So today I am attempting an ideaogram. I didn’t want to do the Sidman exercise just as it was suggested because I have written a poem like that before, so instead I came up with a variation on her exercise.
For this one I went looking for some further inspiration and found some in googling images. It seemed obvious one way to write something like this might be to play with the ideogrammatic fonts on my computer. But how to play with them? I used the geotype font and the following images came up when I typed my name, june: Light bulb, Duck, Globe or Sign and a Hand. I thought why not use them as inspiration. That’s pretty random isn’t it, but here goes.
For ‘Ducky’
I look for my light bulb moment
Married to a man whose nickame is Ducky (because he impersonates Donald Duck)
We are world citizens by nature
Who after twenty years or more still remember to walk hand in hand

Let me know if you try this, now I’m off to experiment with some other fonts. Is this a true ideogram, well I really don’t care, it’s fun. Pictorial font fun. Another variation of this would be to then extend the metaphors and expand the piece.
