thunder from

5/17/2025

thunder from my guitar comes envelopes you

wonders of the world roar inside of you

for gods by myths

5/16/2025

for gods by myths drive man forget

the less enchanting parts of it

what's weird

5/15/2025

what’s weird about the things they say

was what we discussed yesterday

another burst

5/13/2025

another burst of vernal bloom

reminds us that hopes must resume

speaking of

5/11/2025

speaking of patterns we embrace

those overcame those we erase

lonely anger

5/10/2025

the lonely anger of that guy

who'll never read this never try

been feelin'

5/8/2025

been feelin' believin' in you

my love is lovin' bein' true

when next we meet

5/7/2025

when next we meet you'll see I've grown

and lived the depths of what was known

petals of metaphor

5/5/2025

feeling my raging desire for
existence, primordial, more
than this moment, joyfully more
than Dionysian art or
fragrant petals of metaphor
that delight the senses and pour
it on to completely adore
everything that came before,
including all the wrongs that tore
us to pieces, the hurts that wore
us down, the struggles that we bore
while pushing through into life, nor
those we feigned to simply ignore
as if somehow, we could explore
new realms while avoiding our core
truths, until bold moves now restore
hope, here these knocks upon the door
instill faith and family lore
shared with an attentive care for
future generations and more,
the universal will

to receive your light

5/3/2025

to receive your light and refract

t'wards love and truth makes real impact

instructive tongues

5/2/2025

instructive tongues spoke against spite

yet charged me to advance despite

operate lean

4/29/2025

operate lean, minimize burn

actively qualify, adapt, & learn

the looper

5/15/2023

the looper keeps it bottled up

nostalgic that what will erupt

you look

5/14/2023

you look and then you don’t look

but it does and doesn’t matter what

brightens you

5/12/2023

I see your light lighten as sunlight

brightens you enlightened one

porters

5/5/2023

when personalizing orders

I tend to pour my peer’s’ porters

solipsist

5/4/2023

with her craters and eclipses

she can act like a solipsist

pedantic

5/2/2023

it isn’t always pedantic

because sometimes it’s romantic

some flowers

5/1/2023

some flowers they get no respect

whatever the moments expect

coffee sips

4/29/2023

your delicate and fresh full lips

your joyful eyes and coffee sips

too soon

4/28/2023

too soon he said you have to prove

what old remnants you will remove

how water ripples

4/27/2023

how water ripples in the brook

sometimes I cannot help but look

she didn't get

4/25/2023

she didn't get what I meant when

I twisted the plot once again

did I mishear

4/24/2023

did I mishear or did you not

really express your lovely thought

like treasures

4/23/2023

ideas forming in your mind

like treasures for your heart to find

about the gardenpomes

The gardenpomes project began in 2014, as Instagram posts @jasonaeiou tagged #gardenpomes (IG); and tweeted #gardenpomes

The photos are taken in my garden with a smartphone, with some exceptions.

The poems then reflect what is captured in the photo, what is felt or thought that day, what is imagined through looking.

The poems are scribed immediately after the photo is taken. All initially take form as tetrameter couplets and then play with iambic trochaic spondaic anapestic dactylic rhythms, idioms and pearls.
