I must stop looking at your work, for you see I get easily jealous of your pieces. The ideas are ones I WISH I would come up with. the greatest complement that a poet can give to a fellow poet is that you and your poetry presses me to dream bigger and in full colors. Thank you for giving me something to inspire to.

very, very nicely done. i love the idea, i'm inspired to have a go at trying something along the same lines. this reminds me of bob dylan at the start of the second part of no direction home- anyone know it? funny as hell and pure genius. and also tripping on many, many drugs.

Have you seen the work of Jenny Holzer? This piece of yours reminds me of her work. Jenny works almost exclusively with words. She speaks so many truths in a blunt, sometimes shocking, way. It's refreshing to see such personal art. Thanks for sharing with me.

They say that actions speak louder than words, but there is one major advantage that words have over those said actions. The advantage is that no matter what action you act out - the effect of that action will always be the same. But if you read a paragraph, or orate a speech - one word could change the entire effect of that speech. It could change the audience, or the subject matter, or the perspective. Actions are not that easily manipulable.
I really like this piece. I like the way you numbered it, refreshing to say the least. I also love the images you created for me - leaves, dreams, colors and whispers all whirling around into different shapes in the wind.

Yet another example of "poetry." It's a shame, really. What's worse is that people are pretending it's wonderful. That's what makes it tragic. Well, I suppose it does communicate in that respect. For poetry's sake, stop writing. You're just helping to kill an art form.
Stick to visual arts and lay off the turpentine.

What, exactly, is your beef with this piece? I'm curious. You neglected to mention your problem with it in your comment.

This piece is sort of like a string of Haiku. I think the idea of this is the emotion that it inspires. This work is not constrained by the bounds of "standard" poetry. This person isn't afraid to try her own unique forms of expression. Its the fear of branching out that causes art to stagnate. Open-mindedness is the key. I'm not saying this is a masterpiece, but it is not a butchery of the poetry form either. Simply put, its an approach which isn't commonly seen. I believe it has its merits, both visually, and poeticly.

Entirely agreed. I'm sorry to say.

I am yet to read an impressive piece of poetry in english, so I have to agree with you, or not agree with or wateva, I just know that this is not art.

I am no good with words, and people who can work them seem almost magical to me.
And this is incredible, it has a natural, doodled feel to it,
Like free-flowing thoughts in the mind
And so vivid! As I read it, the air changed around me!
One moment, refreshing, clear
The next, thick and hot...
I'm probably missing the point of this piece entirely, but I'm going to fav it anyway. Congratulations on the DD... Though I know very little about writing, it seems to me to be quite masterful.

it was a doodle...
The search for the operative word is a process thats documented in my journal always... and this was one such process that I thought could stand as an end product in itself.
Thanks for taking the time...

Excellent work. I love the idea with the ink splatters you had.
It confused me for a moment, but overall it was a wonderful work. And around here, it's hard to find anything like this; that is, any pieces as stunning as this is. Very good. I have to

An absolute delight to read. Very refreshing, a welcome change from the typical poetry of the day..
I am utterly amazed at how you managed to NOT bore me with the repetitions. It was a tripping experience, and each segment seemed like a new little poem.. I had to go back and back each time I read the next segment, to really study out what you did, what you changed, what you kept, what you discarded.. it's a poem the reader works with, and I'm sure it'll give me something new wach time I read it.
You seem to become more confident towards the end, and the end is also a very enjoyable part. The beginning isn't weak, by any means.. I'm not sure if I make myself understood here.. Oh, I've got it! The poem seems to grow. To get older, like a human. At first it is a child, but it grows older, and by the end it's a person at the end of his/her life.. so beautiful. What wonderful progression.

This is just stupendous .... I would have to say that at the moment, I'm most partial to the last one ...

...I pride myself on giving fairly in-depth poetic analysis. But this defies it. Not only is the structure and the presentation all-important, but the poem itself utterly avoids any form of solid interpretation. All we see is a continual change, one meaning blending into another. And that in itself is an adept transition. Fascinating stuff.

i just had to come down to the bottom of the page, so that my comments wouldnt be sullied by other peoples thoughts about it.
I took so long to read it. Partly because I wanted to do it, and partly because i wanted to see how you progressed from stanza to stanza which is pure amazing. I love the whole idea of one word and interjecting another new line for it to be used at a later time. THe word choice, quite excellent and works well, dreams, turpentine, colors, breathing, etc. it all made a sense of wishy-washyness that was actually personified by the poems structure itself.
heh i wish i can bring myself to make somethin as creative as this; I envy your Dailydeviation, well deserved. I do lots and lots of poetry but it usually surfaces when i have no paper around heh heh.
