Poem #1
I wanted to create something using the media- graphite, ink, or watercolor- but I decided to write a series of poems instead because I haven't dabbled in poetry since high school. I was thinking that the ideas behind my poems should be about interpretation and how some things you have to infer on your own. This refers to a lot of works of art- you have to make your own interpretation sometimes-that in itself becomes personal to you, these hidden meanings. I wanted it to be a raw poem so I took advantage of the emotions I was feeling at the time I was feeling this down in the dumps. It goes well with the overall theme of my blog, especially the title.
Poem #2
I also wrote another haiku (not really) type poem that just describes empowerment and weakness mixed together. This just puts your strengths and weaknesses all on your sleeve. This of course shows what you feel growing up, trying to figure things out. I wanted people to know that sometimes fewer words spoken are stronger than a story told. There is also symbolism involved in it because I was going through some things this semester that made me change my direction and outlook on my future.
Poem #3
This one is dedicated to my roommate Theresa, who was suffering along with me at losing our co-worker, Larry, last Monday. At the loss of this kind man, she thought of all the people she lost and I was doing the same, thinking of my grandma. I felt like last week I was emotionless because of the fact that I couldn't interpret what happened. This poem talks about loss and every day after-your mind changes-the way you register things change.
