Notes: the Douris Cup with the image of Jason being vomited out by the Golden Fleece protecting dragon is in the museum collection of the Vatican...having noted that, I noted there is a traveling show of Vatican museum pieces currently at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library...I don't think the cup is in the show,  if so, it would be a must go!...and I was mulling over something I read in the study of Robert Creeley...he and Charles Olsen put there heads together and came up with something called 'process poetry'...brb...check that...'projective verse'...

quote

Composition by field opposes the traditional method of poetic composition based on received form and measure. Olson sees the challenge of the transference of poetic energy from source to poem to reader, and the way in which that energy shifts at each juncture, as particularly of concern to poets who engage in composition by field, because the poet is no longer relying on a received structure as a propulsive force.

and I got the sense from that, that the actual writing of a poem was to be considered, and I thought, oh, they are talking about like casting a spell, and so I googled up 'magic'...writing at first, was spell casting...for sometime I need to study Arthur C. Clarke and his notion of 'magic'!...anyway, I got to thinking that the poems we see are just the left over 'husks' of some spell the poet was casting when writing a poem...a collection of poems somewhat like a book of seashells...poems are seashells, the soft spell casting mollusk long gone...hmmph...written poems have their own beauty, as do the Pindar Odes...but they're commemorative...anyway, I went to search 'magic poetry', and found a nice poem, Belief In Magic by Dean Young...and on reading it I went into a funk...that poem reads too easy, as mine do too...hmmph...and from that I noted in the google list, Charlie Sheen quotes...and went further into a funk...his quotes are pretty good, and have that 'projective verse' punch to them...clearly, he's been to the Eleusinian Mysteries, and has an advantage...I had a poem in mind the other day, and lost it...it was to be about the news, and how I could push back at it...on my notepad, I wrote, Push!? to try and remember something of it...and that went together with some doggerel I was doing after Charlie Sheen...I'd write a line or two, and add 'Charlie Sheen'...the lines were just any old thing that came to mind, the more sardonic and vulgar the better!...Charlie Sheen is a talented actor...and the 'winning' persona he projected, real or not, I say not, as he has family, charities, sympathies and such, took hold for awhile...much fun!...and as I was doing these Charlie Sheens, endless they can be like Burma Shaves...the moon is fun I love your bun Charlie Sheen...eeesh...anyway, as I was doing them, it came to me that Donald Trump is using Sheen's schtick, his act, his...crowd control, media manipulation...it's the same technique!...so I threw Trump into Push, and added a little Olsen typography with ?! and Back...and there you have it, Charlie Sheen...ral....oh, spell checking I find that 'stich' is a word for a line of poetry!...
