cubist poem

Driving 

Get in the car

Set belt. Buckle buckle buckle

Drive. Wait. Foot on the break. Break.

Drive slow. Slow slowly.

Drive. keep foot on break.

Go. Left. Which way is left. Left. Wait. Right.

Left left left

Turn left

Go slow. Watch out. Drive. Foot on break. Slow slow

Which way is left. Which way is right left right left right

Which lane. Get over. Wrong way

Which way is left right

“You went the wrong way”

Please make a u-turn

Left left

No the other left

Pleaae make a u-turn

Please make a u-turn

You. You drive. Wrong

You. You. Turn left

wrong

Go slowly

Watch out

Red light don’t go. go slow

Stop.

 watch what your doing. Too slow

Why so slow. Wrong way.

Which way is left. Left left left.

Keep going. Drive drive drive.

Ezra Pound Image

·      The image is the poets pigment. (the image is as paint is to an artist. It is how he/ she shows what they are expressing.)

·      The image is not an idea. It is a radiant node or cluster, a vortex through which, and from which, and into which ideas are constantly rushing (an image is not just the thought. An image is everything; it is the concrete and the thought and mood associated with the image.)

·      It is as true for painting and sculpture as it is for poetry (Just as you need to be able to see in painting and sculpting, you need to be able to visualize in poetry.)

Sisters (list poem)

We share the same sense of humor

We share the same music

We share the same love of creatures

We share the same clothes

We share the same curly hair

We share the same love for root beer

We share the same mutual questioning of the universe

We share the same distaste of our father

We share the same hate for Christmas

We share the same noses

We share the same understanding

We share our lives
