Being and Becoming
Respect dream objects:
Purple turtles, blue canoes,
Saffron castles—All!
Respect dream objects:
Purple turtles, blue canoes,
Saffron castles—All!
Flights of ideas:
One, two, three, infinity---
We ride star power.
One, two, three, infinity---
We ride star power.
Some are lifted, some
Climb, some are highborn, never
Feel the downward depths.
Climb, some are highborn, never
Feel the downward depths.
That drastic driver---
Before his recent seachange
He was his machine.
Before his recent seachange
He was his machine.
So much depends on
Blue men with blue machines who
Build new blue houses!
Blue men with blue machines who
Build new blue houses!
When I’m no longer
Useful, paint me red, make me
A live objet d’art!
Useful, paint me red, make me
A live objet d’art!
John Laue has authored six published books including his newest poetry volume, Å Confluence of Voices Revisited (2019 Futurecycle Press). Photos of Laue’s have appeared in literary journals and earned special recognition in juried, international art competitions sponsored by Light, Space, and Time and other galleries. He also matches photos with three line 5-7-5 syllable poems similar to haiku in pairs he calls Poemages. Series of these Poemages comment on Humanity, Nature, Being and Becoming, Ecology, and other significant topics.
