surrealist


Catfish walking sideways down the never-ending hall.
The waves are crashing hard against the wooden castle walls.
 Red carpet spans the spiraling staircase.
Up, up, up, it goes.
See the stars twinkling down into the yard,
a massive garden erupts from the ash.
Petals are dancing through the night
as the brisk air whistles through the trees.

Say it isn't so as the night begins to end
the sun peaks his head up from the waters loving grasp
horses silhouetted atop the river's hills
dew sparkling in the new found light
hearts are racing through the fields of green
If home they were, then home they must go.
Eyes are sparkling in crevices and crooks.
One more day may pass, or has it gone?
Just listen to the moonlight as it starts to sing its song.

An “Image” is that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time. I use the term “complex” rather in the technical sense employed by the newer psychologists, such as Hart, though we might not agree absolutely in our application. It is the presentation of such a “complex” instantaneously which gives that sense of sudden liberation; that sense of freedom from time limits and space limits; that sense of sudden growth, which we experience in the presence of the greatest works of art. -EZRA POUND When I decide where to put line breaks in my poems I normally go by rythym. A lot of my poems double as songs, as I like to put the words to music. Therefore most of my breaks are every four lines, as to keep up with each verse. Although if I were not writing a song I would put the break where is seems natural, like a pause or conclusion of a topic. Where your breath naturally ends. Edward Hirsh talks about the latter in an artice about the line and when to create ...

Meaning can be important in poetry if that is the intention of the poet. In my opinion poetry doesn’t have to have meaning to be considered a good poem. However, the poem will probably have a stronger effect on the reader, and the writer might be more passionate about the poem if it does have a significant meaning. I believe that the best art is created when the artist makes work about something significant that happened to them. This type of art is the most raw, the artist puts intense feelings out for the public eye to see, they are vulnerable. This applies in all forms of art, and can be applied to poetry as well. If the artist is passionate about their subject matter they make better work, and it shows. Readers will feel if an artist isn’t giving their all. When it comes to understanding meaning, I would say look over a piece for at least 3-5 minutes and point out the obvious things. For me, some of the best art doesn’t reveal it’s intention right away, and isn’t obvious at fir...
