Imagist Poems

Heartstring

Drum beats
         Sunrises
                 Dancing dusky clouds
In tune with blues

In leafy garden
            To the hills of yearning
    

W T F As An Imagist

W rite       TELL

             Fail
                   as an imagist

Imagist Mvp Moore

A POETIC WALK WITH MARIANNE MOORE

Come read and let my voice
take you along a 
syntactical line
                                  Better yet
    

Imagist Mvp Fletcher

John Gould Fletcher an 'Amygist'

sadly in a  pond his body was found

Imagist Mvp Doolittle

self-styling  as 'H D'

Imagist Mvp Eliot

Eliot's
waste
                 land
                  so
empty
now of
flowers

                to
  

Imagist Mvp Aldington

Ricard Aldington

Sadly as his Imagism froze
he abandoned poetry for prose

Imagist Mvp Soutar

TRIBUTE
each day a new beginning
a time to start anew 
cherish the gifts of the earth
with stewardship lent to you


within the heart of life
we each, must make this choice
fear not your tenderness
listen to that inner voice


beyond bitterness beyond tumult
there lies a better place
world without end
with Him,living face to face

Imagist Mvp Flint

Ekphrasis tribute to and inspired by imagist-F S Flint

 musical rhythm of vers libre
in a sequence of concepts 
&propositions
 recording impressions 
clothed in beauty.
instinct over thought
independent of form 
cadence lyrical expressed
where emotions 
   are the driving force
in
 harmonic flows
 of nuanced  length
&breadth

Imagist Mvp Stevens

Wallace Stevens 1879-1955

with imagist-poetics once did strive
Enigma in his 'Valley Candle'
helped his poetry to sell well

Imagist Mvp Hulme

Filling his verse with metaphor
Vers libre,not metre was the core,
He lit the fuse and walked away-
So little did his talent yield,for
He left his light on Flanders Field

Tribute to T E Hulme 1883-1917 initiator/catalyst of the Imagist form

Imagist Mvp Wcw

I
          picked  up
                      this
pen
        let it
                   loose
upon
  
       my page

like 
  WCW
      'just
                  to
                        say'
matter
         of fact
                    so every
                      day
a
note
           husband
                  to wife
can
         become
                       so well
                       read
albeit
after
           the poet's
                         dead


NOTE W C Williams
'Reply'(Flossie's answer to
'Just to Say')was
published in the Atlantic
Monthly Nov 1982

Imagist Mvp Ezra

He began as an image theorist
with the genre never did not persist

Imagist Mvp Adelaide

A well travelled lass named Adelaide
Innovative and never staid,
Unmarried,single but no old maid-
A short life,latterly full of pain,
Her epitaph,the American cinquain.

A window pane shatters



Nobody makes a home run
