In concept of Free Web Poetry ‘Free’ refers to freedom of expression, connecting meanings and way of reading structured poem, ‘Web’ refers to online but also web-like structure, and ‘Poetry’ is from the Greek “ποίησις“, poiesis, a ‘making’ or ‘creating’.

FWP could be intriguing for writers and artists who like to make complex structures and use almost random writing. It is used by the creator for making cut-up / haiku poems, giving them also interactivity - poems change as reader clicks nodes of the poem.

How to use: download and install xebece (software developed by Roman Kennke). Write a short sentence or a word in each node, make connection to next node and keep on writing. Play with the structure and new meaning will arise.

Constructing

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

The letterists do not create scandals: they break the conspiracy of silence.
truths which no longer entertain become lies
THOSE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THESE WORDS WILL BE IGNORANT OF THEIR IMPLICATION
DEMOLISH SERIOUS CULTURE
ABOLISH TRUTH
CHOOSE ALIENATION
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers

I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path.
