“How to Write a Poem

 

Catch the air

around the butterfly.”

 

― Katerina Stoykova Klemer

  

Dawn & poem. Tuscany.CF011538

  

Ogni giorno è diverso dall’altro, ogni alba porta con sè il suo speciale miracolo, il suo istante magico, in cui si distruggono gli universi passati e nascono nuove stelle. I Navajo,infatti, insegnano ai loro bambini che ogni mattina il sole che sorge e’ un sole nuovo. Nasce ogni giorno, vive solo per quel giorno, muore alla sera e non ritornera’ piu’. Dicono ai loro piccoli: Il sole ha solo questo giorno, un giorno. Vivi bene la tua vita in modo che il sole non abbia sprecato il suo tempo prezioso.

"A picture is a poem without words."

Quote - Horace

 

Ice-abstract.

Trees are poems that the earth writes in the sky. But not this one anymore, it's dead wood.

In the Inn floodplains near Urfahr / Malching

La palabra inglesa para pesadilla es “nightmare”, que literalmente significa “la yegua de la noche” Hay un verso de Shakespeare que dice “I met the night mare”, “me encontré con la yegua de la noche”. En otro poema ya dice deliberadamente “the nightmare and her nine foals”, “la pesadilla y sus nueve potrillos”, volviendo a considerarla como una yegua nocturna.

 

No soy etimólogo y según la palabra que para pesadilla tiene cada país se consideran otros orígenes, la mayoría relacionados con demonios, pero reconozco que este origen y significado es el que más me gusta. Me parece incluso poético.

 

No se trata de un trabajo de edición. Es el reflejo de una columnata en un gran recipiente de bronce pulido en un templo de la India.

 

R.L. Burnside - Nightmare Blues

No one remembered to put in their original teeth

at the plant nursing home

so they can’t tell the nurses and aides

to turn off Fox news

and they wither like they’ve been

left for an eternity to suffer

for all their long lost sins.

LAS NUBES

 

Inútilmente interrogas.

Tus ojos miran al cielo.

Buscas, mirando a las nubes,

huellas que se llevó el viento.

 

Buscas las manos calientes,

los rostros de los que fueron,

el círculo donde yerran

tocando sus instrumentos.

 

Nubes que eran ritmo, canto

sin final y sin comienzo,

campanas de espumas pálidas

volteando su secreto,

 

Palmas de mármol, criaturas

girando al compás del tiempo,

imitándole a la vida

su perpetuo movimiento.

 

Inútilmente interrogas

desde tus párpados ciegos.

¿Qué haces mirando a las nubes,

José Hierro?

" I was born on the holy ground,

Running wild and free,

Across wide meadows by the stream,

Between the mountains and the sea,

 

I grew up there in boyhood days,

Filled with sights and sounds,

My roots run deep here in the clay,

Upon this hallowed ground,

 

Our children came in the early years,

They ran wild but not so free,

For the meadows gone and the stream lies still,

Between the mountains and the sea,

 

Now I am old and not so wise.

As I am supposed to be,

And the nights draw in and the wind blows cold,

Between the mountains and the sea,

 

I was born on this holy ground.

And once ran wild and free,

Across wild meadows by the stream,

Between the mountains and the sea "

Poem

From the short and intense evening,

your light seeps into my face,

the smell of your hair is strong

like the smell of the sea

Time, just a bodily experience;

With the change of times...

Events unwarranted , undesirable

Mere glimpses as it appears,

Of ever-changing substance...

 

The viewer and the view

Change like a flicker

Every perception an illusion

Every perceiver the same

 

Certain is the state

Before birth and after death

Uncertain is the state

In between birth and death

 

Look at those changes

Like an entertainment

Scenes changing in a play

Queer, and a source of enjoyment

 

Open the inner eyes

Awaken the Soul

You are neither body nor a living being

Your power knows no bounds.

In the minds of mad men

Echoes the darkness of wars,

And in that dark grows the

Media images of death and destruction.

 

And from the shade of our limitations,

we will scream into the void, peace and freedom, then close our eyes and pray, his,

is not the hand that stops the ticking clock.

 

When the bidding is done, the madness will stop, but only for a while, and we will try and release this Dove with a broken wing, and call it peace.

 

Words by, Broken Beacon.

Spring has returned.

The earth is like a child

that knows poems.

