For Function, Not For Applause   Leave a comment

Abstract Art by kenne

There is something endearingly human

about the need to measure, compare,

and quietly panic.

Nature, however,

is uninterested in your tape measure.

It built the mechanism

for function, not for applause—

though applause, historically,

has been enthusiastically sought.

The Feeling

The Feeling

It begins—
a tremor beneath thought,
a rumor of motion
through the bones.

This flesh remembers
what the mind forgot—
a door unlatched,
a heat before language.

I move,
or am moved,
by something older
than my own name.

You Have The Code   1 comment

You Have The Code

Poetry—
what is it?
A little of everything,
a lot of nothing,
the something that stirs
when you don’t have words.

It’s feeling, sure,
thoughts, ideas,
wisdom passed down
like hand-me-down shoes.

It’s beauty,
it’s music,
it’s art that breathes
right beside you.

It’s love,
it’s hate,
it’s fear on a Tuesday
& joy on a Friday.

It’s charity,
it’s greed,
it’s the whole messy creed
of being alive.

But still—
some folks claim
they know the secret handshake,
the password,
the code.

Poetry, they say,
belongs in books
with footnotes,
belongs to scholars
& saints.

But listen—
poetry ain’t code.
It’s not locked up,
not fenced in.

If you hear a line
& it sounds like your life,
your mother’s voice,
your lost summer—
that’s the poem.
Right there.

Because you are the code.
You are the key.

And in the end—
there is no wrong step.

Poetry is dancing.
If the beat feels good,
then move.

If the words feel right,
you’re already in it.

All colors of the rainbow

We are all hungry and thirsty for concrete images.
Abstract art will have been good for one thing:
to restore its exact virginity to figurative art.

There is no abstract art.

You must always start with something.

Afterward, you can remove all traces of reality.

The Tao of Blu   2 comments

Abstract of Joy by kenne

The Tao of Blu

Blu, is not definable
yet very recognizable
earth, life, feeling,
existing in the naked soul

layers of perceptions
clothed for definition
obliged to remove
to connect with Blu

Blu is natural
as flowing water
if you think
you are connecting

to experience Blu,
let go
for what is Blu
depends on Yu

Ideas Bloom Where Planted

Yet not the first,
planting ideas
generates a new beginning
forming the orientation
of the next
creating a path
for others to follow.
