Synkroniciti is excited to share the work of Auroras & Blossoms, a platform for positive art founded by David Ellis and Cendrine Marrouat. We feature four artistic forms which they created. These forms have a common ancestor in the haiku but embrace new combinations of genre and media.
In our upcoming issue, we feature two of David’s poems, “Sheltering,” an illuminating Pareiku about the connection between nature and motherhood, and “The Truth Inside the Nest,” a Kindku about the power of reading and books. Pareiku are three-line poems that link two unrelated images, in this case a couple of gorgeous 18th -century prints. A Kindku is a seven-line poem that draws inspiration (in the form of borrowed words) from an earlier work. Here, David draws his from the poetry of Wallace Stevens.
Would you like to see these inspiring new forms and learn more about them–maybe even write your own? Please subscribe or purchase the issue here: https://synkroniciti.com/the-magazine/.
David Ellis lives in Tunbridge Wells, Kent in the UK. He is an award-winning poet, author of poetry, humourous fiction and music lyrics. David’s debut poetry collection (Life, Sex & Death) won an International Award in the Readers’ Favorite Book Awards 2016 for Inspirational Poetry Books.
David is extremely fond of tea, classic and contemporary poetry, cats, and dogs but not snakes. Indiana Jones is his spirit animal.
Here’s a poetic duet with Julianne Victoria and a lovely interview from The Creator’s Roulette.
