(no subject)
about to to turn in my last assignment of junior year. 10:40 am. one of a series of all nighters this week.
here are side notes i took as i wrote my essay. (the poem is "a dream of jealousy" by seamus heaney, if you're interested and ever want to talk about it/him.)
...
the way birds mingle before people awake
the way we cannot watch birds when we are not there
the way birds cannot pose for a portrait and we draw them only
from memory.
or in their unmoving death.
the freshness of morning
the cold of air
the tidy certain succinct comprehensible answers
“Universe, I am a force to be reckoned with” -joey dejesus
we are all poets/artists/creators because we all dream (at night)
a dream and a poem are not dissimilar
exploration of who a speaker of poetry is.
who a writer and reader of an essay is.
what a poem, a dream and an interpretation are
how language plays into our perceptions
the reader/viewer as a creator. empowering!
impassioned. the way the essay can move the reader like a poem.
