Sarah is the host for dVerse today. Sarah has asked us to write a poem about the experience of visiting a market.
Today’s poem is in blitz form, as I think it gives a sense of activity and can cover a lot of description in it, both of which are needed for the market experience.

Nice use of brevity for each line, Jade. Is that a concrete poem?(very E.E. Cummings~ and Edward Lear~. ish) It matches up so very well with the painting too

Thank you for your thoughtful comments, Larry. Click on that link for blitz form and it shows the format. Blitz forms are stream of consciousness and a lot of fun to write.

Blitz poetry is new to me. It looks like fun. Even the shape of the poem looks like a vegetable. Stream of consciousness poems do rev up the energy.

It is fun. Yes it’s an asparacarroturnimato, a hybrid. Glad you enjoyed it. I bet you could come up with a very entertaining blitz poem.

A sensory overload of going to the market. I like the photo and form.

It’s funny you should describe it that way, Grace, as it is how I feel when I go to the market on the busy days. It’s too much. I prefer going on the slower days.

I do love the illusion of community at a market. Fun write

Hi Sabio, long time no see. Nice to see you again. When you say the illusion of community, do you think that market-goers aren’t a community? I tend to think that those who choose to shop at the fresh food market are.

The blitz poem is a new form for me, Jade, which I’d like to try some time when I’m back writing full-time again. It’s evocative and busy and I like the repetition and pace. I especially enjoyed the sweet peas and strawberries, and the candles!

Thank you, Kim, yes it is a fun form. In the case of this one I was thinking market as I wrote it, but another fun way to do it is pick any simple phrase for the first line, then let it wander where it will.

Hi Jade! Very wonderful work! Honest expression shared openly. I am having an existential crisis tonight. I invite you to come visit me, cross my bridge of dreams, and listen to Joni sing like an angel!

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Thank you for the invitation on the bridge of dreams. Just read it and commented on your profound poem. And yes, Joni’s accompaniment on the bridge walk is perfect.
