.

I read it to my wife who said "if it's a work in progress than I'm sure it will be good." Which her nice way of saying, it was worse then our child's poems. 🤣

But there was this one line I had in there with this idea of the picture. So I threw away that other poem and this was born.

This has happened to me before as well. There's a natural resistance to certain ideas or topics and some others just leap out.

In any case, I'm glad it did and I'm happy you enjoyed it.
