Everything was
never simply black on white.
No. You will find that

the writing on the wall was
scrawled in Jealousy's green ink.

Magic...the inspiration point was difficult enough, but you set yourself additional hurdles to jump...and have achieved both goals, admirably. Tina xxx

Hey Beeme! I'm seriously happy you think so! 'Black on white' was used to obviously demonstrate black ink on a white page - but also a reference to the sexuality between the black Othello and white Desdemona. Also just wanted to let you all know that today I received word from Oxford University and they've called me for interview! It'll be next Monday! I'm nervous already! Magic xxx

Magic, as you already know, I wish you all the luck in the world with Oxford, although I agree with Ewan;-) And also, I've just noticed that cherry. This one will be very sweet...I just get that feeling;-) Tina xxx

My favourite Shakespeare play and my favourite IP entry so far - I 'LOVE it!' too:) And my congrats and best of luck for the Ox interview too (what course and at what college are you going for?), even though, again, I'm sure you'll ace it - and certainly any written tasks! Thanks, :)

Yes! i'm the 238th reader of this piece, and i'm well chuffed! i've always wanted to be 238th! thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity, magic! okay, seriously, there isn't much i can add to the 237 comments ahead of me. i do like these new short poems of yours. they are creative and effective. don't be nervous about Oxford...let Oxford be nervous about you.
