  1. I wasn't going to comment again-but I will. You are much smarter than this (work) comrade. If you want to engage in the dialogue of contemporary art and are interested in similar topics-you may like to look at the work of Bill Henson ,photographer. You may remember that a few years ago his show in Sydney was shut down, and K Rudd called his work "disgusting".It certainly caused a debate in the art world and it took me some time to figure out what I thought of his work myself.Henson works right on the edge of public morality.
    Another artist you may like to look at is Tracey Emin who bravely and boldly looks at the experience of being female,- in an autobiographical way.Again it took me a while to understand her work.
    This may not interest you -in which case ignore.

    1. This was a quick one. I've done better. A daily posting schedule can be of interest in the way that it shows the ebbs and flows of creativity and interests. It's journaling. A diary.

      I'll look up the artists you suggest.

    2. I know-it is amazing how you come with something everyday.I like many of your poems-particularly the earliest ones.

    3. How do they differ from the more re entry ones?

  2. A more logical thought process is easier to follow, and there is a flow.You said later you started to be deliberately vague and open etc.Sometimes I can't relate to any common experience but sometimes I can.Perhaps then it is idiosycratic to yourself and your particular life-hard to fathom from the outside.
    I think all art is about our own process and it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.

    1. You mean my haiku have become more poetic in some ways?

      I agree that reduction can stifle the flow.

    2. I'm not sure what you mean?Sorry....

    3. Poetic in terms of being more enigmatic and open to multiple interpretations: evocative.

      The reduction has always been present in the 3 line format, but 6 words is even less expansive and jolts between fragments. It's my cubist model on steroids.

  3. Ok I get it-
    Yes sometimes too diffuse to grasp the meaning-and yes jolts between fragments.6 words is a challenge- I notice that my poems are more like 10 words as were some of your earlier ones.
