Seasons

Four panels, each representing a season, with one haiku / small poem on each. Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer. — **Seasons**. Small poems & digital collage by sb. Text of poems below. Full credits at flickr. *I’m thinking of posting some old collages, with some old poems. Is that a good idea, or not-so-good? Sometimes when I look back at old work, it inspires me to get back at it.*

fall
     september night 
     waiting 
     for the moon

winter
     winter coming 
     in spiked boots 
     the taste of nettles 

spring 
     who regrets 
     the passing of winter 
     the coming of spring? 

summer
     summer solstice 
     longing for someone 
     who doesn't long back

autumn, Digital Collage, haiku, Poems, small poems, spring, summer, winter

Artificial Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. For me, writing is thinking, and I prefer to do my own. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

Poems

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
