Become Free

Nature calls out
Go to the sun, the sands and the skies
Celebrate with the waves and the clouds
Float free if you will

Go Beyond

Leave comfort
Venture out
Drop pretence
Rip off masks
Step out of your self.




Welcome

Welcome to the Nu Poetry blog! The idea for this kind of graphic poetry came from a friend who asked me to compose verses for a photobook. The demand was promptly met by me and my work was appreciated by the friend. However the photobook never came out. That was expected given the slender condition of the friend's finances. In that problem lay this opportunity.

Another unknown admirer of my fine art app blog has egged me on to write more verse. It's a wonderful thing to receive compliments and when they are expressed with great love, the effect on me is a soaring of spirits into the clouds.

I have therefore decided to launch this one and see how far it goes. You are welcome to send your contributions to me on colin.lascale@gmail.com and I would try to publish them on this blog.

Now the nupoetry in the URL could be interpreted as New Poetry or Nude Poetry depending on your tastes. All the visuals I choose are of fine art nudes. They convey the meaning graphically to me and I suppose to you as well. So here we go!
