what is a sonnet today
and is it worth trying to write one
you step from one world into another
cross the membrane
then one world is a poem
an image can mutate into a poem
the frets on a guitar
are visual music
mathematics is the geometry of sound
just another step away
trying to find the final lines
to transform a text into a sonnet
counting and miscounting lines
tripping over rhyme
I am thnking a lot about poems and thinking. It could become an endless preoccupation.

ReplyDeletelove the line 'an image can mutate onto a poem' — often wonder precisely how that happens
ReplyDeleteyes, it's magic, I really like that
ReplyDeleteAnd lines 3-5 too. Terific
