Position:Home>Poetry> Is poetry too often misunderstood ?Question: Is poetry too often misunderstood !? Poetry speaks,,, delicate joys, shades of sadness, attitudes veiled, posed smiles, exposing disguising bluster!. Poetry unwritten,,, nature’s voice, ocean whispers, bird's song, clouds skittering, universal dynamic actions!. Poetry recalls,,, mom’s wishes, babies cries, lovers moans, sorrowful sighs, longing for understanding!. Poetry creates,,, fantasy flights, rhythms tuned, moons glowing, desires designed, love captured anew!. Poetry written,,, mere thoughts, a conversation, revealing much, voicing yourself, with the world!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: TS, the 'poet' is misunderstood i think!. your write here is great!. nobody on earth is worth a worm without being reminded of what you have here!. i say, Poetry given!. thanks! Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes, is the answer to your question, and this is one such occasion!. Throwing a bunch of phrases together and calling the result a poem is all too common these days!. Sorry if my response does not tickle your ears, but I prefer to be honest!. Anyone, and I mean anyone, can throw something like this together and I cannot help but feel that it diminishes the accomplishments of true poetry!. All the time on this site I see people saying things like "There is no right or wrong in poetry, there are no rules", etc!. Absolute tosh - there is and there are! Your middle stanza is okay because of the hint of rhyme in it, but I'm afraid, in my humble opinion (which is not so humble you may have noticed), that the rest of it is completely underwhelming!. Please may I see something written by you with a bit of meat about it!? Stuff like this may satisfy the "kids" on this site, but I'm a grown-up when it comes to poetry!. Pax vobiscum!. (Well, you did ask for comments!.) On a positive note, however (with the exception of your triple commas), your spelling and punctuation are fine!. And Sin, please stop using that irritating jenny-word "kudos" - it's SO pretentious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com You have done very well with this one!.!. You have it pretty well spelled right out and truthfully!. !.!.and then there are venomous poets that berate a beginner with so much alacrity that it is unbecoming among poets, instead of offering words of encouragement!. I suppose that is said to inspire you to write about the poet now rather than the poetry!? *smiles* A most lovely poem you have created at any rate, understood by me, at least!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Really like this poem - all encompassing about the poets view of the world, and the poets view of poetry!. "universal dynamic actions" - a telling phrase that gets to the heart of how I view the world and each of you!. Poetry does create for each of us in its own way!. Www@QuestionHome@Com I do like this list of poetic subtopics under each category!. I wish I had seen it when I was teaching poetry!. The poem itself elicits quite a bit of imagery!. There are times when blank verse does the job it is intended to do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Poetry is the eldest sister of all arts, and parent of most!.I donot always understand what the poet is trying to tell me, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy his words and phrasing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Bingo T!.S!.! You got every letter right! Flow is smooth!. Each stanza created the image intended!. And the subject is one we all can relate to!. Kudos! Www@QuestionHome@Com |
