Promiscuous Poetry

By -
Rene Char was wrong when he said "a poem is always married to someone." A person may have a deep connection with a poem, but a poem is inherently a polyamorous creature and would not be confined in something as binding as marriage. At any one moment, many people will be in love with the same poem, and a poem doesn't do hierarchy. Free love for poetry! A Poem's Heart A poem's heart is fickle, it may love you now, but then it meets another pair of eyes and falls in love again. A poem sings to you alone until you leave it be and then another turns the page and lets its song be free. A poem is promiscuous, the lover of the poet, it steals a kiss from anyone and everyone who'll know it.

No sly fairy could do such injury, It will ambush you from any patch of grass. E xplanation: Wh e n I pick e d th e prompt of writing a po e m without th e l e tt e r “ E ”, e arly on, I had no id e a what to do. But th e n, I r e aliz e d that I could actually e xploit that rigid boundary to my advantag e . Writing with a confin ...

Science? Poetry.

By -
Poetry can be valuable to scientists. Contrary to portrayals in books and other media, science is not just beakers, radiation, and whiteboards covered in equations. One of the most important parts of science is interpreting the data you have obtained, especially when the correct interpretation is hidden or non-intuitive. This is where poetry comes in. Poetry is likewise something that seldom has an obvious meaning, oftentimes requiring analysis and a great deal of thought to comprehend. This Another important point is that the "hard sciences" (physics, chemistry, earth science, sometimes biology) is far from the full extent of science. Science also includes disciplines like anthropology, linguistics, psychology, sociology, and economics. Here, poetry has a more immediate connection. Linguistics is probably the most obvious, as poems are fundamentally things of language. Poetry can also provide psychological and sociological insight because poems reflect onto the psychology ...
