Normally Im very much against the idea that other non-poem things - TopicsExpress



          

Normally Im very much against the idea that other non-poem things are metaphorically poems, but this diagram from 1919, Method of wrapping carrier pigeons for dropping from air-craft, is poem-like to me in the way it progresses, in its white space, in the fact it engages form, in the tension between a seemingly innocuous drawing and how the pigeon might actually react when being rolled up, and what the environment was to cause this to happen. I may be reaching here, but just call me Stretch Armstrong because I love this diagram like I love some poems. retronaut/2010/09/method-of-wrapping-carrier-pigeons/?utm_content=buffer19ad2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=buffer
