dVerse Poets Pub Prompt : Patterns Pictures and Poems
hosted by james rainsford
combining words and images, two of my most enduring art loves (two others being dance and music) is one of my favorite creative outlets
james, from the uk, and an elder it appears (from his site) presents just what i needed, an excuse uh, opportunity 😉 to 1) do a photopoem, and 2) use an image i really like, but was probably not gonna use in any of my upcoming photopoem books
i’ve link-marked “photopoem books” for those reading, as a heads up that my newest photopoem book from my “everyday inspirations” is free starting tomorrow, mon-fri, march 26-30, for five days 😉 sneaky huh? 😉
anyway, james’ intro essay into dversepoets’ prompt, is really interesting
plus, he is a photographer himself
what’s interesting to me, and kinda substantiates what i’ve felt about much of the arts for a long time, is there’s many ways to approach an art, and still “get it right” – since the thing to get right is getting in touch with one self’s own creative mode
james himself likes to create a poem, then search for an image he can capture or use to compliment it :
“I don’t work to a set pattern to create a poem or photo. Mostly the poem comes first, and then I either select an image from my photo library, or occasionally venture out with my camera to try and capture a relevant moment.”
while i like to identify an image, tinker with it to my liking, then let it prompt me for the right words for that moment in me
either works, or both alternately 😉
like james, i don’t think there’s a set pattern
the patterns are in us, are organic, and like the templates that i think yoga poses are, alter and adjust day to day, as we do, as the poem the image the pose and ourselves, are one piece
a google search continues to bring up interesting ideas about photopoems
here then is my own image and verse
i should add that james does supply some fabulous images that a poet is welcome to use if they don’t have or want to use one of their own
the setting for my image is the waterfront park area in burlington, along lake champlain vermont
thanks ya’ll 😉
