New blog August 16: And Then There Were Three- Meet Javali, Our Lady Of the Purple Sweater
Short Order Poems are crafted on a Remington 5 vintage typewriter at art events on the island of Kauai, where I'm known as The Short Order Poet. I compose spontaneous verse on an iconic 4-by-6 inch waitress guest check. 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.
Shop Keepers: Samples of short order poetry art on wood, metal and paper can be seen in slideshow below. I can be reached here or @shortorderpoet on Instagram. I invoice through PayPal.
If you're on island, wood and 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.
Thank you National Checking for blessing this project with your Guest Checks.
