Thank you for noticing, Steven. If the vowels look tame then they are probably (and gratefully) just resting! When I think of it, though, it’s the untamed ‘issuing forth’ quality of vowels I depend on, so I’m wearing them more like a talisman … or they’re wearing me!
Swarmed by the elements of your writings your drawing of self appears unsure, anticipating perhaps a sudden textual sting or habitation of inner cells giving birth to cocooned poetry. I am blown away by this wonder Jana and ask permission to reblog on Art Rat in near future. Superb work my friend.
Wow..thanks John. And thanks for asking about a re-blog. Sure, if you wish.
Just a little contemplation going on here though… You know that story John, where a sentence is passed around and by the time it reaches the last person, it has little semblance to the original? Letters scattered all over the place…. ? Vowels rising up from the heart?
Thanks Chris…I’m upgrading the operating system on my Mac and it means some of my programs are no longer viable…including the one I write on. Yikes…! But I’m plowing through all the steps and decisions and will be adjusting to new programs, blah blah blah….In the meantime the pencil is becoming my best friend.

You may have met Jana through my BLOG TOUR post and her response. Jana is an explorer of who we are and why, in poetry, art and brilliant writing. I loved her textual self-portrait and couldn’t resist sharing it here. Visit Jana’s blog, ‘Poetry of Light’ and enjoy her other amazing work.

totally beautiful self portrait. Is that necklace decorative jewelry you are wearing after ‘taming’ the sounds?

How I love the letters winding themselves into sounds around her head. Beautiful.
