exposing words soul swirling revelations twine without speech touch tendering naught quiet joy’s touch quivering behold chaliced reveries legends echo gist tardy avenues eternal fading leaves shimmer Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close... |

Yes, EH, interesting writing. I meant to comment on this earlier--better late than never. Right? I am intriqued by this form. Does it have a name? Until I learn the name of this form I've coined the name of Shoestring poem to describe it, as one can lace their shoes in many ways, achieving the desired affect, just as your poem. I enjoyed the experimentation of thoughts, sounds, and words within your poem. Sadie |

Well Sadie, since you asked this format you can call anything you want, as it I have never found anything quite like it in any reference book on poetic forms. I actually have a small lexicon of description for what I write. This under my own system is a Three theme/Single word/Home/Peninsula/Island format. The terminlogy simply refers to word placement and multidimensionality or lack thereof. Home refers to the standard left side of the page most of us generally start with. Peninsulas are just that, words that visually extend but are attached, as islands are words apparently out, untethered to either a margin or any preceeding word. The overall key is something you mentioned in an earlier poem, it is what I call Multidimensionality. The purpose is to create a poem that can literally be read in any direction, starting anywhere, even using cryptation such as "skip word" etc. That is the goal. Unfortunately it is a goal I have rarely even come close to. But I keep trying. I appreciate both the insight and the interest. Most people just do a quick read and say "Weird". When the goal is to make poetry that can bring one something new with each reading. Any decent symphony requires MANY listenings to appreciate. I strive for the same thing in poetry. Which is the wonderful thing about poetry- the freedom to use and place words for hopefully the maximum impact each has the potential for. Being a musician, I consider musical and poetic forms almost as one. As I strive musically to do the same thing- make it completely multidimensional. So there is an extended answer to a short question. Hey I like to write. Be Well, and Thank you again "High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy." |

Thanks all Sunshine two replies par excellence I do believe that is begininng to become a contagion- one can only hope. Sadie I truly appreciate your interest. I will make a point of posting more different forms for your edifictaion. Tis I who am grateful for the appreciation, and I am not particularly brilliant, I have just been writing poetry for about 30 years. And as in music, heck in life I break the rules that do not conform to the melody most willingly Guess I better dig deep into my bag of poetic forms. The nicest thing about setting your own form, is one molds it to one's inherent style, allowing one to put the most emphasis on the ideas, words, phrases that to the writer are most important. I will show you some things I hope you find interesting MAny thanks again "High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy." |
