My ensuing death
Barks at my heels
Demarnding to go for walks
Asking for water
With languid eyes
My ensuing death
Packs itself neatly
Into my luguage
Hoping to holiday
In the sun
My ensuing death
Follows me to the bath
Popping the bubbles
Leaving a hard
To clean scum
My ensuing death
hovers whilst I hoover
Reminding me of the times
We have already
Seen together
This was again from one of the fantastic photographs by Ella Gale used by WoPoWriMO on the finial day of the challenge – I think there were two poems that came out of this exercise – here they are:
Colour on the surface
Reflected ripples
bifricated
tinged with empathy
of me
Standing for eternity
Stone
But living
My eyes see and ears hear
Thirst increases
The drink opened before me
pages turned to stone
So I may not turn
May not know
The end
Maybe forever
You may have noticed I am sending live a mish mash of this months poetry challenge and February’s WoPoWriMo poems. The reason for this is that as I am doing mostly Visual Poetry for this one I am coming up with rough sketches basically and I want to make them into nice images that I can at least photograph if not fiddle about with in photoshop or something.
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
I have submitted a poem on Higg Bosons the theoretical particles to The Year Zero Writers – they have an open call out for stories or poems about the Higgs Boson but the deadline is the 15 th of April 2010.
It is also counting as one of my poems for NaPoWriMo 🙂
I love writing poems or creating art about scientific concepts – one of the things I hate is the false distinction that there are ‘arty’ people and ‘science’ people. I personally believe that creativity is the layer about science and art and that it is just what you use the creativity for.
Anyway – just thought I’d let you know 🙂
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, Looms, Flying, Free
Or
Free, Flying, Looms, Vortex, Formation
The Spirits of the Past is another VisPo card from me 🙂
This is another visual poem card I’ve made for NaPoWriMo it says Steam Through The Spirit To Grow and the heart depicts part of a jellyfish which was used to portray vortex stuff in New Scientist.
Here is my first VisPo of April (visual poem) Preserving Live! Knowledge. It is very diagramatical 🙂
After having down WoPoWriMo I’ve found I really want to concentrate on Visual Poetry for NaPoWriMo this month so I took a tonne of magazines and catalogues, glue and card to a local cafe where I like to write and met with my friend Richard.
We then chopped the mags up and produced visual poetry (or concrete? as he keeps mentioning!), he kept a tally on the number of random looks we got and I cringed with embarrassment when he managed to go off looking at books or something right when a Lady from my village wondered by with a ‘WHAT are you doing?’.
Still I am happy with my poems – I stuck mine onto card blanks as I love card making and this struck me as a good thing to do so beware people who know me you maybe getting random birthday cards that are actually my visual poems (well it makes a change from the seascape!). Richard on the other had hacked out the bits he wanted stuck them in his note book for post processing on a computer later on!
