MACHINA POETIKA: Terrapin's "Free Verse"
Poetry approaches the
question of meaning in a
free-form and open-ended
manner.

Links to my recent poems,
conceived as intellectual
explorations of the sublime,
may be found at left.




Lately I have been trying to
conceive of a form of poetry
interrelated with my notion of
Motist art and philosophical
ideas.

The simplest form is a structure
which abandons clear-cut
meanings in favor of something
entirely nebulous--simply the
repetition of the last letter of
each line in another poem,
leaving meaning to the ear and
literal imagination.

A link to such concepts of
Motist poetry is at left.

I have also created separate
sections for short love poems
and sonnets of different kinds
(with the emphasis on poem
rather than love, otherwise
they would be personal).

Please peruse to
your heart's contentment
These aren't dark the way they
once were.
