Gauzy is a fun poem inspired by the water lily paintings of Monet, not the crisp ones, but the ones where sky and water mix, where surface becomes color becomes reflection. I repeat the poems words and phrases, in different combinations, attempting to evoke the impression of imagery, the outlines of a situation without the lines remaining important, so that in the end rather than be left with a solid happenstance there lingers only an emotive experience. I didn't include any punctuation, and as the poem progresses sentences become disjointed and vague or partially nonsensical.
Each line is 14 syllables. There are 11 stanzas; 6 two line rhyming stanzas (where each line of the two "reverse" position and change phrasing but maintain the same concept each time the stanza appears) interwoven with 5 four line stanzas (using the same ending words) whose lines content are intermixed each time this stanza appears. While the structure of eleven stanzas has been maintained as eleven chapter breaks, each stanza has had its lines split-apart in order to preserve the intent (the pacing) of each line, and thus each line is given its own page; there may be instances, however, where managing the evolution of the poem in your mind, some lines have been split into multiple pages (making it so a chapter is not necessarily equal to the count of lines of a stanza).
