First impression
I'm asking a favour of you, because I am assuming you have never seen this plant before. Would you be willing to give me your raw impression of this image, without knowing anything else about it? Maybe a few key words that spring to mind? I'm not trying to get you interested in botany, unless you are already, I am hoping to get subjective impressions of this landscape. — CYGNIS INSIGNIS 14:47, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay. First words/impressions that came to mind (in order): mãos, arid, 80's rock hair, and a poem. After that, I was merely trying. My primary focus was on the tree/plant; secondarily on the plant front right. I have little to no knowledge about botany. I just appreciate what I see.

 * Thank you, that is very helpful. I'm interested in others observations of this landscape, what I see is familiar and overlaid with what I know, your impressions accord with those seeing it for the first time. BTW, I think that Coate's poem is my favourite so far, tho I trip at one of the lines. Have a good one, CYGNIS INSIGNIS 01:50, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I thought perhaps not so helpful, but glad if it was. Which line made you trip? Cadence or word choice or something else? Londonjackbooks (talk) 04:12, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Any data is helpful when I am gathering subjective responses. "Like love, which, careless or of time or death," a lot of American poetry of that period leaves me baffled (yet I appreciate the beat movement, which has that bewildering effect on most other readers) — CYGNIS INSIGNIS 12:30, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I once thought the first instance of "or" below was a typo in the original, but I vaguely remember looking into it, and it is as intended. Throws me too.

Hello! I have been thinking about this exchange lately... Hope all is well! :) Londonjackbooks (talk) 03:51, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Ahoy! If you're out there (or anyone), I have a question. What is it called when a line of poetry makes you stumble... when it is a bit "off" from the tempo of the rest of the poem? Like in the example above [update: not directly above, but in the poem "A Rose"]? Thanks if you can, Londonjackbooks (talk) 20:42, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

What I have found... It certainly draws your attention, at least! Like a "raff" Londonjackbooks (talk) 01:34, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
