Unveiled



The following writing uses a variety of methods for poetic inquiry. I am the bricoleur.

Where is the painting of my day?
The garden
The deck
The field
The making of lunch for Elaine.

from T. Elliott (blog)

Truth trees
try to tame rhizomes
the rhizomes laugh
dancing away.

by S. Honeychurch (tweet)

Method 1: From a recent thread of tweets I find poems. Found poems use only the words from the original text but may use them in different sequences.


Methods 2
Poetic Inquiry (using my words with found words and multiple sources of inspiration)
Bricolage (construction achieved by using whatever comes to hand (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
Bowerbirding (collecting ‘twigs’ together and forming different structures to attract meaning making)

Pentimento is regret?
I can’t accept that
Maybe a turning.

What is hidden
Can be scraped back
With care and intent.

What is an act of saying?
I read your (real) digital sticky notes
Painted on the page
I respect the stuff
That occurs to you.

Performance in the text
Helps both the telling
And told.

What parts are falling away?
How do we filter,
Into a dynamic re-conception?

Lives in the telling (stories)
Experiences that are told (performances)
And yet.

There is no truth in
    the painting of (a) life.
    What is life drawing?
    A form that is strange and yet
            familiar.

I fill in the gaps
My eyes search for
    Hidden angles
        Desire lines.

Bringing into sight,
Visible again,
Be-coming or be painted out.

  1. Bricolage as an attitude, not (just) an action.

    1. May it is the 'make-do' attitude that creates the bricoleur. I use make-do as a boundary and it gives me more than a little satisfaction to create/make out of found materials.

  2. Every day is a journey through CLMOOC Tweets, blogs, videos and shared interests, curiosity and imagination. It brought me here today.

    1. The margins are popping (via hypothes.is)! Thank you Terry.
