Seven Words
INTERACTING WORDS. I am working on ways to write Poems using as few words as possible. I know that certain Poetry Groups have done similar things before. However, I want the number of words used to be so restricted (say 4 or 8: any less than four has insufficient interactions and more than eight has too many interactions) that each word in the Poem has to interact with all of, or most of, the other words in the poem-so as to create new nuances of meaning.
These works are meant to be real poems. They are not merely puzzles or experiments. There is no definite sequence in the poem. There is no story being told sequentially downwards.
Simply think of all seven words at the same time and the Poem will come together in your brain-well, that’s the idea.
