"You are…you are not…". "Green: Therefore It Is". "by Miron BIAŁOSZEWSKI
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...herefore-it-is
Thanx... a few more x's in my research queue :)
Enjoyed... interesting format :) An abstract of which I haven't the lens necessary to fathom evidentially... perhaps: ceramic piece? WWII? home? lifestyle?; an existential blur? The following is another poem by Miron someone tried to parse... https://evebigaj.medium.com/translat...y-1942c7297411
May be a repeat:
"Z is for Zombie" - D.C. Jordan; Z... https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/z_818161
It´s not. Short and to the point!
"All these great barns out here in the outskirts,"."What It Looks Like To Us and the Words We Use" by Ada Limón
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...e-words-we-use
Lovely poem :) I get to rub shoulders, well, be in the same room as a California State Poet Laureate and a handful of more local laureates this Friday... some share the same vision as Ada.
"Beside the open window she is lying," - Nora Pembroke; Forsaken... https://www.poetrycat.com/nora-pembroke/forsaken
re: Wow! You will be on a meeting with a California State Poet Laureate tomorrow? Who is it? Where is the event going to be?
Sad poem!
It´s not April, but:

The California poet laureate, Lee Herrick: https://arts.ca.gov/press-release/go...poet-laureate/
I can assure you the event will likely be lowkey. Our new county poet laureate Stephen Meadows, and past county laureates will also attend at our public library in Placerville. I've known Stephen for maybe a handful of years: https://artsandcultureeldorado.org/poet-laureate/ and Taylor Graham, also noted in the link, is our Thursday at Two poetry leader. I may dust off a poem for the open microphone session... or not :)
Intriguing poem on poetic images: "Time is the school in which we learn, / Time is the fire in which we burn."
"Dense night is a needs thing." - Jaya Savige; Carousel... https://www.poetryoutloud.org/poem/carousel/
Korea+ California, interesting. Browsed poems by him on Poetry Foundation:

"Carousel". Original and modern! Enjoyed!
"Ever the nostalgic futurist"."How Do You Know the Sky Is Falling?" by Harryette Mullen

Thanx !
Interesting poem and format... again a bit lost in the content, but an enjoyable poem otherwise :)
"Flute of life sing, sing in winter" - Eden Verse; Flute Of Life... https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flute-of-life/
re "How Do You Know the Sky Is Falling?": I´ve also dificulties with some of these modern poems. Maybe they mean, what the reader wants them to mean. I looked for an analysis but found only a somewhat heavy article.
Liked the poem and its recurrences:"Flute of life, pipe midst of Winter/Songs of golden days of summer".

Incredible word play... and kitty cats/poets :)
