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.
SELFIE IN RHYME
SELFIE☆
I reject some (not all) things traditional
especially in art & the poetical
The aesthetics I still like to keep
the conventional usually sends me to sleep
BIO 2☆
Avid cricketeer (now armchair) I am
a fast bowler once but still now a fan
'Red' ball real cricket I mean to say
not 'white ball' contrived for a day
BIO 3☆
I learn't my soccer on a neighbouring green
so the 50's attacking is my stylistic scene
Never watch the modern defensive passing back +fro
too negative,..too boring ..& much too slow
BIO 4☆
Training as a Chartered articled clerk
'sandwich ' type correspondence i made my mark
Not in audit but management accounting
spending a career .. just... 'figuring'
BIO 5☆
Sport no 3 Golf
Golf a 'umbling game It's all in the mind
just one swing away
from a problem..hiding.
BIO 6 ☆
Success,influence some wealth,but then,
unrest made me its pen:
Unease, unravelled thoughts in my mind,
shalom,I could not find:
I searched,re-searched,voyaged everywhere,
then trust and faith was found there:
Questions ebbed,doubts flowed 'ere I made my plea:
He heard,and now I see.after G Herbert style in 'Hope'
BIO 7 ☆
Creatively freed by Ephesians 2:9 & ten
the Holy Spirit guided my pen
Short verse my first choice form
tanka,cinquain lanterne an everyday norm
BIO 8☆
Freed to be who I really am you see
thus my art folio came to be
Figuratives portraits all spontaneous
my style now extemporaneous
BIO☆ 9
The key to my poetry by choice
reciting poetry by human voice
Ear to ear a unique happening
experiential unrepeatable unfolding
BIO 10
The purpose in publishing my poetry
is to encourage others you see
"If he can so can I"
so easy ...now t give it a try
Express those innate creative gifts
just a need to persist
Enter my regular contests
win a trophy & be blessed
