Cows on the Moove is a collection of comic narratives, poetic editorials, alternative testimonials and tall tales -with some rhetorical prose thrown in for good measure. Cows on the Moove explores the power of the Paradelle;which is a new form of poetry, originally created as a joke.But no sooner did it learn to laugh than it took itself seriously.A Paradelle is essentially a prepositional call and responsepoetic performance. The 1st and 3rd lines of each verse are the prepositional call; the 5th and 6th lines are the response. But they also carry the story forwards into the following verse.And so it is for the first 3 verses. The 4th verse wraps it all upand ties each of the previous verses into a coherent narrative. Lines 1 and 3 make a provocative statement or proposition.Lines 2 and 4 repeat lines 1 and 3 exactly. Lines five and six dismantle these lines and reuse these words and their imagesin a way that expands, reflects and reveals what a word can say.Verse 4 can only use the words of the other 3; it's the summationof everything that has previously been stated, intimated or implied. It's where, despite uneven odds, the poem coheres itself as a story. The Paradelles in Cows on the Moove represent my progression in discovering their potential as a vehicle for creative expression.The limitations imposed by the form offer unending poetic possibilities.As you begin to explore what a Paradelle has the power to say,and the territory of a Paradelle Universe becomes more familiar;I invite you to write down your feelings and reactions in the book.And perhaps to find in these same words ... what you want to say.
