light vespers 16


rain


do construed Syllables count in the worktext ??


rain


the tons of moss in me

require more rain

consistent , but transparent moss-slick surfaces cover cheek bones and eyes

exposed

in open open daylight


and


child droplets slick, child droplets slick


rain again


rain chooses her footsteps carefully home

joining Platonic vegetation

I think it's the end of poetry.

I will now be extraordinarily unpopular on this blog - but I think it is.

re: many publishers not wanting to publish new poetry
re: higher levels of literacy and education
re: the "new media age" Poetry is of books and pages, new media is very different - about movement light, colour and sound.

I think text in art will continue and words in video/film.
Poetry is a precise use of language, today poetry must reflect abitraryness. Arbitraryness ultimately means meaninglessness (or similar) and poetry becomes abitrary its self, if it tries to reflect this.

New Media Poetry (visual, etc.) reflects New Media occurances that are already present. If they are already present (serving an artistic function) then why poeticise them through description?

The poetry on the Internet that is "cutting edge" and reflects the abitraryness of Western culture, becomes unfathomable to the reader; a complexity of meanings and ideas that will escape the majority of readers. Therefore, communication to a public is lost....
