Oh, but the teens like this title! Jimi Hendrix still thrills the new generation.
This poem was written about a gorgeous wisteria vine that was adorning a fence in front of a beautiful home in Charleston, SC last year. Our family was there for Easter (see "Lonely Palm of Folly") and I imagined a war between the fence and the vine.
The poem is published in the 2011 edition of The Lyricist poetry magazine. Campbell University sponsors the statewide poetry contest and puts out the winners and honorable mentions in the magazine each April.
Hope you enjoy "Purple Haze".
Ciao for now!

This is a site devoted to those who wax poetic, love photography, and are willing to put two and two together into a video format. I became a videoetry person while creating a home movie of a trip my family and I took in the summer of 2010. We went from Albuquerque, NM to San Francisco, CA over a period of two weeks. I actually woke up one morning thinking that word and that is what has inspired me to create this site and the Youtube video site I pull in for it.
Rules Of Videoetry
RULES OF VIDEOETRY
1. Use your own photos and/or video.
2. Use your own poetry or words to describe your
videoetry.
3. Use your own musical creation, or if you use
someone else's, do NOT exceed 30 seconds.
Who wants to make a cute videoetry of these items to post on my site? Hmmm? That would be fun!
