such charming talk of likes and lucks

and why the water forms and ducks

don't explain

11/25/2022

hush now, honestly, don't explain

you have integrity to retain

I promised

11/24/2022

I promised that I'd square away

but when I didn't, hell to pay

the gift

11/23/2022

to sift and grind and earn the gift

to pass it forward to uplift

this healing touch

11/15/2022

this healing touch feeling so much

relief and peace, thermal release

rise and thank

11/14/2022

what day to rise and thank the soul

what feelings new this feeling whole

what chance

11/11/2022

beyond belief but does what chance

cause knowing vibes becoming dance

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.
