Wow, this is such a radical example of it's own structure! You used words in a way I have never before seen/read. A message is in there, like all art, but you made the words art in itself by how you arranged them. The form reminds me of an eye test... but it really is a reality check for our brains because us silly humans are always freaking out about every little thing that goes wrong in day to day life. Nice work. Very different!
lol a very well, origonal and yet entertaining poem. the whole mirrior image was very creative. i had to read it a couple of times but i think i get the meaning behind this, if not ill go crosseyed and read it again lol
Whoa... wait, what? This is pretty amazing. I like it, a lot. The mirror, the somewhat confusion, and the use of capital letters. Oooo, I read it a few more times, now I like it even more.
This is an excellent example of concrete poetry, as multi-layered physically as in meaning. It seems to me a very existentialist poem - without answers, but mind-expanding. I particularly liked the backwards brackets, which appeared to be the epitome of open-endedness! The near-perfect symmetry pulls the reader/viewer in to reflect on which direction to follow...
The structure of your poem is amazing. As above so below and yet in the mirror image the question is ; is it? Has everything simply reversed; or not? You have certainly left the reader guessing here. Brilliant! Words so simple but portrayed with such impact. It opens up the mind for thought and the room for discussion. What writer does not wish to elicit these things?
And then went down to the ship, Set keel to breakers, forth on the godly sea, and . . . Ezra Pound (TCOEP).
