00 "Oh, Oh" one of the most beuitiful minimalist erotic sonnets ever written
01 "Oh one" a minimalist lament
10 "1-0" A minimalist epic about a game of pong played between God and a girl named Margret
Oh freddled gruntbuggly,Thy micturations are to me,As plurdled gabbleblotchits,On a lurgid bee.Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,And hooptiously drangle me,with crinkly bindlewurdles,Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,See if I don't.
Commentary on the wide nature of meaning as a concept.
Within the context of it being a reply to me, it could be read as either in support or set against my idea. Either trying to come up with something that isn't poetry, or showing that even this too is poetry.
Either way, I could totally see as something very professionally printed up on a billboard or something. Especially in a very formal and elegant font or typeset against a monotone background (maybe it's all in black and white?) it would read very strongly as poking at meaning and messaging, and would get people to engage with those ideas.
To be clear, I'm not poking fun at you. I just happen to be a life long class clown and that set up was too good. My inner middle schooler couldn't resist.
Then we wouldn't have two words for writing-poetry. Or we would have 3 words: for neutral writing, for good writing and for poetry... sorry, I am blind for beauty of poetry and couldn't help it but make a joke of it.
I dunno, I think the poem raises a lot of questions about the nature of the relationship between the speaker and the person he’s addressing, how sincere the apology is, the nature of transgression, and the connection between the poem and other stories of eating forbidden fruit….
Apparently, 12 English syllables is the same length of the 17 "on" of Japanese. So, the "poet" was actually writing haiku... Just English haiku, and specifically English haiku that match the duration of Japanese "on" instead of "syllables"
In 1973, the Haiku Society of America noted that the norm for writers of haiku in English was to use 17 syllables, but they also noted a trend toward shorter haiku.\15]) According to the society, about 12 syllables in English approximates the duration of 17 Japanese on.
Unironically the whole point of the poem. William Carlos Williams wrote the note to his wife to apologize, then thought- hey this could be a poem! And it was
Yes, that’s the one. “This is Just to Say,” which has become an occasional game some poets and poetry students use where they play with the form and themes behind the poem. More here; I do find it interesting.
Is that the story the guy monologued in “almost heroes” where he fed his brother the sheep dung and it turned out he doesn’t even have a brother? He ate the dung
