hi miyako I do not get how the title links with what the piece is showing.
blue and winter? do you mean to say the winter blues?

[miyako73]

yes.... many blue(s) with weird capitalization -- confused, crazy, manic, disturbed, etc. I just wanna get these poems out of my system.

miyako should you be creating shapes?
fall and autumn is the same right?
what program are you using to create these impressions?

[miyako73]

Each poem tells a story. Fall and Autumn are the same. But I use autumn because I like the sound.

Fall

is about the falling leaves and the bird (le aves - loosely, the bird)


autumn

is a poem about all the colors of autumn leaves. What you see are branches after all the leaves fall.


Spring

is a play of words. you can either do cleaning (getting busy) or leaning (getting lazy). if you clean the dirt, the mess, the grime, you'll end up with "clean!" (as in done cleaning) or "clean." as in (you clean). The whole line asks, "Cleaning?". During spring, I usually clean the entire house and my self-- in and out.


Summer

is the most complicated. It is about the "summer wind" in my past. It's an autobiographical piece. My earliest childhood summer memory of my mother is when she would toss me up in the air and catch me with her hands and hugging arms. I was around 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 years old. I thought it was love. Later I found out it was controlled rage and restrained "killing." She had postpartum.


Just check the W (woman not mother) tossing the i (baby). Check also the small letters that form "id"--related to psyche.


I self-copyrighted all these seemingly ridiculous poems because they are very difficult to write. It took me all night for just these 5 poems. Conceptualizing is not easy. I can write a relatively long poem with words in five minutes (example: Ode to Helen). I spent almost two hours for "Summer" above.


Thanks for reading or maybe for viewing/seeing/watching/eyeing. Now I can move on from this project.

I thought autumn was some four legged animal with a long neck so I puzzled over it!

A long time back I read a poem by someone about the mighty Nile. The lines began as trickles but grew and expanded as the force of the river approached the ocean. I thought it was rather clever but I don't know if anyone else spotted it.
