POETICS

POETRY IS AN ORAL ART AT ITS BEST WHEN RECITED it then becomes a two-way unique one-off.experience .

to the detail- 

Traditional line capitalisation is ok In RHYME ..YES.. but NOT otherwise as it creates a natural pause (ie it stilts) & thus disrupts the flow as it also does in wrap-around lines which are also a no-no !

& are not visually conducive to read digitally or otherwise! 

"what have you got against these five forms and their like, acrostic, kyrielle terzanelle villanelle &pantoum etc? "

they can be good for a learning exercise,a bit like scales are important when learning the pianobut are too contrived & mechanical IMHO for poetry form

& importantly these days which is why they, like all traditional poetics line capitalisation & punctuation etc are susceptible to undetectable AI

but I like shape,emagi & ekphrasis verse! they reveal my weakness for art in poetry! 

 I do not care for prose poetry! as for my taste they & 'real' poetry do not mix 

particular forms that appeal would be Rhyme,alliteration,clerihew,footle&hiku*(both in the singular especially) will always ring my bell.

 & of course poetry in the OPEN VERSE style which 

 uses spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols relies upon 'the one breath limitation' this intuitive cadence pemits the 'reader' (reciter) to respond in an interpretative - interplay unique to the ' happening

ART PHILOSOPHY 

MY DEFINITION- I use in making my art ,similar to  my poetics

I prefer  bold  expressive applied spontaneity of visceral feelings unpredictable & evolving organically.A physical engagement of energy & emotions in & of the moment processed in a sense of chaotic immediacy

whilst apprecicating the skill in figuarative art and my spontaneous 'one-off' reaction thereto.
