See my comment under Sara's, if you want to know where my mindset was. Perhaps there is more or "less." :)

I have included the original poem “Pointless,” below. I felt this poem had more to say. POINT point here…there…every here…less for the birds the short stra of the scarecro w b r a i n l e s s w Pointless pointless here…there…everywhere for the birds the short straw of the scarecrow b r a i n l e s s

Interesting pieces, Kim. Maybe people just expect too much of scarecrows.

It's funny to see a repeat performance....I give it a standing ovation! There is little difference between the two when I think about it. All in how we want to look at things!

The “w’s” become birds in flight…point here…there…the awkward “every here.” …also “less” for the birds. I loved playing with this one…just happened. Thanks for reading, Duke!

I like both poems, but the one on the bottom works a little better for me.

Thank you..yes, that was the original. The second doesn’t work without the first :)

So which is the original? The one way at the bottom ? It is easier for me that one, but I love both poems.

The bottom was the original, without it the second one probably doesn’t make sense.

Such creativity! Wizard-like... Maybe you can lend some of your wizardry to the scarecrow. Either that or construct a 'brainpower charging station' for him.

LOL! Recharging the brain! Dr. Frankenstein, move over.

Can't blame you for this poem. I'm brainless too.

An interesting poem with an interesting style. May the scarecrow find his brain.

And if one looks, they find it was there all along, but many don’t look. Thanks, Hilda!

creative and clever, Kim! Love the 'reverse' you employed. Well done. Have a great evening, hugs, Sara

Thank you. I was looking at it and the “w’s” wanted to fly, like the birds; the kite string found a crook; the scarecrow wanted to “point,” like in “The Wizard of Oz;” and “less” was more as it was used in the main body of the poem. We do see people pointing “elsewhere,” never at themselves. I appreciate you, Sara! :)
