Unlocked on Torn World

 You can now read my poems "Cage of Hope" and "Hearsay Cafe" on Torn World.  They're not new, but rather are older poems that have been unlocked for public viewing.

Re: clarification

Grin, go ahead and cite it. Processing disorder is nothing to be "ashamed" of, and if I /do/ keep it private for some misguided reason, it might NOT help someone else with a similar visual 'kink' in the slinky.

I liked the first four lines....

Question... Can Dreamwidth show background color per line?

If you cluster not even every line, the first and last of each verse
HIGHLIGHT first line HIGHLIGHT END
second line
third line
HIGHLIGHT fourth line END HIGHLIGHT

that would be enough framework for a reference point.


With the processing, it's eyes-skipping-all-over-the-page looking for signposts, like indents and spaces between paragraphs in one format, or solid margin, first line caps, etc,

But when I don't have those signposts, that all over skipping doesn't stop, so the eyestrain turns into headache in seconds.

Done, and the post is up. Thanks for your insight.

Yay!

Maybe? So far the only thing I've done to change background color is making spoiler blanks. It's at the fringe of my "There is now a Level 0" coding expertise.

I have seen poems with a subtle tone of light background on one line, darker background on next line, to make it easier to distinguish lines.

But the actual poem is on the Torn World website, which ellenmillion codes, so I have no idea what works there.

That is a very clear explanation, thanks.
