the looper

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

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.
