I have also been mucking about with what I think of as ‘cross word’ poems and ones where you just write the sentences from the first letter – these again are very much visual and I have been attempting to combine them with a concept I came up with which is the Code Poem. I’ve […]
I have actually been spending most of this month creating a set of visual poems which I am calling Putting a Face to the Name Poems – I literally create a face out of a persons name and it is harder than it sounds! I need to do the finials of these before I can […]

I mentioned before that I’d written a poem for an anthology I was trying to get into – well the poem Where Are You has been accepted 🙂 It can be seen here on the Year Zero Writers Blog and I believe it is avaliable in some e-reader format from Amazon too 🙂

And the round ocean Sat on the square sea embedded in the triangular earth Horizons – Euclidean’s dream And the curved clouds Cut the angled sky Intersecting the cord Making – Mathamatician’s cry
This is another of my visual poem cards but I can’t decide which way up I prefer to be honest :/ The words are part of a vortex made by a larger version of the jelly fish ‘pretending’ to be a vortex I cut out of an old New Scientist. The words say: Formation, Vortex, […]
The Spirits of the Past is another VisPo card from me 🙂
