I tend to write my poetry at concerts. by Karen

Last night I attended Justin's Orchestra at Temple Square Concert. They played Mozart, Beethoven and Dvorak. I was inspired by the evening's printed program, and wrote this poem:

Biography

Successfully spans, and multi-faceted,
one of those.
He made his and holds the post.

A frequent guest,
has collaborated with by some of the most
of his generation.
He was invited by,
regularly appears with,
was honored as,
and returned for.

Received glowing with great success;
have met with enthusiastic reception
by the international press.

Which marks the first--the long awaited,
generously provided.
Co-founded the, around the world,
using the latest.


if this poetry style is unfamiliar to you, it's the poetry-as-a-collage-of-phrases kind, highly influenced by the work of e.e. cummings.

    I always tease Karen for feeling compelled to curate everything. She's such an universalist.
