Queen Isabella:
Danse Macabre
"Demanding Justice"
AN INTRODUCTION

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Queen Isabella: Danse
Macabre "Demanding Justice"
is based upon a time-line of
historical events in the 14th century in England between two decades
from 1307 to 1327.
This story-board was written
solely of my own deductions from my imagination based upon my own personal
research.
Before & not after
reading any deplicts of the exhausted period by countless other authors'
symposings.
To explain the format &
charactoristics of this text:
The format is also the
archetecture of my own creative madness
I have combined the Haiku
& Sonnet together to create Sonnet chapters of numbered Haiku Sonnet
verses.
There are 14 Haikus
compiling each of the 14 Sonnet chapters.
There are 14 Sonnet chapters
compling the complete text to come full circle.
(There is NO deliberate
rhyme scheme as in the traditional sense of Sonnets)
There is alot of repetition
to emphize certain aspects as well as becoming redundant as an ironey/a
mockery.
In Art repetition can imply
motion.
You will realize that it
regulates the speed of reading within the confines of the strict haiku format
of 17 syllables(5-7-5)
The reason the Sonnet &
Haiku can be blended together is that each one by definition is a short/small
story.
So I am telling a Haiku
stories inside Sonnet chapters of a Sonnet story.
At the time of my conception
of "Queen Isabella I was influenced by Gertrude Stein & Jack Keruac.
Which aided & provoked this concise format.
There is the element of
conciseness being intimate with both compiling formats of the Haiku & the
Sonnet.
Where in the repetions gains
further emphasis & meaning for which is possibly lost in more exhausting
terms of elaborate detail contextually.
One note to the reader:
The word "Between"
is a key word to follow throughout the text.
&
I would advise the reader to
read in "between" the lines.
To read what is said &
what isnt said but could be implied or deducted.
I would have hopes of
provoking the reader to ask questions & to make their own deductions
depending upon the level of my audience's graditude.
This story is multi-layered
to be read at face value as well as hidden meanings implied physically
emotionally & spiritually.
There is a structurial
appeal in the hybred format to this text.
Affording a fore-shadowing
outline conpiling the Sonnet chapters of Haiku Sonnets.
I have deliberately deployed
the devices of
in Poetry heavily purposely
& organicly which makes up for the lack of structured rhyme in my mind.
I have done all of the work
solely from conception to research. I have hand written manuscripts.
(With hand drawn
illustrations (Perhaps for a future project) that aided in the creative
process.)
Manuscipts that were I
transfered developed & revised into the digital Haiku-Sonnet format that I
created.
After futher revisons I
edited the complete text once I completed numbering & spell-checking.
The final word count was
40,739.
There are 2,758 Haikus with
196 Sonnets & 46,886 syllables.
A second note to the reader:
There is one variation.
There should only be 2,744
Haiku Sonnets & 46,648 syllables if I were to be stricter. But I elected to
leave an extra Haiku Sonnet in the final text.
In my Defense:
I justicified this in the
sense that this format is strictly an experimental format which affords a
degree of libirty to me as the poet & editor.
(& I could not choose
between the two Haiku Sonnets (Nor could I blend the two together)because they
both seem vital to the complete text of the story.)
& approperately it is
the end of the "Turn" at VIII: XIV:14
which I identified &
numbered them as a & b:
There are "Turns"
throughout the text but they are not always where a stricter brand of this
format could produce.
The story-board that I am
presenting/protraying is contray to the popular belief from the historical
Rhetoric that has endured the Ages from Medievil Times.
What has survived are
Chronicles of propoganda that served the masses at the time. That was a source & means of slander that
served their 14th century purposes.
My storyboard is based on dates & events of the time period in relationship to the main charactors to create this story that emphasises the idea of Duty--Strong Necessity & Self Preservation in such a periless period steeped in violence religous zeal & superstition.
