Daily Notes on Poetry

12 June 2004. I can't believe it was eight days ago when I last reflected on my Poem poems here; it seems like just a few days ago. Maybe that's because I did toy with my new character, Criticism, a few days ago. I bungled him in the direction of an origin that I just now built a poem out of. Disappearing in the process was the very rough draft I introduced Criticism in:

The Visitor

Back door's
minutely-rained-into step-dreams
pursue Poem into
a woman's red chores

The winded mud
seems peculiarly southern when Poem returns
over a decade later,
eager to explain himself to Criticism,
finally visiting or.

Except for the use of "or" as a noun. And redness. I think the result has a number of interesting elements, but I'm not sure how successful it is, over-all:

Criticism's Origins

Back when Poem was mostly feathers,
Criticism inter-branched darkly under him.

Piffling roundly absent to resin
shortly after Poem tightened into vocality,
Criticism mastered himself calibrated
along the loam and ensign
of his iron.

Alwaysed thereafter in the reddest invisibilities
of Poem's vocation, he spryed diagrams
of concord splamorously beyond
the crinch of the minders
raucously misadvertising their inability
to increase down to from
or or,
as taste.

Poem followed the diagrams eleven-twelfths unknowingly,
struggling them into re-knowings
not even the loudest art-as-handmaid-of-autocracy
could studge anyone nimbled at all
from divining,
induteously.
