OH my--I love both of these poems. I love that you shared them both and gave some explanation of your process. I too remember Cha Cha Cha Chia!!! That song comes to mind more than I'd like to admit while I'm enjoying my chia in a water glove of its own.
What a delight it is to have you come play with us @rubenalexander. You've just added another layer of depth to this collaboration. I so appreciate your sharing.
Thank you for suggesting we write about the process!
It's primo that you did. I think it helps others to feel more connected to you, what you do and the thought process of doing it. It's also fun to see how each artists processes and engages the image.
