The Graphic Sonnet (Sonet Desinée) by Lincøln, K
January 5th, 2008 7:09 AM / Location: 34.251170,-118.3570That there was my graphic sonnet.
And here it is in a more standard format. But the format above is really the one I want represented. This here, is just so you can see the phrasing of my poem. This is only here so you can see the feet.
And here is the comment I posted on http://poetryfoundation.org/ I can't wait to see if they love or hate it.
One still
So my Praxis has a picture.

Thanks. It was very difficult to wrap my brain around. How was I going to get my feet across to an audience without WORDS to rhyme with? Then I saw your amazing completion (go vote for it right now it's so awesome), and a door opened that let the light in. Once the door was cracked, I could then step through it. So thank you for opening the door.
Absolutely. I can't wait to see completions that tackle the concept in an entirely different way- you saw Olly and Beverly Penn's completion, yes?
who is the humble subject of the poem?
betta watch out, lincoln... ink is the sonnet regulator.
but this is v well done. seems the 'video' is as a spoken sonnet... the larger layout is as seeing it written. you clearly worked to get the parallels/symmetry in wrt the photo order, but since i viewed the video first, i didn't see that initially. it did flow very easily, though, being in that strict format... perhaps there is something to be said for convention.
Yeah, I knew it would be tough to see the feet with just one viewing, which is why I added the larger version with all of the parts all visible at once, much like Ink Tea did so masterfully.
(and yes, I saw Oliver and Beverly's completion, but I like not using words at all. Let the pictures tell the story.
And that is my nephew starring in mine. I used him, because he's easy on the eyes.
Geeorsh. I'm not the regulator. I just had this inspiration of this task done with a sculpture, and once again struck with sadness that I did so many of these tasks a long time ago.
I'd love to see this done with sculpture. I can't wrap my brain around how that'd be done, though. But I'm thinking about it.
I've got it in my head, I just lack the talent required to enact it. And the time. And the materials.
Such is living life from the inside of my head.
Really?
Because I know being an artist does.
If that's true, then my sexual appeal is going to go off the charts soon. My Drive has only just begun.
I actually didn't post that comment above....hrmmmm....
That is very interesting...
I wonder who's dressing up and walking around in Eddy skin.
There is no "standard format". Two completions with the same concepts for rhyme and line scheme do not mean there is "standard format"- there are no instructions for how to represent any literary concepts in the task instructions.
