Velimir Khlebnikov’s short poem«Когданадполемзеленеет…»(“When Green Shimmers Above the Field…”) was composed during the height of Russian Cubo-Futurism, a movement that sought to dismantle poetic tradition and restore the autonomy of the word (samovitost’). At first glance, the poem is concise in form and vivid in imagery, showing no trace of avant-garde experimentation. Yet a closer reading reveals that, although Khlebnikov does not divide it into stanzas, its internal structure follows the principles of the sonnet. Through a progression reminiscent of exposition, development, and resolution, the poem creates an imagistic space in which emotions, ideas, and a worldview are projected across shifting dimensions of time and space. Drawing on Yuri Lotman’s structural poetics, this article first outlines the origins and development of the sonnet in Russia, then analyzes the poem’s surface structures–meter, sound, and syntax–before turning to the image of the moth at the conclusion, exploring its symbolic significance within the cultural context and the deeper meanings Khlebnikov seeks to convey through it. Through this analysis, the article not only demonstrates how Khlebnikov reconfigures the traditional sonnet structure but also shows how he uses concrete imagery to project his reflections on time, life, and the universe. This finding contributes to a deeper understanding of the characteristics of Khlebnikov’s poetics and further expands the possibilities for interpreting his poetic aesthetics. |
