Spotlight Poetry – Anthology – Just Three Lines – A Collection of Small Poems by Goff James – Winter Update

I regret that due to unforeseen circumstances over the past few months publication of my book has been delayed. I am only now beginning to catch up on a backlog of very many demands upon my time.

I was hoping to have the book ready for publication by the end of this year. Unfortunately it has most definitely been placed on the back-burner whilst other things have been prioritised.

However, here is another taster of some of the poems contained within its covers.

The image depicts a book cover design titled Just Three Lines by the poet and author Goff James. The work is a monochromatic illustration of a plain red curtain cascading downwards on a black background. The lettering is in a bold white font.

The poems are individually numbered; but, there is in no particular order of theme.

I continue to be drawn to the idea of self-publishing the anthology and releasing it as a free download document or to publish it in instalments.

Poetry – Playing Catch Up – An Emojiku Poem by Ingrid Wilson, Cindy Georgakas and Goff James

The image depicts a Book Cover titled Wounds I Healed by the artist Nick Reeves. The image supports the Emojiku poem Playing Catch Up written by the poets Ingrid Wilson, Cindy Georgakas and Goff James.

😛 Playing catch up after
🤓 Editing all yesterday
🏝 I need a holiday

😂 The fun has just begun
📕 Publisher shuts the books
👩 Rupunzel’s time to play

🌑 Pain’s dark road travelled
📖 Women’s wounds deep hidden penned
🗣 Many voices speak

What is emojiku?

The emojiku came about by Cindy Georgakas and Goff playing emoji tennis in the WP comments box. It was a natural step to take it one stage further and develop from being just a fleeting form of discourse into something more poetically constructive.

An emojiku is a hybrid poetic form, and is similar in format to a haiku / senryū or haiga.

In the case of an emojiku the source image is an emoji. The emojiku is made up of three different emoji. Each emoji being the inspiration for one line of the short poem.

The process of creating an emojiku begins by a blogger sending three different emoji to a fellow blogger.

The second blogger responds by writing their emojiku and forwarding it back to the original blogger; who, in turn responds by writing a counterpoint emojiku using the same emoji images.
