Short Order Poems are crafted on a Remington 5 typewriter at art events on Kauai, where I'm known as The Short Order Poet. I compose spontaneous verse on an iconic 4-by-6 inch waitress guest check; Why yes I was a waitress for (a~hem) 22 years.
The customer offers a word or phrase as the title of the poem. They receive the green guest check and I keep the yellow kitchen copy. I return to my studio where I give them a new medium from which to fly into the world. One friend calls them, "free range poems" and another says the poems are "being released into the wild."
My mission is to free poems from books. I've observed as a shop girl at Kiko Kauai there are those who wouldn't seek out poetry in books or online but delight in them when presented in a surprising format.
If you're on island, metal giclee poem overlays, greeting cards, postcards and the most popular, tiny credit card sized poems in stands, can be purchased at Kiko Simple Goods or a fun little diner, Nom, in Kapaa.
Thank you National Checking for blessing this project with your Guest Checks.
