Day 10:
write a ‘poetic form’ poem, and/or write an ‘anti-form’ poem (see link)
The waka is a Japanese 5-line poem (or stanza) with a 5-7-5-7-7 syllable per line structure.
The first 2 lines should make up
one piece, the next 2 lines should make the next,
and the final line can
stand on its own or as part of the second group.
without foundation
of choice inflex reflex auto,
smash-and-grab
of ideas,
bereft
of blueprint, line, fleshed-out arc.
Moving pictures
walking inside out of themselves.
Moon
flit, cut felt,
cherry blossoms
blow-out rhyme
falling,
a slide out of flux,
rewind, rewound,
unwind, unfound,
sunken states
of passing light.
