The Awakening Of The Third Eye

Poetry in some way, shape or form, gives realistic ideas to even objects that reflect upon a part of life by using symbolism and personification.

What is poetry? Is poetry about your feelings? Is poetry meant for you to deliberate or read between the lines? Elizabeth Alexander, a black educator that teaches poetry, believes that poetry is where you are your true self and finding yourself. In 2005, she published one of her poems called “Ars Poetica #100: I Believe.” She constructed the poem to speak to her students about her meaning of poetry. Poetry causes various emotions, various content, and based on various forms of realities.

Poetry is considered to be a representational text in which one explores ideas by using symbols. Poetry can be interpreted many different ways and is even harder to interpret when the original author has come and gone. Poetry is an incredible form of literature because the way it has the ability to use the reader as part of its own power. In other words, poetry uses the feelings and past experiences of the reader to interpret things differently from one to another, sometimes not even by choice of the author. Two famous poets come to mind to anybody who has ever been in an English class, Robert Frost and E.E. Cummings. Both of these poets have had numerous famous pieces due to the fact that they both

Poetry is the representation of mental thoughts, it symbolize all the conflicts that dominate the poets mind either from childhood memories or impressions laid down by the society which is always in the process of gradual change. Every writer has something beforehand in mind which acts as an inspiration for his/her writing. Every poet after being inspired need to present his mental agony or bliss in a way that he be able to make his reader fathom the real and core meaning of the issues tossing in his mind. The poet revamps and tries to convey his message in the form of words which may or may not convey what he/she actually wants, so as at times vocabulary couldn’t find the appropriate word for a feeling. The poets cannot claim and remain adamant

Poetry is a very misunderstood form of writing, however one of the purest and beautiful forms of writing. It is a sense of the beautiful; portrayed by a love of beauty and expressing thus through words. It is an art, but like art it is very hard to define because it is an expression of the authors thoughts and feelings and may take any form the author wishes.

To me, any kind of art presents an opportunity to gain a new perspective on things. Poetry, music, painting, and even dance, can all be used to portray the beauty of the world to audiences. However, they can also be used to portray overlooked, even dark, sides of the world. I believe that poetry is able to do this better than any other art form. As stated in a previous journal, poets are not confined to the normal rules and regulations that other writers might be. They can write what they feel and more importantly in this case, they can write what they see. Naomi Shihab Nye addresses this perfectly when she says, "that was the job of poems, we decided. To give us a sense of others' lives close up. Poems could be a zoom lens in a world of

This is the rife view of poetry: as a heinous person who makes you pull your hair out in frustration. However if you got to know them, they might end up as your best friends.

People are drawn to poetry because it uses words to express emotions that most people

Poetry. We all read it, some of us make it, but one thing is for certain, we can all enjoy it. Some people say they don’t but deep inside they do. Even those who can’t read enjoy listening to it.

The video“The Empire of the Eye” taught me about the visual perspective. This form of art was created in Florence, Italy by Brunelleschi and he called it the linear perspective. The key component was that parallel lines converge at the vanishing point.

Not all people have consciously worked on accessing third eye wisdom or perception. Many are very frightened of their ability to access wisdom, or information that seems to come from the unknown. Others don't question where it comes from but they just access it.

Poetry is a form of English that I like to call free. I say it is free because there are no boundaries to what you can say and there is no wrong way to write poetry. Poetry allows the act of expression to exist without the consistency of having to worry about punctuation, complete sentences, and length. Another aspect of poetry I enjoy is the interpretation one receives while reading. A poem can have many interpretations because no two people think alike or read things the same.

Poetry is a varied art form. Poetry is expression with words, using aesthetics and definition. Word choice in poetry is the single most important thing. Devices such as assonance, alliteration and rhythm work in a poem to convey a certain image or to facilitate understanding. Similes and metaphors can take two unlike objects, such as a potato and cinderblock, and if done the correct way use them to describe how Abraham Lincoln dealt with scoundrels. Poetry is beautiful. One of the best genres in poetry, let alone a great literary movement is Romanticism or the post-enlightenment Romantics.

Many people who write poems understand the world around them more than the average populace, due to the fact that they can observe nature itself in a finer aspect in comparison to a person who doesn’t. The reason why I say this is because they train themselves to be more self-aware about the surroundings around them. In my personal opinion, I believe

Literature from then to today has been the most outstanding art that almost all enjoy from any where around the world. Literature has various types that each one enjoys. There are short stories that are small and concise stories of similarity to novels, novels that are longer versions of short stories, plays or acts that have people play the characters of the written work, and finally we have poetry the most short yet most difficult to understand. I find poetry one of the literary works I prefer reading. In my opinion poetry will always be something I could relate to and problem solve. There are so many mysteries that poetry include in such a small and concise literary work. In many cases poetry will lead you to so much questions that all vary on your perspectives and what you think and believe the poetic work consist of, what it all means all fall under what the reader’s point of view is. Just like any other literary
