Comments on the clue
1.The grammar of the cryptic reading could be improved I think
2.Clever &lit although a little wordy
3.A clever &lit, perhaps 'expressing' & 'going' may read better? I hope this gets up there.
4.Nice clue but while 'expresses' fits the lit. meaning, need'expressing' for the wordplay.
5.Clever, different and nicely done.
