RE: ANIMALS - the complete series of poems and illustrations (with cover illustrations), by @bennettitalia

Abstract is hard to work with. You want to leave obscurity and a lot to interpretation, but you fear that the reader can get lost. The good about it is that it can have no meaning, and the reader gives it some. So, I understand it will not be everyone's cup of tea, but I definitely loved it ;) It actually inspired me a bit to break free from the more rigid style I sometimes adopt.

Cool! Would love to read some of that if you care to post any links here.

The biggest influence appears in this piece: https://steemit.com/contest/@poetrybyjeremy/cotton-rain-150-word-flash-fiction-entry-for-dhs-5sbd-contest

It is my second flash-fiction, but it is relatively short (150 words) and is written in a poetic style. My first flash-fiction was too predictable; so I loosened myself a bit :)
