Why not? Why is that any less legitimate a stylistic concern than imagist poets not wanting to sound too flowery or romantic?

The Imagist stuff can get a little OTT, but this one is lovely and I admire and am inspired by WCW who was a physician and wrote on the side (see also Wallace Stevens)

I'm a newbie to #toptweettuesday but I love trying to improve my #imagist writing ability. The prompt #revelation

I bit the bruise
got rid of it first
the texture gave

the taste though
more or less
the same

A new short offering written for TTT on themes of "journey", "edge" and "revelation".

'Instead of milkweed, a monarch clings to the windshield'

Thank you @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social for the inspiration 🤍

Instead of milkweed, a monarch clings to the windshield I didn’t ask for any of this: Grey motion-pills in the glove compartment. Rain that hasn't arrived above the reservoir. World banks diminishing in rearview. An hour away, fists of waterlilies brushing the breast of a swan — a collision of tenderness. It happens. Our egos now decades apart. A new economy elsewhere. At the borders where his face was, flame trees & lemon-groves strung into lozenges of light, rapeseed blazing along the highway with no limit — as if I’m in control. Vikki C.

🎺 Ta-dah! pecospoet.com has had a facelift: same old poet, new digs. It’s now home base for The Sacred Clown’s Modern West Trilogy, plus a few Imagist photos for good measure. Keep yer boots on. 🦉

Imagist poets remind me a lot of Impressionist painters, using words instead of a brush & paint.

Thanks! I did consider putting them the other way round but I think it is better this way. In the Imagist anthology I read that contains actual examples of this the metrical versions are at the back

Achievement unlocked: I have written two poems intended to be read together
Des Imagistes I In the old days You might write a poem In traditional style And give it to an imagist. They would cross out two thirds Of your words And give it back With a smile, saying "Isn't that better?" And you would have to agree If you were bold, you might appeal "It has no meter And rarely rhymes So could you tell me precisely how Is this a poem now?" The imagists had considered this And had their answer ready: "Cadence, my friend." And again You would have to agree It was a humiliation And imagism did not last But they were onto something They liberated us From something Des Imagistes II In days of old, when poets were poets You'd write a piece of lyric verse Which scanned, as is traditional And give it to an imagist Who'd then cross out about two thirds Of your (you thought) well chosen words And then they'd give them back to you With an enthusiastic smile "It's better now, right?" they would say And naturally you would agree If you were bold, you might appeal "It has no meter anymore And even rhymes less than before Could you explain precisely how Is what we have a poem now?" The imagists considered this And had this party-line reply "The cadence is the thing, my friend" And sheepishly you'd find again That you had to agree with them These interactions were no fun And imagism did not last But one must say they had a point And even liberated us From chains we did not know we had

Entire essay?🙃 An actual scene he saw. Imagist poetry. (I grew up on a farm.) Civilization as we move away from being agrarian? Ordinariness seen as extraordinary? A baptized common tool, yet red& link between nature &man. White chickens/food source, just being. Perception? Don’t overlook laborers?
