Being a Poet

What do poets really do?
Children sometimes ask,
“Is writing poetry lots of fun,
Or a really boring task?”

“How do you get the words
To rhyme the way they do?”
“What kind of mind matches words
Like gnu, canoe, and kazoo?”

I think we are all poets
In our own little way.
Poems are when an open mind
Lets its thoughts out to play.

Bruce Larkin

~~o~~~~ sunsets


daily tie-dyed
pastel skies
all too soon
dematerialize

mountains, vales
and prairies fade;
glaciers chill -
deserts defied

oceans drink
in exultation;
the sun retreats

I'm not a big fan of cubism (maybe a little fan). I like "Burrinho Correndo" and "Gladiolus" (Palmas de Santa Rita) and 'A Estudante Russa" the best... Her opus "A Boba" (The Idiot) not so much, perhaps because it is too irreverent. For the most part I would have expected a more vibrant color pallette... but maybe that's what set her apart. Still, quite a revolutionary in the Brasilian art scene.

Anita- At that time the Brazilian Modernists were enamoured with the most recent French artist trends: cubism, dadaism, surrealism. They managed however to give it the typical ironic or irreverent Brazilian twist which you spotted in "A Boba" (I think that´s the meaning of "Tupi or not tupi, that's the question"). That´s what I like about it.

[tailor STATELY]

Interesting analysis:
What stands out more in this regard, especially in most of his later poetry, is the relatively infrequent appearance of rhyme, meter, and the like [i]when these features can lend a special and appropriate effect. Some of his earlier poetry is marked by exercises in traditional forms, such as the roundel and the Italian and English sonnet, complete with expected rhyme schemes, but the vast majority of his later poetry is free verse. Nevertheless, rhymes, rhythms, onomatopoeia, invented words, unusually placed lines, lines of odd lengths, “concrete” poetic conventions, and more pepper Gullar’s free verse.. The interview is interesting on two levels: FG's poetry and the reality of staying true to the spirit of the poet/poem when translating the poet's works. The immensity of difficulty in translation is made even more apparent when you consider LG had access to FG. Enjoyed the translation of Traduzir-se; so simple in construction at first glance.

Time

Thus she walks in the same circle,
The time, according to their old way,
On their way deaf and blind.
The unencumbered human child
Expecting the next moment
An unhappy strange new happiness.
The sun goes and returns,
When the moon comes down and the night falls,
The hours down the weeks,
The weeks bring the seasons.
From the outside nothing ever again.

Fernando Pessoa (my favorite Portuguese poet)

http://www.poetryinternationalweb.net/pi/site/poet/item/7051/11/Fernando-Pessoa (unfortunately they have taken the other links out it seems

"Autopsychography"

(Poets feign and conceal
So completely feign and pretend
That the pain which they really feel
They'll feign for you in the end

And he who reads what they've done
Never senses the twofold pain
That's in them, only the one
Which they never feel but feign

And so, to amuse our minds
Round again to the start
On its circular railway winds
That toy train called the heart.)

—Michael Hamburger
http://disquiet.com/thirteen.html

"Autopsychography"

The poet is a born pretender
So well does he pretend
That he affects to feel
The pain he feels in the end

And those that read his writings
Never feel his twofold pain
But just the one
That´s not in them

And so turning his wheels
Entertaining reason with art
Girates this mechanism
That we call the heart.
(My attempt, after reading the other ones)

[tailor STATELY]

SF: I found a terrible translation of the poem, but I think I get the gist: Where to walk Stephen Fry where you'll walk/Stephen Nobody knows of his whereabouts/nobody knows where he was to where he may be/feeling all alone/ Stephen never do this again/come back home/ if you run the bug takes Stephen/if you stay the beast eats. FP: Very complex: "... horoscope charts Pessoa devised for his three most important heteronyms" - intriguing. Enjoyed the following poem:
The Herdsman
BY ALBERTO CAEIRO (FERNANDO PESSOA)
TRANSLATED BY EDOUARD RODITI

I'm herdsman of a flock.
The sheep are my thoughts
And my thoughts are all sensations.
I think with my eyes and my ears
And my hands and feet
And nostrils and mouth.

To think a flower is to see and smell it.
To eat a fruit is to sense its savor.

And that is why, when I feel sad,
In a day of heat, because of so much joy
And lay me down in the grass to rest
And close my sun-warmed eyes,
I feel my whole body relaxed in reality
And know the whole truth and am happy.

[Danik 2016]

SF-The text of the song is not good (but the translation makes it worse) that´s why I didn´t provide the translation. I only found it remarcable that someone made a song called "Looking for Stephen Fry" Note: "if you run the bug takes Stephen/if you stay the beast eats" (for Heaven´s sake!). When someone is in a fix we say: if you run the beast gets you/if you stay the beast devours you!"
FP-Among other things FP worked at an astrologer. I saw his char made by himself. He himself was gemini (multiple identities heteronyms among other things), ascendent in Skorpio (interest in religion and occultism)
PA-Beautiful Poems. Maybe a Portuguese descendence (surname and looks).

SF: lol re: translation. AdQ: His poem reflects his faith to a "t"; too sad. One of my sisters resigned to her fate in a similar manner about 10-years ago; reading of AdQ's demise brings back the pain. On a lighter note I may check out his sonnets; the sonnet is a form I've tried with limited success, and yet some poets can create them with no trouble at all.

the movement of his powerful soft strides
is like a ritual dance around a center

Our choir sang a devotional that contained the 24th Psalm a while back that I have used as a pacing song when walking (referenced in a poem I wrote 5/18/2015: "A Golden Sierra Walk In May" https://sites.google.com/site/apoetingardenvalley/ ).
