Organic poetry

Plant 7 words in the ground and watch how in a short time almond trees, spinach, fish and moons will grow…

Antonio Lagunilla, “the poet of the crazy verses”, opens our section of organic poetry.
A section which has been in the pipeline for a while, but which has been delayed somewhat because the words have been shy and have taken some coaxing before coming out.


But at last, we’re born… phew… and it wasn’t really such a big deal!  We just had to wait for the right and natural moment and we’re away… not without some teething problems, but we’re away.
The organic poems, verses, words couldn’t wait to flow and now they there’s no holding them back as they confuse the natural order and priorities of everything, because they couldn’t wait any longer.

 

 

ORGANIC POETRY has been born with a poem by our workmate Antonio, who yesterday had a day on the edge of his emotions and his neurons have been crossed with his heart and that has led him to write a simple poem, but one which we feel represents a metaphor of so many things which we’d like to say and provoke.

The section is born even if a little noisy, with too many bones and a suit that’s too big, but it’s born in the right moment when the words need to gestate no more…
…we don’t offer neither 100 nor 2,000 euros per baby born… the section is free for anyone who wishes to show their babies off…
…blank pages are empty and invite you to fill them with words, we invite all of you… writers, are you reading this?  Poets wherever you are!  What do you mean, poetry’s not organic?
Under a pseudonym, your name or with just a finger print… whoever wants to may send their poems here for publication.

There are no rules.  What rules can we put to poetry?
As from today the section is up and running, with a hot coffee so that the words come out with energy.

3 DE DICIEMBRE

El 3 de diciembre…
es un día de fiesta
de felicidad
de sueños, de amor
de reflexión: pensamos en ti
es el día de la vida
que el mundo te daría a ti
es un universo
piensa en los demás
ellos piensan en ti.
Antonio Lagunilla

 “the poet of the crazy verses”
ANTONIO LAGUNILLA
FROM: BARCELONA
LIVES IN IBIZA SINCE 2000

Antonio writes with talent, his poetry is completely free, crazy, with or without rhyme it rhymes, with or without comas or full stops he achieves pause, with double meanings, in double directions, it arrives where it is going, alternating between irony and happy reflection.  It’s triple X, and quadruple as well… he provokes…

His rhythm is unmeasured, he isn’t governed by any rule of writing, nor any particular aesthetic aim, nothing more than his desire to express himself through his words which play as though they had a video camera in their hands, transmitting permanent, complete images, with a single word, a sentence, an idea…

Organic, live words, gestated and illuminated at the same time, without moulds nor pedigree…
