My pencil grazed the paper as the words spilled out onto it, whether I approved or not. A hot summer day, from riverside, and stone, The Water Thrush. “ Be it love or joy or sorrow, man feels it all and if he looks carefully he’ll see Nature having the same feeling too.” – William Wordsworth. The definition of poetry, Nature, as William Wordsworth may put it. Poetry is the emotions that surge through your veins, the healing to your mind and soul. Poetry can free you mentally.
It is about expressing yourself. Literature is a calm way for people to be in touch with themselves and the world. For some, it is not useful or they don’t believe they are good poets. For me, poetry is a gateway back to reality. Perspective is key. An example of this is one day in art, we did a project where we did sketches of things in the garden at Jackson Park. Then, we water colored them and wrote Haikus about are pictures. They had us do our Haikus in the library and did our pictures in art. It was soothing to do this project because it didn’t have to be realistic. The drawing was its own poetry and you just had to write words to go with it. Your lemon could be red, because the dawn, or a daisy blue, because it was being reflected in a deep puddle. It’s about how you see things. In art I chose to draw a lemon in the sunlight because the outside is bright, sweet and happy, but the inside is sour and sticky. It can represent masking your emotions.
It can help you channel your emotions. When you are very upset or tense you can use rhymes to help steady yourself and think clearly about everything around you and others. Poetry is an opening to new feelings and you can’t have trouble accessing those emotions because you will feel them and you can’t change that until you actually feelbn different. An example of this is once I was mad about something that had happened during recess, so when I was free to read, write or do math homework, I wrote some poetry to express myself in a way that was relaxing and that helped me regain control over myself. The ghost of my happiness, flying away, A cloak of darkness, hiding the path. Poetry isn’t the way for everyone to go, but if you give it a chance, you might like it.
Poetry is its own language. Poetry can be expressed in different ways and literal different languages. Even when someone is reciting in another language, you get a fair understanding of what is being said by the annunciation in they’re voices. It is special because you don’t actually need to understand them to know how they feel. Poetry is not really an official language, so don’t get me wrong there. But when you feel. Write or recite it. You can NEVER be wrong when it comes to you, your poetry. With A Perspective, I’m Amaya Tawasha Diwan.