R.M.Rilke

The park's has a collection of over 1,000 statues and 150 giant tableaux centered around Chinese folklore, legends, history, and Confucian ideology.

 

On the pillars is a poem couplet written by Yu Da Fu, aptly describing Haw Par Villa then.

 

In the quietness of the hills amidst the rolling white clouds

 

There stand a bright glorious house like blossoming flower petals

 

You can see the vast and clear blue ocean

 

And grazes into the and ripples of the sea waves in the far horizon

Every morning

the world

is created.

Under the orange

 

sticks of the sun

the heaped

ashes of the night

turn into leaves again

 

and fasten themselves to the high branches–

and the ponds appear

like black cloth

on which are painted islands

 

of summer lilies.

If it is your nature

to be happy

you will swim away along the soft trails

 

for hours, your imagination

alighting everywhere.

And if your spirit

carries within it

 

the thorn

that is heavier than lead–

if it’s all you can do

to keep on trudging–

 

there is still

somewhere deep within you

a beast shouting that the earth

is exactly what it wanted–

 

each pond with its blazing lilies

is a prayer heard and answered

lavishly,

every morning,

 

whether or not

you have ever dared to be happy,

whether or not

you have ever dared to pray.

  

~ Mary Oliver.

This is my favourite poem by Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff:

Schläft ein Lied in allen Dingen, die da träumen fort und fort, Und die Welt fängt an zu singen, Triffst du nur das Zauberwort

This is my TRANSLATION:

There sleeps a song in all things that are dreaming on and on, and the world starts singing when you only find the magic word.

Lies waiting a spark, to invigorate a flame

A spark pervasive, in darkness always

Every atom advancing, perpetual in ethereal waves

Every Sun an atom and every atom a sun

Though candles are different, with same fire they burn

Like atoms of life of vain personalities

Every living being, deriving motivating force

From the living ocean of power, the unlimited source

All bodies are mine, one and same consciousness pervading

'Beyond' is just what the senses can't perceive

Happy Caturday 11.1.2020 "Poem"

 

Nik Silver efex pro 2

 

A poem from Mr. Goethe:

 

Zum Fressen geboren, zum Kraulen bestellt

in Schlummer verloren gefällt mir die Welt.

Ich schnurr' auf dem Schoße, ich ruhe im Bett

in lieblicher Pose, ob schlank oder fett.

 

So gelte ich allen als göttliches Tier, sie stammeln

und lallen und huldigen mir, liebkosen mir

glücklich den Bauch, Öhrchen und Tatz

ich wählte es wieder, das Leben der Katz.

 

translated by deepl.com:

 

Born to eat, ordered to crawl

lost in slumber I like the world.

I purr on your lap, I rest in bed

in a lovely pose, whether slim or fat.

 

So I am considered to all as a divine animal, they stammer

and slur and worship me, caress me

happy belly, ears and paw

I chose it again, the life of a cat.

 

Happy Caturday! :-)

Así tituló el premio Nobel Juan Ramón Jiménez un poema dedicado a las amapolas. Uno de sus fragmentos dice:

Amapola del camino//roja como un corazón//yo te haré cantar al son//de la rueda del molino//yo te haré cantar, y al son//de la rueda dolorida,//te abriré mi corazón, ¡amapola de mi vida!

This is how Nobel Prize winner Juan Ramón Jiménez titled a poem dedicated to poppies. One of the fragments of it says:

Poppy of the road//red like a heart//I will make you sing to the sound//of the mill wheel//I will make you sing, and to the sound//of the aching wheel,//I will open my heart to you, poppy of my life!

Ah vastness of pines, murmur of waves breaking,

slow play of lights, solitary bell,

twilight falling in your eyes, baby doll,

snail of the earth, in you the earth sings!

 

In you the rivers sing, and my soul in them flees

as you desire it, and you send it where you will.

Mark for me my road on your brows of hope

and I in my delirium will release the flock of arrows.

 

Around me I see your waist of fog

and your silence accosts my troubled hours,

and you are with your transparent arms of stones

where my kisses anchor and my damp desire nests.

 

Ah your mysterious voice that love colors and tolls

in the resonant and dying evening!

Thus in deep hours over the fields I have seen

the ears of wheat tolling in the mouth of the wind.

 

Pablo Neruda

This first edition of the poems of Nathan Lanesford Foster was printed and bound in 1841 in the print shop in Philadelphia where my great-great-great grandfather worked at the time.

