Step 12 of 13 Ways Of Looking At A Poem

Posted on June 19, 2018 by anna mosca

12.

Cloud have covered the whole
day slowing down my rhythm
I walk as barefoot on carpet
placing words carefully
dozing off a bit hanging
poetic moments behind my eyes

A Petal – California Notebooks

Posted on June 12, 2018 by anna mosca

Standard

*
a petal can lead
to an expanse of flowers

of poetry and lightness
surprisingly colored

to an internal suburban world
projecting me with telescopic

vision toward the earth I who
believes to be above it

within not yet under
I who believe and know no more

I who believes evermore that
I’m and nothing else matters

who loves to live an atom
at a time my own explosion

This poem appears in the first volume of the California Notebooks.

Radio – California Notebooks

Posted on June 10, 2018 by anna mosca

Standard

A tiny taste of the radio interview I did in Milan, Italy, two weeks ago. The first poems is in English.

Un piccolo assaggio video dell’intervista all’Onda di Radio Navigli di Milano del 21-6-18. La seconda poesia è in italiano.

Text below/Testi a fondo pagina

*
I’ve seen rain
stepping on the sea
incessantly tapping

not able to carve
ancient holes

as on rocks
because it

was welcomed
it was welcome

*
ho visto la pioggia

camminare sul mare
bussava senza sosta

incapace di scavare
buchi antichi

come nelle rocce
perchè era

accolta
era ben accolta

Adding Notes

Posted on June 5, 2018 by anna mosca

Standard

I didn’t dislike
school most days

yet I was anxious
each day to go home
to have lunch while

reading – to then take a small
break after the meal – under
the sun on the balcony

reading again underlining
my dreams to come
adding notes to my

future days

The Birds Trills

Posted on May 29, 2018 by anna mosca

Standard

just before
I breathed in I was
breathing out

I run to this
place to be with you
you seem aloof

to life or to give
anything out afraid
even to receive

I play with the birds
trills as people rush
home from work

Ask Me Not

Posted on May 22, 2018 by anna mosca

Standard

let me dance
as the millipede
with no thinking

ask me not to
quit nor to explain
turn the other side

if jealousy abides
inside as I praise the
sky as the dance floor

Split In Two

Posted on May 8, 2018 by anna mosca

Standard

I’m split in two

by the desire to
sit and meditate

and travel madly
to new landscapes

travel nonetheless

new either way
yet the excitement

of moving on the territory
yet the serenity

of exploring the nearby

Standard

Sundays are dedicated to Italian Poetry. Today the recording of latest TV interview LIVE on an Italian TV Broadcast. The poems I read in Italian are showing with English text as well, freeze the frame to read it! Enjoy.

Oggi invece di una poesia in italiano abbiamo la registrazione della mia ultimissima intervista TV a SEILATV dove mi hanno chiesto di ritornare. Parliamo di poesia, di viaggi nell’anima come in Giappone, della fotografia di Alta Moda a Tokio e del Messico e di Frida Kahlo. Buona visione!
