Paul--

I love to see your poetry when it pops up on oslist from time to time. It is evocative for me. Thank you.

Opening Space

In this place there are only tones.
No bodily function yet movement
 From thought that flexes
Non-existent muscles.

There are no nouns, only verb
Upon verb, Like fields and valleys,
The language spoken by
The dead, who have cast off all nouns
Is a landscape uttered here.

There are harmonics and rising pitch
That discords as pain, and accords
As love.

In this place there is only tone.
There is communion in notes with a
Melody of Meaning and it is possible
To touch another with the intention
Of a healing song.

Into this place, I unfold my wings of sound-borne light.

        Hi folks. The warm invite to check the oslist archives led me
        on a good journey last night. Some of the jewels I found were
        poems, from the days of the "poetry celebration and contest"
        that lived here for a long while.

        Poems of open space! With a convenor naming a poetic "form" to
        follow for that round of celebration.

        Here is one, in the form of three stanzas of haiku.


        huge pens and newsprint

        like twigs and leaves on the floor:

        fall forest clearing.



        wall like wide canvas

        bare, primed, awaiting fresh strokes

        painted by our hearts.



        circle of welcome,

        like setting an old table

        for neighbors and friends.



        Here is one in a fun form using an alphabet. It's not about
        open space, but is about writing a poem, kinda. (Without
        launching a new Celebration formally, i invite you to try it...)


        And I
        Believe you too
        Can
        Do a poem, and
        Even
        Fairly
        Gracefully – I
        Have seen
        Innovative
        Juxtapositions
        Kindly
        Line up in
        Many
        New and
        Original
        Poems - it’s
        Quite
        Reasonable to get
        So many words
        To line
        Up
        Very
        Willingly
        Xcept if you get this far it’s sometimes trouble.
