Hi TqB
I thought I did include and expand the "experience of consulting the I Ching"?
To me it felt like you expanded the circumstances of ‘why’ but not the experience itself.
Mmmmm, I'd prefer not.
Fair enough, but having January evokes New Year’s resolutions and such like.
what about "record"?
I don’t think so (you’re not actually recording are you? Perhaps a little bit about the mechanics of using the I Ching here, for those that don’t know?)
I toss wheat pennies,
for my corporeal future
search in the broken
or unbroken lines
…
I will confess I lifted both the ravine metaphor and the dragons blood from the I Ching,
So I assumed
I don't know if that counts as plagiarism, I'm not sure.
Wouldn’t have thought so.
In some ways it feels like it, but I'm using them in completely different ways than the Ching does, and they are the heart of the poem for me.
Yes, the difficulty I had is that, not knowing the I Ching, this is lost on me. Is there some way to make it a bit clearer that there are N’s metaphors/interpretations, not simply quotations?
So if it is, I might as well take this poem out and shoot it (sorry....been watching Deadwood).
I agree with bryn on this one. Put down the gun and get back to the poem.
Best, Knot.
