What is Comics Poetry? A comic is form of drawn or photographed media which conveys a sense of time, progression in events, whether they're in one panel, or spread throughout 4 or 5. Comics poetry is the essence of comics and poetry working together cohesively to convey a point. Though, poetry does not mean the content, or work of comics poetry is inclusive of text or is even suggestive of language being conveyed. Text can be included, and so can suggestion of words. This does not mean that something without text and suggestion of words is not comics poetry, as it does not mean that comics poetry is not comics poetry without any drawings at all. A comic can still be a comic without drawings. What, do you decide that the comic you're reading is no longer a comic when you're reading a page with black-filled panels and only text pacing itself across and down a page? Of course not. Any form of drawn or photographed media which clearly has a sense of progress in any direction or in any way, is a comic.

Prose/ Poetry



Summer cicadas passed,

Wipe your cheeks, Rosey Red,

Like the leaves,

You'll blend in if you aren't careful,

So go, wipe,

Wipe yours days away,

New ones will come,

And they can be better,

So wipe your cheeks, Rosey Red,

The cold will come, so please stay warm,

The wind always hits the bridge hard, you know better,

You know better, Rosey Red,

There go the last specks of red,

Rosey Red, don't forget who you are,

Though the days of yesterday are no more.

                                                    Green Dreams: Gardens -  response

Green worlds which border the outside we want to run away from, man-made objects which seem to be so naturally encased in this step off into  paradise – these are the worlds described and justified in their own right in Green Dreams: Gardens. There was a lot of running off on tangents, and referencing/comparing places without photograph notes, or even a simple, concise explanations we won’t get lost in as we’re attempting to draw conclusion from the convolution. The writer is speaking about how gardens are thought to be natural by many, but are man-made. Oftentimes the creator of a given garden seeks to reference or even sometimes mimic or replicate a place in the real world. They’re  havens which are the result of man, that someone poured their heart and soul into, yet are not entirely considered to be a piece of art. For some reason, there are comparisons drawn between landscape painting and garden creation. It isn’t correct to pit the two against each other though, because the creators are of a different mindset and were working to achieve something completely different. There is not any rationale behind comparing two piece which are different in nature, simply because they depict the same thing. Nonetheless, it is very interesting to be reminded that some people are so passionate about the art of landscaping, even to the point of writing about it.
