Hi Stephen,
ReplyDeleteThe photos you've recently started including add a very seductive visual dimension to each daily poem-greeting-meditation. Also, and maybe not surprisingly, the pictures on occassion inspire me to re-do at least the first line. Today for example, I see:
violet light dawn fog against invisible
put those words into "courier new" font and I do believe it works within (fits) the constraint (letters/spaces per line) I think you use...
Thanks again for this marvelous project!
Thanks for this Steven, I started putting those photos in on June 1, so almost three months of them now, and yes, they're interesting to me --"visual element" as you say, a picture-without-words of what's going on in the words-without-picture of first three lines -- and these two both pointing toward what's 'going on out there in the world', so there's a kind a triangulation of things: things/actions out there in the world, words that point toward those things/actions (but aren't 'the same' things/actions), pictures that (also) point toward those things/actions, but also aren't 'the same' things/actions. . . .
