Brian Strand Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

 

OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,

the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) 

to input and responds thus

 making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon 

unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

AN ABSTRACTED POEM

orbit around
ideas
 once held
close
 in past selves

rhetoric
  bathed
in clichéd
  visual
representation

burnished
impulse
strengthened
by the
the wilderness
of
  inner life

needs
posited
 by visual
  language
 unmoored
   from contexts
 vagueness
&amorphous
 abstraction

 fervency
erased
 spring up
distilled
of some
essence
 circumvented
in
narcissistic
 grafting
of self
 in the tangible
permanence
 of durable
words
