 Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere)arranging
a window,into which people look(while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here)and

changing everything carefully

spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and from moving New and
Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there)and

without breaking anything.

How do you move a fraction of a flower or place an inch of air there? Without the image, I would have had no idea, but having seen, now it seems so easy.

Exactly what Erin said. And how did you do the words? A font, typed? They're beautiful.

I love the vibrancy of the colors, how the text overlays itself and the image itself, the child's hand reaching for the flower...just great!

The way that you've constructed your image, in bits and fragments, divided by color and words, echoes the structure of the poem so effectively.

Love it! So perfectly paired. I'm all over the writing as an overlay. Excellent graduated colors, too.

yes it works nicely the way ee's magical words go in and out of the imagery he attempts to recreate. I did think it was funny though to see his poem in a handwriting font, since he was so concerned about typesetting and how his poems looked on the printed page. This kind of becomes the poem behind the poem, the dream that became the poem. I think you should have gone all the way and scanned in some actual handwriting. Ha... you can save that for when you get a commission! hahaha

Brilliant. I forget how many wonderful poets have come and gone, yet their words linger. This is such a perfect venue for resurrecting their work and then adding how we see it, so we can share with our buddies. Wonderful use of complementary colors. The bright yellow and deep cobalt. YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!
