Poetry: The Language of the Gods
Towards the end of class on Tuesday we spoke about why poetry is so important and so much deeper than just a normal novel or essay on a topic. While everyone was discussing all I could think about was Dr. Mitchel last semester telling us that believed that in Heaven everyone would speak in poetic form because poetry just had to be the language of the gods due to the impact only a few words can have in comparison to paragraphs of crap. In just a few lines, a poem can relay multiple meanings and do so beautifully! I can't wait to continue with our honors talks in class and blogs this semester! God bless!

I will agree that poetry is great because it only takes a few well-placed words to get the ideas flowing. I wish I could actually understand it all better so that it made more sense. Then again, I guess the fact that the ideas are not in your face is what makes poetry fun.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you 100%. It is just like music (because music is poetry with other stuff added to it). It speaks in a different language that the bullet point or just the words, without the emotion that they both bring, cannot. When words fail, music (or in this case, poetry) speaks.
