  1. this is a .png file of my playing with space like we see in the battery poems.

    I encourage others to play with space, words, and meaning as well.

  2. "Mime my memory with mines of myth..." I love it!

    It fascinates me that people doing this kind of poem can come up with such interesting and different layout patterns. You could give the same paragraph of poetry or prose to two people, tell them to construct it visually (in the same manner you have) and get two poems that read completely differently.
    What motivates someone to split a line at a certain word? To put some words left of center, others right?
    It's like a Rorschach inkblot test... what do you see in the layout?
