Interests: movement, stressed/transgressive embodiment, lived experience (body\space\time\relation)
expression ( word, dance, text, image, story, music, poetics)
learning, yielding......
Hopes for the blog:
offer up the wild intersectedness of lived experience and engage others in creative, expressive, perhaps irreverant, hopefully playful, and respectful encounters....
enact kindness
create moments of pause for disclosure, discovery, stillness
Revolt
a
lake
stretches out
before me, grey &
shimmering lovely starkness
broken by breeze, leaves & loon
call stars in the offing
leaning back
in
the
boat
is all it takes to begin
its release from shore
drifting
into
the
cool
silver beckoning
bowl of twilight
Enjoying exactly the same effect myself only on a dock on a river. Happy trails to you.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be there. I love the whole feel of your words, Harlequin.The lay out too. It looks like a sail and a boat to me. But that is just me.
ReplyDeleteI love this, especially the anchor shape that I see in it.
ReplyDeleteLet the twilight come and take me to the night, I am ready for the beauty of the darkness lying on my back looking at stars I do not know the name of.
ReplyDeletetaking a rest and lying back in my little boat. Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteMr.C.--wish i was on a lake or a river! this was a "wanna be" poem, a protest against my too busy schedule right now--it's my light at the end of the tunnel. thanks for the visit
ReplyDeleteSarahA-thanks for the kind words; glad the shape worked ( kind of...:))
Madame--thanks ... i was hoping to achieve some nautical shape and i am glad it resembles something!! cheers

Sarah T-thank you, too. glad my " here's hoping" poem struck a chord
"silver beckoning
ReplyDeletebowl of twilight"
Wonderful line - great poem (and it's shaped like a tree :)
Pisces -- i like that line, too. glad you enjoyed this one. and it does kinda look like a tree....
ReplyDeletei admire anyone who can make a shape poem... i am grateful i can get it to be something other than middle of the page or justified left or right!! cheers
Beautiful poem and writting still. It is true all it takes its the relief from shore, that is the hole point of this.
ReplyDeleteBe well my friend
mariana--thanks for the visit; i like what you say about the relief.... i am leaning towards it more and more.
ReplyDeletecheers !
