Male Poet

[ellajam]

Yeah, long time for me too, makes me want to dig one up, just to read.

Ditto on that first line, but I really like S2 and S3, particularly

"Who challenged death renaming grass
In bowers by himself"

It's beautiful.
Maybe I'd like the rest if I understood it, but the center of the poem really comes through.

Here's my preachy poem.

To I-ching men are seen in gusts
In cuts of howling wind
That flurry seeds to be recieved
With force in sweeping wings

Like printed lines we crack like snakes
That fork the moving sky
To activate and charge the earth
By chopping three-stacked lines

The sequence makes a system speak
and fits a poet well
Who challenged death renaming grass
In bowers by himself

In placid gusts at forest lawns
I wonder what will spark
The lifeless men beneath the ground
Who died upon a lark.
