taking large scenes and reducing them to the shortest way possible. no rules. the ultimate is one word. finality.
this is not a contest. just my thought.
is there a "technical term" for this already? call me a dumbass, i don't know.

 

[Safe_Bet]

call me a dumbass

You're a Dumbass!​

(I'm sorry Ivan, I don't know the technical term either, but you can't give me
THAT big of an opportunity to be a smart ass and expect me NOT to take it!) -​

Now that I got that out of my system, what do you mean by "large scenes"?

brevity?

 

[ivantheterrible]

that's ok safebet.

the given moment. even when reflecting on let's say a flower there is always a background. the moment. what you hear, see, smell, taste, touch and feel (inside) is a factor in all translating of a moment for an individual.
poetry is a form of it. but what would you call the thought i have? anyone?

laughter

 

[ivantheterrible]

what if you took a word and made an expression of it? one expression. some kind of look, or movement in its simplest form. but only one.

 

[wildsweetone]

it sounds like what you are doing is 'connecting'.

minimalism?

you say the word 'laughter'

i conjure up a complete scene where many people are laughing joyously, someone else might conjure up a baby laughing, yet another might see an image of a clown, etc.

does it have to be a verb? i don't think so.

if i say 'mist', what do you see?

is this the kind of thing you mean?

I wonder if this is what he is thinking about?

I see THIS... .http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk67/freddheadpix/sunset.jpg

...and I think, "HOME."

for me mist is a forest at dawn as the sun rises.

for me mist is a forest at dawn as the sun rises.

for me...

mist is a curling soft cloud
waist high against pines,
their sharp green peaks
puncturing the white,
reaching to welcome
the sluggish sun from late slumber.

 

[ivantheterrible]

come sun
burn away the night
warm our bones
make us smile
a winter morning.
the hunt begins.
