rhythmizomenoid (10:42:51 PM): Hey Crystal!

Watermellon72 (10:42:59 PM): Hi!

Watermellon72 (10:43:15 PM): I wanted to check with you on my definition project

rhythmizomenoid (10:43:30 PM): sure, hit me with the link

Watermellon72 (10:44:17 PM): I'm defining poetry, and I wanted to do with in a poem... this is just the beginning http://idh4000rhetoricsofrhythm.pbwiki.com/February-28-Blog-1

Watermellon72 (10:44:28 PM): I thought you would appreciate the creativity

rhythmizomenoid (10:45:37 PM): grabbing link....

rhythmizomenoid (10:45:41 PM): pasting link.....

rhythmizomenoid (10:46:23 PM): yes, fantastic

Watermellon72 (10:46:38 PM): yay!

rhythmizomenoid (10:46:40 PM): and build on the repetition of terms....with links

Watermellon72 (10:47:01 PM): can do

Watermellon72 (10:47:11 PM): I think this could be a lot of fun

rhythmizomenoid (10:47:11 PM): create little eddies that link back to your poem-spine,

rhythmizomenoid (10:47:39 PM): and then surprise us with a link to another definition, elsewhere....

Watermellon72 (10:47:53 PM): I want to referance wallace stevens and all sorts of poets who also speak to the process of creating poetry

rhythmizomenoid (10:48:06 PM): think in terms of tabbed-poetry, definition's "topographical" (space) dimension

rhythmizomenoid (10:48:17 PM): OMG love Wallace Stevens

Watermellon72 (10:48:28 PM): Of modern poetry!

rhythmizomenoid (10:48:31 PM): I will jam with you on that

rhythmizomenoid (10:48:56 PM): heck, let's jam a poem right now

Watermellon72 (10:49:01 PM): ok

Watermellon72 (10:49:04 PM): your crazy

rhythmizomenoid (10:49:25 PM): On the Road Home

Watermellon72 (10:49:34 PM): ?

Watermellon72 (10:49:39 PM): not familiar

rhythmizomenoid (10:49:44 PM): Connoisseur of Chaos

rhythmizomenoid (10:49:59 PM): I'm rattling off Wallace Stevens' poem titles

Watermellon72 (10:50:09 PM): Man on the Dump

Watermellon72 (10:50:17 PM): Loved it!

Watermellon72 (10:50:24 PM): Idea of Order at Key West

rhythmizomenoid (10:50:36 PM): Poem Written At Morning: "The senses paint by metaphor"

Watermellon72 (10:50:42 PM): I've only been able to study a little bit of his work

rhythmizomenoid (10:51:10 PM): Add this to Rhetoric

rhythmizomenoid (10:51:52 PM): "It is posed and it is posed" by repetition

rhythmizomenoid (10:52:00 PM): Wallace knows

rhythmizomenoid (10:52:11 PM): what "in nature merely grows"

rhythmizomenoid (10:52:44 PM): I like this line: Oral to written

Lost in translation

Watermellon72 (10:53:01 PM): I'm bad with quotes

rhythmizomenoid (10:53:09 PM): the second extends the timing, a time-stretch

Watermellon72 (10:53:17 PM): but I love the imagery that his poems bring to mind

rhythmizomenoid (10:53:49 PM): his selections, his choice of words, seem to me to be very careful

Watermellon72 (10:53:53 PM): I can't get the image of the spirit on the beach out of my head

rhythmizomenoid (10:54:06 PM): and informed by a classical training, perhaps in Latin. patterning there

rhythmizomenoid (10:54:14 PM): "notice the patterns...." yes, aye!

Watermellon72 (10:54:24 PM): His word choice is almost nonsencical

Watermellon72 (10:54:36 PM): yet they are beautiful

rhythmizomenoid (10:54:46 PM): he does play sense/nonsense so nicely, yes

Watermellon72 (10:55:14 PM): bubbling bassoons comes to mind

Watermellon72 (10:55:24 PM): at least I think that's how he puts it

Watermellon72 (10:56:16 PM): not how the sound of bassoon's would typically be described, but yet it somehow makes sence

rhythmizomenoid (10:57:04 PM): http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=23227

rhythmizomenoid (10:57:52 PM): I listen to this, and I like the staccato, would even add a few beats to the phrase, a couple more twists

Watermellon72 (10:57:57 PM): interesting...

rhythmizomenoid (10:57:59 PM): perhaps,

rhythmizomenoid (10:58:36 PM): either, welcome this as "meter" and use it in a pattern of lines, or....

rhythmizomenoid (10:58:46 PM): adapt it to your liking in Audacity,

rhythmizomenoid (10:59:09 PM): then amend lines of poetry to this meter, yes?

rhythmizomenoid (10:59:12 PM): just jammin', ya

Watermellon72 (10:59:17 PM): still trying ot figure out audacity

Watermellon72 (10:59:22 PM): I know you are

Watermellon72 (10:59:31 PM): I don't expect anything less from you!

rhythmizomenoid (10:59:59 PM): I'm close to getting a how-to on audacity together.....it's really, really easy

rhythmizomenoid (11:00:19 PM): you can just download freesounds (log in first),

Watermellon72 (11:00:21 PM): for you!

rhythmizomenoid (11:00:20 PM): then,

rhythmizomenoid (11:00:25 PM): file-open,

rhythmizomenoid (11:00:28 PM): then,

rhythmizomenoid (11:00:31 PM): trope away....

Watermellon72 (11:00:34 PM): we're not all as web-savy

Watermellon72 (11:00:45 PM): I don't even have an mp3 player!

rhythmizomenoid (11:00:51 PM): it's ok!

rhythmizomenoid (11:00:54 PM): no worries

Watermellon72 (11:01:32 PM): I'm not worried

Watermellon72 (11:01:40 PM): I'll figure it out

Watermellon72 (11:01:55 PM): and what I can't figure out, I have no problem asking about

rhythmizomenoid (11:02:03 PM): yes, exactly

Watermellon72 (11:03:21 PM): well then I'm going to get back to studying for my midterm...
