Musette: Games

Poems, and occasional reedy accordion music. April 7 poem: Once, then later (cutup). Lots of writing, but little posting, so early April will unfurl in a string of posts today. I seem to have questions of origin on my mind, and more than a few pieces go to that theme. Todays words came from pages 1066-1067 of the Merriam-Websters Collegiate Encyclopedia, Middlebury College to Mikan. Once, then later. Was facade simply an imprecise term for permanent exile?

Poems, and occasional reedy accordion music. May 6 poem: Our waveform story (cutup). This one sat on my screen for a while for no special reason besides other distractions. It was written quite some time ago, and Im finding things to enjoy as I look at it now. I see there a description, of sorts, of my way of composing. Its words are drawn from pages 236-237 of the desktop encyclopedia, brocade to Brookings Institution. Image by Oberazzi, via Flickr. May 06, 2011 in Experiments. Go unwritten. The goa...

Poems, and occasional reedy accordion music. DTLA (that's downtown L.A.). March 26 poem: Man with no hands. I was interested in this image, by edgeplot, via Flickr, because sometimes when I look I see the figure of a man in the gray brush. As for the words, theyre a record of today. Man with no hands. That was God talking. The first thing the voice says. Not a preacher’s voice. Troubled, but with what? March 26, 2011 in Dispatches from out there. DTLA (that's downtown L.A.).

Musette: Poems
http://musette.typepad.com/weblog/poems
Poems, and occasional reedy accordion music. Its been a while. One of the experiments that took me away was a blog about writing that you can see here. I loved encouraging other people to write, and I still do it both personally and professionally. But after six months, I wanted to write more poems. And having freed a huge amount of time to write the writing blog, I realized I could repurpose it. For poetry. Banged into a decaying face gravel. Leaking, imprint of stones on her palms. This one sat on my s...

Musette: Experiments
http://musette.typepad.com/weblog/experiments
Poems, and occasional reedy accordion music. August 3 poem: Cycle. Id wondered how Id make use of the cut-ups from April. Now, as I return to them, I see some possibilities, some shapes rising. The piece below (it traces the life of a woman) is a new form of the cut-up I called Romance, which exists here. The process interests me, as does the puzzle of ever matching an image to rather abstract work. I was lucky to find the image above in the Flickr stream of Bill Gracey. Cut, she transfers soul matter,.

Poems, and occasional reedy accordion music. May 1 poem: Our task (cut-up). My work life began to intrude on the writing of April, so much so that while I worked on pieces, I didnt post them. So Im reaching back to my cut-ups project and, looking at it from this distance, enjoying it. The words here are from the desktop encyclopedia, pages 580-581, fin whale to Fisher (as in chess player Bobby). I was at the L.A.
