Well, as the month progresses I am indulging (out of desperation sometimes) in experiment. Not all work -- This poem was a bit problematic for me, the stream of consciousness vibe was reflected my new found love of Kurt Vile and I was 'word free' that day so I went for a walk and played the William Burroughs 'Walking With Colors ' Game. In which you pay particular attention to a certain color, Burroughs would make notes of emotional responses and thoughts associated with the color and the object it was -- So I do not have a painters chromatology - Can't tell you the difference between Burnt Sienna and Lemon Yellow and Canary Yellow -- So I decided to number the 'Yellows' instead -- From The First experienced To The fundamentals which I put as negatives because they help create the experienced moment;-) Hope that helps! Not a huge fan of this piece but maybe in reworking, later. Appreciate the feedback! Juris Quote thegateless.org
badger11 Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Thanks for the explanation. Like the 'walking with colours' notion. Let me share a yellow with you... Quote
dr_con Posted April 25, 2019 Author Posted April 25, 2019 That was the BEST! TY Phil;-) Quote thegateless.org
