To an extent I agree.
1, is a bit tricksy - pseudo poetry I believe one harsh critic described it - lot's of runs and triples.
2 is a part process piece to experiment with word placement in a free form structure - the grammar police were unhappy with that
3 is in partly a reinforcement of the process contained within 2, and partly about the sounds I am looking for, and also rhythm - it's something I was experimenting with in the After Satie piece - and is a very useful exercise in preventing yourself from trying to impose meaning too early in the process.
I am aware that 3 is a heresy among many, but for those who get the modernist abstraction of the relationship between the reader and the poem it is proving rather popular.
Which leads to the question, to satisfy the literalists, what is a dreak sun?
Which is something I am pondering, when not picking up on the useful lessons the process is teaching me with regard to other work.... for instance the poem I wrote today, Dusk, which is a literalists ideal poem.
