I’m also often thinking about which words I want to emphasise by placing them at the end of a line - is there an image or question I want the reader to hang onto? Otherwise, is there a way I can use the line break to create surprise or double meaning? These are all ideas I’ve picked up from reading and speaking to other poets. Other times, if it suits the feeling of the poem, I might look to deliberately break the line where it feels less natural. I usually read aloud whilst writing and sometimes simply break the line where it feels most natural to pause. For me, there are a few different factors that come into play when I’m deciding line breaks. I’m wondering now which sounds and songs might later remind me of this current time in my life…but perhaps that’s a tangent for another day. Interestingly, these sonic markers of time and place weren’t something I could have predicted them becoming. Himesh Reshammiya’s song, Jhalak Dikhla Ja, to Ajmer, where my cousin once convinced me that singing it would invite ghosts. The scream of a fox, to our old home in Ilford. For me, for example, the hum of a sewing machine always carries me to my sister’s bedroom in Essex. This entry into the poem, with its use of the word ‘again’, also speaks to how familiar we can become with certain sounds and the journeys they take us on. I love that sound is an active subject here, transporting the speaker without permission. That takes me from myself Seán Hewitt, ‘Tawny Owl in Fog’ This use of sound isn’t unique to my own writing, of course a poem that springs to mind is Seán Hewitt’s Tawny Owl in Fog, which begins, I suppose I conjure sound in my writing, then, as a means of connecting to places and people, especially when I’m physically distant from them. I think this longing for sound is indicative of its ability to respond to or evoke emotion and memory, which might then evoke other senses too. I often find myself craving specific albums, voices of loved ones or sounds of objects like the ceiling fan in my poem. What a fascinating workshop! And yes, absolutely - sound and music play a huge role in my life. I think this poem does that in descriptions of feeling a finger scratching or seeing a person shuffling – there are also sounds here! Is sound and music important to you generally? ![]() I remember years ago doing a workshop with the poet, Joanna Klink, and she talked about how you can create sound in a poem through describing the other senses. <3 is sometimes incorporated into kaomoji, a popular Japanese style of emoticons.In this poem, sound seems to be very important, and you evoke it directly and indirectly. To add extra emphasis to the <3 emoticon, users tend to add extra 3’s instead of typing the entire emoticon, e.g., <33333 instead of <3<3<3<3<3. For instance, someone might type less than three if fawning over a picture of an adorable dog. In so doing, users again conjure up the internet of the 1980–90s and signal an “in-the-know, old school” credibility with the conventions and slang of the era. In colloquial speech and occasionally in writing, <3 is pronounced or represented as less than three. Many people intentionally use <3 to call to mind the earlier days of the internet or demonstrate familiarity with its culture. Often appearing in the phrase i <3 u, the <3 can convey a cute, more innocent, or more earnest tone than various heart emoji. ![]() <3 still maintains currency and popularity, however, especially on a computer keyboards, as typing <3 can be faster than retrieving an emoji. Like the heart symbol, <3 can stand for the word love or heart, e.g., I <3 New York. <3 and heart emoji can be used to express love or affection for a person or fondness for some event or content. ![]() Since the 2010s, as noted, emoji have become so widespread that many are more likely to type a heart-based emoji than its predecessor <3 (or ♡).
