I think what throws me a little are the four lines beginning with “Were you not ten feet from me?” Right off, I start wondering about who “you” is, and then it shifts back to the third-person narrative.<br /><br />I don’t know. I like it and prefer not to analyze it. I love the “sorry for loving the sound of silence” part, ending with the Pompeii line.William Michaelianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05945815778010124287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512387192495993400.post-85140693440305371022009-04-14T21:35:00.000-07:002009-04-14T21:35:00.000-07:00I suppose a poem doesn't ever need to do more and ...I suppose a poem doesn't ever need to do more and I guess a really good poem wouldn't do less... I'm not sure what I expect out of it -- to mean something at any rate, to someone, I would hope. I do generally have a sort of philosophical concept in mind, even if rather vague. I apparently often fall into the false conception that the images in my mind that summon powerful thought are the same images that will summon those same thoughts in others. In this case, the power of nature and silence to expose the weakness of language and the inability of words to articulate human thought and feeling. Case in point, I suppose. I am of the opinion, however, that a truly great poem/poet, while accepting the shortcomings of language, is able to transcend and communicate pure uninhibited thought. Not that a poem should always "mean" something -- but that in its very existence it is necessarily meaningful. As I said, I know what I expect, but I am never sure what that expectation actually is :) Perhaps it is a false or naive expectation.~im just only me~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17468965486093974442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512387192495993400.post-11843988934444505942009-04-05T12:52:00.000-07:002009-04-05T12:52:00.000-07:00I like it, but I don’t think it makes perfect sens...I like it, but I don’t think it makes perfect sense. And maybe that’s why I like it. I like the mood of it, definitely, the lonely quiet of it, the picture it creates, the confessional tone, the interior monologue and stream of consciousness feeling of it.<BR/><BR/>Does it need to do more, or am I missing the point altogether?William Michaelianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05945815778010124287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512387192495993400.post-1189922050859362442009-04-04T22:51:00.000-07:002009-04-04T22:51:00.000-07:00Just a general poll: Is this a pretty straight fo...Just a general poll: Is this a pretty straight forward poem, or do I just think that it makes perfect sense? :D All comments would be appreciated :D~im just only me~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17468965486093974442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512387192495993400.post-21879920364059424522009-01-31T10:18:00.000-08:002009-01-31T10:18:00.000-08:00why thank you aloysiusyours truly,upplablwhy thank you aloysius<BR/><BR/>yours truly,<BR/>upplablDaynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15114642460015742134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512387192495993400.post-74693283982311206572009-01-30T14:08:00.000-08:002009-01-30T14:08:00.000-08:00Hey Cricket, your abilities of raphort will be gre...Hey Cricket, your abilities of raphort will be greatly enhanced by a word of William's...or several words...here... http://recently-banned-literature.blogspot.com/2009/01/priorities.html<BR/><BR/>oh. btw.
