Geometry

—“First Around the Mark,” Sarah Wesson

1.

It looks so simple:

a black square,

three trapezoids–

two orange, one white,

eleven white triangles,

one right, the rest acute or obtuse,

transformed by the mind,

become an ocean, buoys, a race.

It looks simple as sailing–

until you try it.

2.

Triangles are so often involved:

What is a trapezoid,

if not a triangle 

that has lost

its head?

3.

Triangles are so often involved,

but there’s more than one

way to make a 

paper sail-

boat.

And I know today should be a magnetic poem - don't worry that's coming too. But I'm super proud of this Ekphrastic poem I wrote today so I'm calling this #Day40 of the #AYearofPoetry challenge. Swipe to see "La Llamada" (last call) by Remedios Varo - the inspiration for this poem. Thank you again to @r.cliftpoetry for originally introducing me to Ekphrastic poetry and also to @neilicorn for showing me a side of this style that I never would have discovered otherwise. So glad I can know and learn from you both. If this is what I'm writing in the early days of the year - I cannot wait to see what I'll be writing 6 or even 8 months from now! #EkphrasticPoetry #LaLlamadaArt #RemediosVaro https://www.instagram.com/p/Cod_8IAL7VO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Gratitude to Impostor Lit for publishing my poem “Poem notes on the painting The Age of Noise, by Robert Cocke, Or, Monsters on the Sidelines.” It came out in their December issue that focused on ekphrastic poetry. I was really inspired by this painting that was part of a small but special surrealism show at @cr_museum_of_art last spring! Showed up there on a chilly, rainy day with @knbrkr0 and bummed around. Pretty great. Don’t miss Write at the Stanley @uistanleymuseum which is coming up Sunday, 1/22 at 3 pm. Come write with us!@iowacitypoetry #poetry #poetrycommunity #iowacity #art #ekphrasticpoetry #ekphrasis #writing #writingcommunity #joinus #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #artwork #inspiration #becreative #becreativeeveryday #museums #museumwriting #prompts #talkaboutit #poetryprompts #surrealist #color #paintings #write #iowacitypoetry #writeon #writingprompts #allarewelcome https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZwTORO2tr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We take a moment, just talk. Aren’t the beasts in the field beautiful? The way they gamble about, the way they dip their delicate heads, nibble grass and clover. Below us, the soldiers march, their boots churning the mud. Aren’t the beasts in the field beautiful? . .

What was supposed to be a walk to increase my daily steps turned into a journey. People pop out. Restaurants offer outside seating. The night is crisp. Saturn and Jupiter are still visible in the sky — on the way to convergence. I wanted to get more faces in my photographs. But the moments passed by too quickly. I saw a masked guy in a cab. He was balefully looking out a window. The Q49 runs along 74th Street. Wear your mask. Today in class an adolescent pupil couldn’t answer a question — so she said to me, “This question makes me feel unsafe.” I was taken aback by her statement. It’s the Covid. I imagined her shrieking out of class. By an unsafe question. I’m teaching a course on mythology. And one characteristic of myth is the unknown. So I get it, girl. Stuff gets real. From chaos to calm. From the womb to the tomb. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #life #queens #jacksonheights #callforpoetry #writersofinstagram #writing #poems #writer #writingcommunity #quoteoftheday #quote #poetryofinstagram #writersofig #poemfragment #blm #poetrysubmissions #poem #streetphotos #ekphrasticpoetry #art #love #poetsofinstagram #poetry #lovequotes #follow #symbolism #poetrylovers #poetrycommunity (at Jackson Heights) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFlKh6glQtR/?igshid=i6ycdv8tazb2

Under a Golden Moon

This was a beginning:

Smoke lifting like mist

from the glow of coal and flame,

as we sat, humans around a fire,

listening while words

took the path of smoke,

rising into this night

under a golden moon,

Words, fire, and moon,

each a ward against the darkness,

its beasts and monsters.

Together, huddled close,

we listened,

as the storyteller sang.

                                  —Erik Koeppel “Golden Moon”

GLOMAG MAY 2019 Someone Knows My Name (Iemand Ken My Naam) Chrome Dreams – Each liquid drowning night I continue to descend into startling revelatory chrome dreams where even each step becomes heavier as I continue to search for existential necessary answers to my elected existence which I have had no control of, Yet find myself waking up to begin another new day everyday where my steps become new imprints in this earthly confluence of mankind and nature existing side by side – Both in steady decline despite renewed efforts to sustain, preserve, protect, renew or regenerate, so I walk the same as the rest, hoping someone will know my name or even offer a warm smile to know I exist... The Taste of Dust – Despite my expected joyful exterior I blame myself for my chosen moments of uncontrollable melancholy born from social even religious guilt grown from accusatory sour sermons spoken by appointment mouthpieces who themselves transfer their own fears onto willing ears, not realising how their fiery words maim, deplete and delete our self-worth despite the forgiveness of our earthly sins so instead of peaceful dreams I sometimes experience the taste of dust during my nightly dream sequence canvass, where my preferred colour palette drips into nothingness and once again I pray that someone will know my name – Empty Faces – I know I am still here but things have changed people have changed this world is changing and I wonder if I will ever see again the wonder of mankind even though some are not that kind – Daily lives depend on verbal daggers piercing our brittle existence in this age of progress where emotions are frowned upon and only trophies of wealth will do but who do we trust if acts of goodwill are dismissed or when we find ourselves in desperate situations and no one stretches out a helping hand? Empty faces show no graces revealing no stifled confessions but I hold my head high and soldier on through this sea of despair hoping someone will remember my name... ©Don Beukes Photo Credit © Marcel Herms #ekphrasticpoetry #donbeukes #marcelherms #glomag https://www.instagram.com/p/By4zihNo2qS/?igshid=s2twgmg732b4
