Terry's Latest Submission

Another critique lost to the poorly placed "evil" button and, which, will simply refuses to die... Excellent and original, you are beginning to define a style, something even Rachel lacked. The poem strikes at the basis of differences between prose and poetry and delivers its own "non sequitur" parallel of where poetry takes license prose cannot. Stringent thought versus the flight of the fanciful, wherein, so many times, discovery is made. JCH

Thanks. The poem was lightweight, but sometimes is what so far I haven't been able to find any really informed information on the non-determinist movement in poetry; but I gather (and I gather simply by studying the words) it means open-ended, not completely defined, where effects may precede causes so there's a timeless quality simply not all summed up in a tidy little pkg. For the most part, I stopped reading others poetry, because imitation is too easy for me, so I read dictionaries...it brings me closer to the meaning of words and then I can write my own meanings using words more fully. Words become tokens placed in context instead of enclosed objects with strictly defined meanings. I will still read other poets but none of the published "old school Harold Bloom" ones for awhile. What poetry society didn't define itself newly? The title of my poem...I believe you understand fully beyond what is written here. "fanciful"? maybe, the world seems to need some of that. It's lightweight but doesn't drag down. Nothing has to be mundane...and poems especially don't have to ever be mundane, poetically speaking. Terry