 

For those of you who know Philly: the print shop was located in what is now the 'Old City' section of Philadelphia, near the Betsy Ross House and Independence Hall.

 

More modern editions of this volume are available at select booksellers:

In real life, the horizontal dimension of the photo is about 2.5" (6.3cm)

 

HMM!

I've reached the 1000 photos limit (for non-Pro accounts, 950 public and 50 private or shared only with friends), and I have no more photos to erase, each of the ones that are still here represents a special moment for me or contains a special comment or tag, which I feel it's sincerely written.

This photo stream ends here, after almost eight years on Flickr, with wholehearted thanks for your friendship and encouragement.

I was lucky to meet fabulous people, learned so much, and my gratitude is immense.

I will return soon with a new photo stream and it will be a joy and an honor to regain my friends.

I will not erase this account, it is so precious to me for the reasons previously described, and I will return to it from time to time just to remember the good old days ❤

 

Best wishes to all,

Love

Hush babygirl, just lean against me,

I will hold you till you sleep, and your dreams set you free

Cuddle me sweet one, know your not alone anymore,

I will show you why they were all losers that came before,

Close your eyes sweet kitten, listen to the beat of my heart,

You have always been loved by me, even though we have been apart,

Take a deep breath my beautiful girl, let the calm take you away,

Know I am here forever and more, I am not those that left you at bay,

Say you love me, my little one, say you will love me forever more,

Know I will show you what true admiration is, you I do adore.

Sleep sweet my precious girl, let your beauty take flight,

Tomorrow is a new day, but until the new light,

Imagine your creativity, as it blossoms and it grows,

I have complete faith in you my good girl, faith only a true daddy knows

* Fantasía de la Alhambra 02. Vista, a través de un arco, de la Fuente del Patio de los Leones en el Palacio Nazarí de La Alhambra. Ciudad de Granada. Andalucía.

 

* A finales de 1370, Mohamed V emprendió la edificación de un nuevo palacio, conocido como Palacio de los Leones por las doce esculturas de la fuente que centra su patio.

La Fuente de los Leones tiene una taza dodecagonal y está ejecutada con una gran perfección técnica. Doce versos se hallan inscritos en ella. Seis de estos versos, Ibn Zamrak los aprovechó para la fuente. Esta obra de arte es a la vez un surtidor, y simboliza el poder real del sultán asociada con el suministro del agua, uno de los bienes más preciados por la cultura islámica.

 

Traigo de nuevo, a evocación, los versos de Ibn Zamrak dedicados precisamente a esta fuente.

 

Poema de la taza de los leones

 

«Bendito sea Aquél que otorgó al sultán Mohamed

las bellas ideas para engalanar sus mansiones.

Pues, ¿acaso no hay en este jardín maravillas

que Dios ha hecho incomparables en su hermosura,

y una escultura de perlas de transparente claridad,

cuyos bordes se decoran con orla de aljófar?

 

Plata fundida corre entre las perlas,

a las que semeja belleza alba y pura.

En apariencia, agua y mármol parecen confundirse,

sin que sepamos cuál de ambos se desliza.

¿No ves cómo el agua se derrama en la taza,

pero sus caños la esconden enseguida?

 

Es un amante cuyos párpados rebosan de lágrimas,

lágrimas que esconde por miedo a un delator.

¿No es, en realidad, cual blanca nube

que vierte en los leones sus acequias

y parece la mano del califa, que, de mañana,

prodiga a los leones de la guerra sus favores?

 

Quien contempla los leones en actitud amenazante,

(sabe que) sólo el respeto (al Emir) contiene su enojo.

¡Oh descendiente de los Ansares, y no por línea indirecta,

herencia de nobleza, que a los fatuos desestima:

Que la paz de Dios sea contigo y pervivas incólume

renovando tus festines y afligiendo a tus enemigos!»

 

(IBN ZAMRAK. Canto a la Alambra.)

 

It is a morning full of storms

in the heart of summer.

 

The clouds travel like white handkerchiefs bidding farewell,

the wind shakes them with its wandering hands.

 

Innumberable heart of the wind

beating upon our loving silence.

 

Buzzing amongst the trees, orquestral and divine,

like a language full of wars and songs.

 

A wind that swiftly steals away the fallen leaves

and deflects the beating arrows of the birds.

