Gwennan, out!

Hi, Folks. I've been a page-bound poet forever, with about a dozen poems published in the past couple of years (professional writer/editor for 30 years). Now I want to do web poems using flash, DHTML, java, etc. but I am code-clueless. I've downloaded programs to try and learn enough code to create what I see in my head, but it would take me years to match skill with inspiration. So I need somebody, a collaborator, and preferably somebody who wants help being a writer. Then we can trade. I've trained writers professionally for years.

Who are you, my hero? You may not be much of a poet, but you have the keyboard fingers of a superhero and plenty of creativity and artistry. Me, I have the tongue of a poet but the code capacities of a toad. Let's get together. I have text and ideas; you can add code and images. Or you have snazzy code and I can add text and suggest images, etc. Or we can start from scratch on a poem that could only exist on the web--integrated all the way along.

Beauty is the goal, and subtlety. No pantomimes--like when the mention of "water" in a poem is matched with a wavy line of text. Too obvious. Like playing charades. The goal is to be literature, class, the true, the good and the beautiful. What would Shakespeare do if he could code? . . . . "Be thou my MP3......" (Well, maybe not.)

For example, a poem about a fellow sitting alone by a lake: when the reader finishes a stanza a click will send the words skipping across the surface of the lake like a stone, leaving lonely circles criss-crossing each other.

Or a poem about a lady who won't plant ivy because she doesn't want it spreading too fast, and vines slowly penetrate the space of the words.

Or a poem about a gymnast whose spine is studded with lights. Impressionistic.

Or a poem about a girl who dreams of talking like the birds, and there's a mouseover effect to play bird calls on specific words.

I need the other half of a team. The world needs more mutual assured creation.
