Poem 1

Give it time they said

But two plus two is a hundred and two

And gravity bends space

So in a singularity, I lost my place

No matter,

relatively speaking

A Million Words [2]

Submitted by jrlewis on Mon, 10/08/2012 - 10:46am.

I'm re-reading this poem in it's new form and loving it. With my photography background, I'm interpreting the text-background color reversal as the negative of a photo. Or in this case the negative of the poem. Very heavy irony here. I think the visual element really enhances the meaning of the words. I'd love to see more of this play between image and word in your writing. If a picture is worth a thousand words and you already have a few good words, then you have a lot!

Thank you, jrlewis. I never thought I'd be writing poetry just a few months ago, but I am enjoying this. I'm reaching into new parts of my brain. I'm not sure where to take it, feeling my way through. Verbal, Aural, Musical, Visual......? I will pay attention to the visual, I've got a little experience with visual. Your feedback is music to my ears.

A Poem of a Picture? [4]

I only know of one visual poetry form, concrete poetry. The words of the poem are arranged to form a picture of the subject of the poem. I suspect that there are many other interesting ways of incorporating visual elements into poetry. I'd be curious to see what you can do with digital photography and some editing software...
