Here is one of my chance poems. I hope you enjoy it. I use chance methods to create my poems, drawings and paintings. I’d love to hear from you if you do the same!
Two Significant Moments

I have one of his and now the tattoos of hers are brighter than mine and sparkle as the new sun once did. I avoided getting it on my palm as there were his marks there

I have not heard of Chance Methods. Is that a thing? Or a turn of phrase? I’ll go look it up:-) I love the painting.

John Cage, Duchamp and Arp used chance methods. It varies from person to person. John Cage is my favourite and he used the I Ching, as did Philip K. Dick. Thank you for commenting 🙂

The tree arrows are really neat, kind of surealist because of the unexpected combination. Makes me think. Both pictures are great, thanks for sharing!

I use dice sometimes to determine length of lines etc. I am a big fan of chance methods.

Thank you so much. My pleasure. I thought about running a competition every month a different avant- grade style… so dada then cut-ups then lipograms, but it looked like a lot of work.

It does sound good though! I tried to run some collaborative projects ages ago but it didn’t work..

It isn’t an easy thing to do at all. I love the idea of collaboration but there is the whole question of the ego. I was also going to do exquisite corpses as well. I am full of great ideas but then I forget them!

Very true – I think it could work with a chance operations project. My other half keeps post-its in every room in case he has ideas!

Very wise indeed. I write them down and forget about them and look at them and think, what was I thinking. By the way I am sending you my latest experiment…
