Escapism

beach bunny








beach bunny






it's rare to find a
cute bunny on a beach
with a tropical rainforest
climate


often the
price for the
oceanside homes
skyrocket


but why?


I'd like to contemplate
but escape
is just a word that
resemble a getaway


yet the
dreaded city streets
in my town
seemed a trap


are we all
getting stuck
just like that?


—That's what's up



where else
would I want
to go, if you may ask


It's not that my
already dimmed skin
wanted to bask


in the amber sky
but this can also sound
like doing a task


And if you OR I shall
cry one day when we
figured it is a cask


a picturesque view
it is not anymore
something that we can

still mask

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Reedited 4.)  01.07.2023 [03:02-03:16] (Reedited my grammar for this Notes/Comments Box/Section for clarification.)  3.)  01.02.2023 [21:32];  2.)  01.02.2023 [09:54];  1.)  01.02.2023 [00:58]

 

 

1.)  This time's reedition consists of one misworded adjective from the first line in the following verse:

 


"dainty backdrops
confirming variety"


(I previously supposed that I had used the correct word form for my concept that I hoped that could fit the right mental abstract while in that spur of the moment or in the middle of composing each lines.  But, I think, I got distracted or, for another reason, got plainly misused a proper word for what I was meaning to imply, which must be something else other than "dainty"..  Later, that was changed to the adjective "zany"...but I forgot the exact word in English really..and have muddled through. Upon that realization, at the time of keying this in 01/02/2023, I reverted to its original wording.)  

 

2.)  Momentarily, the poem's spacing (& other visual elements) were decidedly reedited (thinking how those, i.e. "visual", elements can cross artistic boundaries and or how its intersubjective features or how it relates to other multiperspective notions in meaning-making & sense-making..(such as in the case of concrete poetry vs. visual poetry) and as also pertaining to intertextuality—most of all, impact its totality (quality, et al).  Thank you for reading on.

 

3.)  Third reedition consisted some spacing readjustments (of the verses).. and, earlier or in the prior change, the addition of pictures derived from the public domain.

I have added the 'Old English, German, w/ Dutch relation' in the title to specify some word derivations and or their etymologies.  Then, I italicized the word "acorn" because it holds a special meaning to me and that's the word that had been emphasized to have Old English, German, & Dutch derivations.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER:  This poem is an abstract idea and does not pertain to any particular person (i.e., like most art, they are subject to interpretation, as well).



Reedited on 12.18.2019 02:21:  I simply had added to the hashtags the following words/phrases:  Tagalog, Tagalog Poetry, Tagalog poem;


Reedited on 12.18.2019 (typographical/structural emendation of "clearer (" supplanted for "clearer", the omission of a parenthesis because of the doubling of that parenthesis);

Reedited/revised/emended/reupdated on 12.17.2019 (I've just added unto this Author's Notes/Comments and paraphrased it as I went, including the Legal Disclaimer above); 12.13.2019 (please see the consequent edits below) & 12.14.2019:  (a subsequent reedition/revision/emendation due to noticing a misspelled/mistyped "relat", upon my usual incidental reviews of my poems, then supplanting for "relate" in this Author's notes/comments.  Meanwhile, the first reedition was just about an incorrect Tagalog phrase, "Anong gagawin...", which have been supplanted for "Ano'ng gagawin...?", to make the meaning clearer & or to clearly relate what I was meaning to say with the last line in the verse—yet to exact what it is not necessarily its signification).  Texts affect meaning so I have to change it the way that I did for clarity.  Thank you for reading on.

Unknowing Escapists

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Reedited on 06.10.2020:  I have noticed an incorrectly input hashtag term "correlative objective" which was actually "objective correlative" (this was what I have really meant & the two words comprising the term/phrase possibly got switched over for some unknown reason while reediting it during the last).  I've also committed some other huge errors, recently discovered, in regards to re-editing in one instance where a huge part of the Author's Notes/Comments got deleted, with just the remainder of it showing when discovered as of late (also for an unknown reason, but possibly for hitting some buttons mistakenly within the interface with such a small screen that which I am using).  Second of all, I re-edited the text sizes in this section to make the paragraphs or & the whole content in this Author's Notes/Comments uniformly presented.  Thank you for reading on.




Reupdated on 12.23.2019:  I simply have added unto the hashtags the following words/phrases/terms:  correlative objective, mimesis and diegesis, mimesis, diegesis.

 

 

Reedited on 07.19.2019, 07.18.2019, 07.17.2019 (On clarifications, disambiguation, misspelled/mistyped words, grammatical/semantical errors):  Upon reviewing my notes/comments, I could not help but notice something that I had to revise.  I have edited that something in my Author's Notes/Comments, for some time, yet I had not been able to update and indicate those in the former reedition (I may have forgotten it).  Some of my previous grammatical/semantical errors were corrected/edited; but that had also lent itself to being still erroneous after I had found out about the others/another, consequently.  Those were the scruples which I had, i.e., in noticing/not noticing/ignoring an unedited/missed part, i.e., of a sentence (that was erroneous & that which was consequently omitted.)

 

The idea behind this practice poem is certainly not an allusion to John Donne's famous line or to his poem, although it sounded like it—in fact, it was sort of in my head before this was done (I do not know about his poetics until later on, after doing this).  But the usage might easily denote such notions or concepts which you might have in mind already (a correlative or a relation/association to this).  The phrase first came to mind while I was in my first few steps of composing something (which I wanted to pull off in the creation process alone & not necessarily done while visualizing my supposed ends).  That might/could be dangerous if it was Magic.  I did not know what had prompted me.  It does not necessarily end up as I supposed to have wanted it to come off (in that it was not my endpoint, to think about it).  My orientation is/was not in that specified way, as for most poetic styles &/or semblances with each poems that are rather perceptual (aside from being already conceptual).  Generally.  It is a moot point to take note of the circularity of such philosophical arguments (e.g., especially at this time) which I could have done with the rest of my haiku adaptations during the last.  I kept on feeling awkward at using haikus in the first place, or for taking on the minimalistic Japanese approaches/styles (& the use of blank spaces), just to go about such particular pieces of "literary work".  I especially connote my written English aside from my own thoughts about the subjects (&/or objects) that comprise the 'denotata'/'designata' at the moment.  Besides, if you might want to really know about my objectives, you may outright realize that these would be my test pieces or guides for mapping out my whole understanding of Language.  I just hope that this note's real message (real intention) comes across and becomes well received in conjuction with the poem's explanation/history/reason/etc. as in the other author's notes/comments that went before this.
