poetry

Before you even tried to convince us that poetry is awesome, I was already convinced. I think poetry is a beautiful art form that often gets overlooked and skipped. The fact that a poet can say so much in just a few lines is completely amazing. It’s like a photograph or a painting. It can tell a meaningful story with such a small palette. Poetry is not like a novel that has three thousand words to get the point across. A painting has a person’s first glance to catch the viewer’s eyes, a photograph has on image, and a poem has a couple lines. Anything that can say so much out of so little is absolutely wonderful.

“There pipes the woodlark, and the song-thrush there
Scatters his loose notes in the waste of air.”- Thomas Gray

This poem could just be saying literally what ut says or it could be saying something far more. I think the poem is saying that each animal has its contribution to society but not every contribution is ever actually seen or heard. I could be wrong. You could be thinking something else. But hey, that’s why poetry is so beautiful. Everyone sees it differently.

The idea that so much can be said in just two lines is far more amazing than I can even describe. I really really enjoy poetry. Hi! My name is Marie Krikorian and I actually like when my teachers teach poetry! – I’m a dork J If liking poetry means being a dork, then I am proud to be a dork.
