Che Guevara’s Ship Spots Balseros Heading for the Florida Coasts

Drank at the Casa de la Trova, swam around in Hispaniola the

president

of our corporation, the tortilleria chain. There were refrains

and key

changes and loud riffs and streams of solos, but the

synchronicity

was not exactly what I was looking for. The syncopation,

infusion

of ladles and rhyme, was an unfortunate Canaveral to a

working class rocket.

Thought I wouldn’t last another minuet. The firing was fast,

I do not even remember who did it. Was it you, Simon?

Was it you, Pedro? “Was it I, Lord? Why do you ask? I was

here when you found me, and now you say you love me?”

Along with the music from Cuba (& Europe), Florida’s food

are adored by its patrons. Roman Catholics, new Republicans.

About "Perennial Measure," the first blogged poetry volume on this site:

On the seventh day in the writing of this collection, or perhaps already subconsciously during the making of that first poem, it became clear that this series, Perennial Measure (the volume), shall be about the practice of poetry and art. Having laid that assumption down, trying to follow that course, however, I saw that I was able to move later to the creation of pieces on various other themes, as if I was trying to present to my reader those various themes and issues that confront a poet in his life and everyday world, qua poet. But, so as not to veer too far away from my central theme, the series would interrupt that straying again to make me go back to pieces strictly on poetry or art. And that push and pull from the central theme went on to the end of the volume project (which targeted 56 pieces or 56 printed book pages worth). So, approach this collection thus, then, should it please you, and consider reading the last poem, "Perennial Failure," against the first one, "Perennial Measure." Otherwise, you can just approach the section or volume or book how you would rather, as maybe you should. Here is Perennial Measure, the blogged poetry book within this eponymously titled Perennial Measure blogged literary creations site.
