lonely face – taking pain
trying to approach passion-
a resurgence - bringing excitement,
a break, from the past
a vibrant little movement,
to nourish and enrich the new-
intensity.
The last - divided touches, jargon
text and comparisons,
history.
Only, connect to the context
drawing parallels and breaks,
-discontinuities- to link
parallels and metaphors
illustrate, illuminate critique
tools of imagination,
unavoidable repetitions
and glimpse the evolution,
no one can ignore!
a vibrant little movement,
ReplyDeleteto nourish and enrich the new-
intensity....nice...also the glimpsing the evolution no one can ignore..really like how you link this together..
Fun -- creative to use a News clipping, especially South Indian paper: The Hindu. I have a new close friend here in the USA that is Tamil. Before know him and his family, I had only really known of North India (the Western bias, I have since ashamedly learned). (I lived in Pakistan and North India for 2 years)
ReplyDeleteThanx
fantastic....esp that whole last section for me...
ReplyDeleteOnly, connect to the context

no one can ignore! ....it flows and thumps with beat as well....pretty cool...and thanks for showing your highlighted page too...well done...
I enjoyed this, Sreeja. To write an erasure poem from a newspaper article is quite an accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteYou did a brilliant job with this Sreeja. The last stanza was just so.. amazing.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
My mind is showing compete disconnect, I will have to learn about it before appreciating the concept behind this
ReplyDeleteAmazing ... each of your post is so perfect ... you are an epitome of perfection :-)
ReplyDeleteWell done Sreeja...such a nice flow with profound meaning,
ReplyDeleteThese are my favorite sections:
ReplyDelete"drawing parallels and breaks,
-discontinuities"
"illustrate, illuminate critique
tools of imagination,
unavoidable repetitions"
Ah -you've disconnected from the context and made a poem. k.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with the result from your source, very creative and stands well on its own. I couldn't see much of the original text (the picture wouldn't zoom) but I think you completely grasped the purpose of erasure poetry. I enjoyed this very much!
ReplyDeleteThis shows how any source can inspire in this form of poetry!
ReplyDeleteMade from a news clipping... even better than I'd have imagined. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBased on a newspaper article makes it contemporary Nicely done Sreeja!

You've done it brilliantly, Sreeja! I never knew such a form even existed. Wow! One learns new things each day! :)
