An-Yi: You know, I'm lost. The private exultations of most poets are indecipherable.
Daiki: Perhaps the best way to understand poem is to envision it in terms of your own experience. You enjoy spring, right?
An-Yi: Yeah.
Daiki: And sometimes feel almost giddy when surrounded by fragrant blossoms, right?
An-Yi: Sure. It's a typical reaction.
Daiki: The rest of the poem is just filler: that feeling of fresh joy is all that counts.

Spring - a graphic poem by T Newfields As sunlight fattens the hours of each day
and night whispers softly while count
less creatures rivet, humm, coo, croak, croon, 'n
yelp in desire to mate the air turns rip
e with the fragrance of blossoms as thick cotton c
louds congeal into thunderheads as st
reams swell from copious rains the land
turns lush in explosions of col
or as the earth be
comes green!
