I was a little twisted around in this one. Immediately thought of food. Maybe the scallops for 10.99$ with a side salad. Oh but to have something special, something that makes you happy, perhaps unique, yes that would be special.

Makes me think of the Church Lady on Sat Night Live.
Loved it.
I've heard it so much from people. "how special of you." "he's a special child." "what a special thought."
Well done.
Your definition of 'special' highlights exactly how it has become thrown out and trodden underfoot as a term. I find it derogative these days - a lazy way of defining that which has value only in its inability to be referred to in any other way... the 'wooden spoon prize', in other words. 'Oddly different' is much more to my liking - but what would you expect from someone who prefers just plain 'peculiar'... now there's a term that means 'special' if ever there was one... :) Uniqueness is a fact; it's just our perception doesn't necessarily clock it unless it makes a personal impact. Get well soon, oh one who has more than their belly-full of 'special' :) xx

Your poetry has always been special and I've missed it through the years.
While I don't write anymore I still enjoy a good read. I gave up writing for photography and I enjoy it as well. It's Special. lol
Special, I humorously think of the short bus...
What is special? Is it unique, do we have a
quality no one else has that sets us apart from
the rest? Perhaps, but only to that one "special"
person...
You inspire me with your deep thoughts and how you
grab a subject and make us think Jude...
Good poem. Remember that show Alias Smith and Jones? Remember The Midnight Special, Creedence Clearwater Revival? You can tell a fake from the authentic "Special"...Let the Midnight Special Shine the Everlovin light on me.

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
