 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
For "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  Prompt What was your biggest learning experience in 2020? === From my personal experiences in 2020, I learned how durable, independent, and fearless I am, something I never knew or even suspected about myself. It was an eye-opener, though it came through a lot of pain. In general, though, I saw how petty some people could be and how generous and helpful others are. In most ways, my affection for the humankind has increased because of the different ways I saw people react to a pandemic. To tell the truth, I will never miss 2020. It was the most hellish year in my life and certainly it was one of a kind as far as the world history is concerned.  For: "Space Blog" Prompt: From lavarion   ’s "Poetry" What are your views on this? ---- Poetry to me is artistically sculpted language that expresses and evokes feelings and throws a light on subjects and emotions that a piece of straight prose can’t. Yet, poetry cannot be defined or nailed down to a certain method. Any such effort always gets lost in time and meets its timely death. Sometimes, the rhyming, musicality, or the beat in the lines add to the emotion and expression of it. This is fine by me. But no one should expect those things from all poets. If the poem has a certain quality to it, if its meaningful, expressive, and lets the reader discover some awareness and emotion, it doesn’t matter whether a poem has a form or not. From that point of view and because I love a good poem in any shape or form or without any shape or form, I say, each to his or her own as far as poets are concerned. I also believe that poetry has an ever-evolving quality, which keeps it alive. Plus, the conditions of the place, time, and nationalities offer the poetry readers a variety of poems and styles, as an almost feast to enjoy. |
