POETIC PREFERENCES
My poetic hobby was initiated by
my fascination with words and commenced with an alliteration that
appealed enough for it to be published.
Here is a clip of a poem by Gerald
Manley Hopkins in this style
The American cinquains of Adelaide
Crapsey ,as exampled in this enigmatic imagism clip of her November Night is
the complementary part b aspect of this preference of mine
The second influence I encountered on
my poetic path was JAPANESE IMAGERY initially with the haiku in its original
ethnic style as exampled here by the translations of the master thereof Basho
in this clip
leading to the longer tanka preference,
English language style as in this clip
have been captivated by how folk took
to my footle with wit and humour ,none more so than this sequenced variation
from way back when from Sean Kelly...
To complete this preference of wit etc
,clerihew from the master thereof himself exampled in this clip
presentational 'style' ...
namely ...open verse line break style
,......once described as
'a device to resolve the conflict
between form and freedom in verse'
and..is perhaps best understood ,as
exampled in this clip of a Marianne Moore poem
and visually ,as illustrated in this W
C Williams link
Whatever the form,short or long my
first preferences will always be the poetics ..a difficult concept to define
but perhaps best illustrated ..as in the this clip from addenda 23 by Samuel
Beckett
Easy on the ear and eye ,the 'formal
poetry,' (inc rhyme) of the style of Timothy Steele as in this link
Modern imagism of the commonplace, of
the everyday as exemplified in this clip of the master of
this genre,the US poet , August Kleinzahler
Bio narratives in the poetic style of
Seamus Heaney as in these clips
The combination of art with poetry
after the Japanese haiga has enable me to combine my two retirement
hobbies,here is a sample clip of mine
and a youtube clip thereon
The digital mix of poetry with photos (
haiga for a modern age)
and with music as in this clip
poetry mix that sometimes appeals is
the concrete/shape with its visual wordplay that creates a surreal and abstract
artwork,as in this clip
Found poetry art mix can be a very
inspirational combination as this clip shows
The Ekphrasis as ilustrated below has
always been a preference of choice as illustrated in this clip
and at this link
