Poems?

Out of respect and reverence for muses, poets and poetry, a clarification. We debated naming what follows as poems, recognizing how different legitimized poetry can read and sound from what is offered here. We call them poems mainly because the words and paragraphs are arranged in the form of verse and stanza, not prose. Rather than literary expressions, they are short writings in which we play with ideas, images, sensations, perceptions, emotions, rhythm and rhyme. It is more or less obvious that some were composed with children in mind. Apropos of the title and theme of this series, the stanzas are peppered with commas, as prompts for pausing.

In Free Form Foliage Poems, the writings are presented in free verse. As in the Huerto Haiku collection, the poems presented under Elements, Embodied, Ethereal, and Essences tolerated being translated and transplanted from English to Spanish, or from Spanish to English. The ones we offer here under English are so rooted in language that they resisted translation.
