Line Breaks
I like finding line breaks in nature. It makes me feel less self-indulgent about my poetry, as if poetry already exists.

Great!
Thought: are they breaks or overlaps? Are they what ties times together?
Love reading these Britt! You offer new prospective in my life.
Drew! I love the thought of tying time together with these breaks, or overlaps as you say. Maybe that’s why standing on the edge of things feels so amazing.
Thanks for visiting! means a lot.
Stunning photos!
Thank you, Eliza! I’m just grateful I didn’t fall off a cliff while taking these. 🙂
These are awesome. . . .
Thank you Jeremy. I haven’t been very present but i see these comments and hold them.
I really like your work, Britt. I’m definitely a fan. 🙂
Beautiful comparison! Cool pictures 😀
Thanks plinky. How do your glasses stay on, having no nose?
Hahahaha! It was glued on my face 😉

Line breaks – don’t get me started. For me, there is always a tension between the natural pause/rhythms of speech and the aesthetic look of the poem, Perhaps no line breaks is the answer [rhythmical prose]. Anyway, what a great idea you had comparing to line breaks in nature – it implies the aesthetic look is totally artificial, which of course it is. Wow, this has really got me thinking.. great photos btw. Enjoyed stopping by and will do again. Thanks for liking my Leonard Cohen poem.
Now you’ve got me thinking of language as nature. Of course it is! There is inflection within every spoken noise. It would be interesting to see how similar pause/rhythm of speech can be between people of varying language backgrounds.
Thanks for coming by.
Hi Britt – I have a short poem on the subject. I’d like to acknowledge and put in a link to your original post if that’s ok with you.
Ok!
Thanks!
