mad enchantment–
a swarm, a flock, a host–
winged spirits
Bjorn has us going through out bookshelves for his dVerse prompt. I brought very few books to my temporary apartment, thinking I would make frequent visits to the library. Most of what is here are art books with exiting titles like “Matisse” or “Chagall”. Still, I managed to put together a haiku-like book poem.
Then I did one with CDs, which offered a better selection.
Wise up ghost:
I’m not there.
Life’s too short.

A great collection! Love the last one!! Death don’t come calling… I ‘m not here!

That’s what I thought….
This actually reminded me of one of your little vines.

That’s exactly what I thought! I thought the first one sounds very Kerfe, and the second one reminds me of Claudia. 😀

Simple and straightforward seeming but then there is more under the surface. That is what I hope for Little vines. Really, for everything I write. I believe this poem does exactly that – you have put a lot in a few words and it sticks with me.

Petru’s book spines were like that too. This is a good way to find those juxtapositions.

The painting looks like a mad enchantment, and the 2nd poem is a dispeller. Never heard that Elvis Costello song before. It’s a good one. How long will you be in your temporary place?

I was hoping just till the fall, but the virus has thrown everything into the unknown. I have no idea now.
Elvis has done so much music, it’s hard to know all of it. But I like his collaboration with the Roots a lot.

p.s. I’m starting on a collage based on a photograph tomorrow. Should be a fun challenge.

Liked both of them, especially the CD inspired with weirdness that hits me where it feels, and also the artwork! Brilliant, organic colour-poems, The plate of food, just effing brilliant!

I liked your double-dipping. The CD list works best for me…Ladies of the canyon love a madman across the water wearing a famous blue raincoat, right?

Well done. I am inspired by your use of CD titles but I think I may have given all of my cases away. Maybe I will look for other ideas around the house.
