Before I start making my slow way through my f-list, replying to some inspiring comments here and posting the rest of the poems from my beginning-of-June flood, now that I finally have time to do so, I’m posting a poem which I wrote down only yesterday, although it started forming in my mind exactly a week ago. Comments of any sort are greatly ( Read more... )

Another of yesterday’s poems. I’d say it is pretty unusual for me as regards the sort and amount of stylistic means. Next step on the way of changes ( Read more... )

I changed my mind. I am crazy. Writing like crazy. Crazy things.

It’s my first Remus/Sirius poem since, as I’ve just checked, a year: the previous one was “ Foundations”, written exactly on the 8th of June 2006 (and posted precisely four months later). So I really couldn’t wait. The next peculiarity is the fact that the poem’s rhymed - although I ( Read more... )

Ooh, life is crazy. Since yesterday I’ve written another rhymed poem - but I’m not at all sure I’ll decide to post it, as it’s sort of … funny … or something - and a, let’s say, ‘normal’ poem, which is for some reason also strange. Yet another one is waiting to be written, but for now I have a fresh piece of prose (which started as a poem, to be ( Read more... )

It seems that I’m going through an experimenting phase in my writing: first line breaking, now - horror of horrors! - rhyming. This particular poem I blame on one Philip Larkin, my most recent love, whose “Collected Poems” I’ve been reading and sometimes translating into Polish (“An April Sunday brings the snow”, “To Failure”, “To My Wife”, “Coming ( Read more... )

This is a poem I wrote two days ago. As I explained in my thank-you notes to the wonderful comments on “ Look”, I make here another attempt to develop the idea of unconventional line breaking, although this time on a much smaller scale.

I’m wondering whether, or actually how the poem can be understood without a key, which is the meaning of the ( Read more... )

I wrote this piece a few weeks ago, inspired by this wonderful, wonderful poem by Eija (paulamcg): both by a particular phrase, with which I chose to begin my poem, and by the technique of unconventional line breaking in search of ambiguity. This is my very first take on this style and I must admit I was rather uncertain about the results. Thank you, Eija ( Read more... )

And one more, written (down) yesterday morning. This poem is very special to me for a reason I cannot reveal yet, as I don’t want to influence the reception. I would absolutely love to hear about your possible interpretations, associations, ideas, impressions - everything. No worries, there’s no such thing as wrong answers ( Read more... )

Yet another poem from the 12th of May. I was wondering why I can call it a poem, when the language is so obviously simple and, well, prose. But I do call it a poem - and I believe it is more the concept of the piece, the way it was written and can be received, that make it one, than the language as such. Or do they ( Read more... )

Another poem from yesterday. I see I’m slowly beginning to play with the form. Hopefully it will bring some interesting results ( Read more... )
