humanscardboard boxes and
obtuse metaphors.

that's what we seem to be.

our gorgeous neon skeletons,
calcium and carbohydrates and marrow
to the very core,
we drip color
shine a million shades of rainbow-

faceted, facetious like diamonds,
i suppose, full of
wheat thins and artificial flavoring
somehow, we're perfect

and we're so good at this,
at settling ourselves down with
our pretty-ugly-big-little average mates
in a beautiful little-big cardboard box

and we self-medicated little fools,
angels that we may be, to say love,

i think we manage just fine.

Let Me Sail Away Forever (Clive Blake Cornish Poem) Phoetry - Visual Poetry - Concrete Poetry - Poetry

Let me sail away forever,
Let me cast off from the shore,
Let the swirling mists engulf me,
Till reality rules no more,
Let me sail the mighty oceans,
Let me pass by cliffs anew,
Let me navigate a passage
Through the rolling veil of blue,
Let my anchor never hold me,
Let my sails always billow out,
Let me sail away forever, and
May I never turn about.

This 'phoem' is titled "Let Me Sail Away Forever” (Clive Blake Cornish Poem) Phoetry – Visual Poetry – Concrete Poetry - Poetry,
from the 'Phoetry Book', View Points and Points of View".

I describe Phoetry as a fusion of poetry and photography.
I came up with the Phoetry concept in 1994.
Phoetry can also be described as Visual Poetry and loosely described as Concrete Poetry.

The poetry is by Cornish Poet Clive Blake [link]
photography by Chris Robbins MPAGB, AFIAP. [link]