 

A wind that strikes her down in a foamless wave

and weightless substance, and fires bowing down.

 

It breaks and submerges its volume of kisses

fought at the gate of the summer wind.

  

Color The World Orange flic.kr/gm/3g65nd, Life Island (88, 133, 22) - Moderado

September — the first golden days of Autumn where the early morning air turns crisp, fruits are ripening in the hedgerows and the fragrant hop flowers hang in giant cascades in the hop gardens of England. Hop picking used to be a traditional seasonal labour for poor families who would travel from London's East End to the hop gardens in Kent, often walking the 35 miles and sleeping rough. By the 1950s, Mechanisation and cheap imports had brought an end to the tradition. The hop vine is a rather vigorous plant — I left mine to grow, as I wanted it the hops for photographing, but it's currently attempting to eat the garden! The title is from a poem, 'The Hop Garden' by Christopher Smart, written in 1752.

my dreams are filled with

abandoned places and

closed doors

and

realms that can't be explained in the real world.

and often,

I am curled up into a ball while Lewis screams in the background,

and still,

the echo of silence

reverberates off the walls

until I find an open door-

and ignore it.

“Gardens are poems

Where you stroll with your hands in your pockets.

Ou l'on se promene les mains dans les poches.)”

ELLA

 

Con cierta frecuencia escribimos

su nombre con saliva,

su nombre siempre cercano,

tan familiar

como un latido

y a la vez

tan ajeno

como un confín remoto.

 

Sabemos de ella

por propios y extraños,

sabemos, también,

de su infame capacidad para la réplica.

Es mar y atmósfera,

la costa de nuestra isla.

 

Algunas veces

la notamos pegada a la piel

y nos lacera cuando

quienes caen

—bajo su siniestra y terca alquimia—

son aquellos que nos donaron el aliento

o aquellos a quienes aliento concedimos.

 

Pero en ningún caso,

nunca, nunca, creemos

que se abrirá paso entre las multitudes

y nos señalará

con su dedo huesudo y franco

—en un día en que la ceniza

nublará soles y reliquias—,

dispersando la tropa de marañones

que nos escuda,

hincándonos el agudo filo de su quijada

y cerniendo sobre nosotros

su plumaje totémico

negro como la noche

y, como la noche cósmica,

eterno.

 

En ningún caso,

nunca, nunca, creemos

que nos llegará ella.

 

Ella, que es nuestra legítima

y única patria.

 

(Autora de la foto y del poema: Mayte Llera)

Leaning into the afternoons I cast my sad nets

towards your oceanic eyes.

 

There in the highest blaze my solitude lengthens and flames,

its arms turning like a drowning man's.

 

I send out red signals across your absent eyes

that move like the sea near a lighthouse.

 

You keep only darkness, my distant female,

from your regard sometimes the coast of dread emerges.

 

Leaning into the afternoons I fling my sad nets

to that sea that beats on your marine eyes.

 

The birds of night peck at the first stars

that flash like my soul when I love you.

 

The night gallops on its shadowy mare

shedding blue tassels over the land.

 

Pablo Neruda

"I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree"

M'enfilo pels pensaments

de les hores callades.

Pas a pas,

sobre la corda del silenci,

escric mots que perfilen

nous horitzons.

Enrere queden les creences

d'un temps que ja m'és llunyà.

Que n'és de savi el temps!

O som nosaltres que hem après

a desaprendre?

a desfer-nos de l'innecessari,

per tornar a l'essència,

per saber el que veritablement

ens cal...

The morns are meeker than they were,

The nuts are getting brown;

The berry's cheek is plumper,

The rose is out of town.

 

The maple wears a gayer scarf,

The field a scarlet gown.

Lest I should be old-fashioned,

I'll put a trinket on.

 

By Emily Dickinson, 1862

Here I am with you dear, no yesterday nor tomorrow

Hold on to my hand, close your eyes, see the glow

No stranger am I, or you, to this land

Got this birth, deputed, not for own lots to mend

 

See the green boughs stirred, by the gentle wind

Free the flowers dance, merrily they unwind

From interlocking leaves, by themselves, their own will

Never solitary you are here, why fear this lovely place

 

What is part of you, is part of everything around

See that part of whole, and the whole this Existence

The fire is always same, whatever makes it burn

Never does the light perish, nowhere does it go
