Last week, in English literature class we started talking about poetry, and its main elements. Also, we read Octavio Paz's essay, Poesía y Poema, translated to english as Poetry and Poem.
Even though the class in which we started to talk about poetry was very inspiring and thought-provocative, my feelings for poetry were already firm enough since I had already read and analyzed poetry and poems in second semester and what I think of it remains the same.
Poetry is gorgeous. Poetry drives crazy whoever has the privilege to read it, filling them with multiple feelings and emotions hard to control, making them feel identified with the author and the poem itself. Poetry is wonderful, as it may reflect different themes and circumstances. Poetry may be as an instrument to conquer the world's most gorgeous and intelligent woman, and also, be used as a weapon to hate and curse the most despicable beings.
Not only its meaning is wonderful, but also its structure. Even if it looks easy being able to write poetry, it is not. Writing verses so sophistically composed may take up to hours or even days.
Poetry is beautiful and sophisticated at the same time. Poetry should be respected and also the wonderful minds behind it.
