Kay Ryan on poetry
"My theory is a poem should set you free -- reading a real poem should leave you feeling less tired and more exquisitely yourself. Aerated. You've been speeded up and perhaps somewhat dispersed, your bits enjoying more distance from each other than they had previously."
i always thought that poems should be written selfishly. this is the piece of literature where we pour our emotions and leave them be. its the part where our emotions radiate to a reader. forcing them to feel extreme emotions, be it happiness, sadness or madness. i always thought that it is a piece of entertainment- for those lazy readers.
maybe i was wrong. because that definition of poetry is long damned. i think i have abused it. in a way when i just run to it when i am morose. and i no longer write when there's nothing more. maybe, it is the way that i curse it- because i tend to absorb everything. then i have to blame it.
