Description
Poetry allows us to see the secrets of the soulPoetry allows us to comprehend what we don't understand because understanding leads to compassion. Poetry starts with intention. Poetry creates a picture into a obstacle, memory thought, feeling or intentionTo fully understand poetry we will work through the following content:•Theme•Form•Diction•Tone•Imagery•Sound Devices•Rhythm and RhymeAs we work through the topics, an explanation will be given and then we will apply what was learnt to a poem. I do look forward to sharing our thoughts on poetry and it's subjective nature. These topics will enable you to understand and analyse any piece of writing. These are some simple tools to decipher and create poetry an in turn to embrace that we cannot understand it all. We can sympathize but never empathise. Each road is different. Our only link is humanity."We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." -Robin Williams
