Angeline

I loved your poem Rybka
Like Senna's poem it was filled with images that one can experience with the senses--the colors of the fruit, the smell of soil. Just wonderful imagery, I thought. When I read it, the word thar came to mind was vibrant. A vibrant poem!

Images are my game.
As my tagline says, "Paper is just blank canvas for the pictures of words." That is what I try to do, paint a word picture. Because of that I consider the font, size, style, color, and placement of each word on the page to be important. That is why (like Senna Jawa) I get frustrated with this site when it insists upon changing my work to agree with some foolish rule or lack of programming skills (not that I have any such skill). I have several poems that I will not submit anywhere because I will not allow them to be altered. The only way I can display them is as a Word file, or as a JPG.

Angeline, You too paint vivid mental visions. Everyone one has said how much they like your first stanza. Actually, I like the last two even better!

On the beach the waves still break.
The birds have taken back the sand:
Pipers skitter, seagulls dropping clams

on rocks swoop, snatch meat, land,
and gulping eye the seascape
once again alone at summer’s end.

Regards, Rybka

I don't have any of my own poems in picture format, but I have done that with E.E. Cummings' poems.

I don't have access to a scanner any more, but I could send you something in Microsoft Word, if you want.

You can see some of type of thing I mean at:Fall 1999. Ideally this would be in different colors and some of the words would move.

Rybka, if you want to, send me the word file and I'll convert it to .jpg or .gif

Agreed, but I don't know how to do it, and even the webmaster who posted it for me did not know.

All I see is a non-moving version of my fish gliph (facing the wrong way). I don't see any poem. :-(

You didn't send me any poem... probably forgot to attach the file.
