Finding

2022-01-23 SD Writing / Creativity Group

It was a beautiful afternoon in the park, writing and sharing with wonderful people. [I still can’t grasp – fully – that I can do this in January.] The prompt was a poem with the title Funeral. The lyrical I asked for a celebration of the happiness and fulfillment achieved.
And I still have not read up on Tarot.

Haiku 1

Painting by Jim LePage http://www.jimlepage.com/

Twirling in orange
Sacral flows down and up and
Ajna seeing blue 

In my writing group on the weekend, the prompt was to look at the painting and write a haiku. If I remember right, this is my first haiku — ever. I asked Jim LePage, and he graciously gave me permission to use his painting on my blog.

If you do not follow blogs, which I understand, I also let all know on Twitter and Instagram. See you soon.

Hundrest poem without taers

My English translation

In 2012, I heard Dragica Rajčić read her poetry. She is Croatian and lives in Switzerland. Her volume of poetry is in German; she also writes in Croatian, which I cannot read. I did not like the English translation, also presented at the reading, because it had eliminated all the idiosyncracies of the original. I believe it is the little nicks that make this poem.

And if you like the just texts — poems I wrote or translated, prose that often has a rhythm — they are, in no particular order, under Just texts.
