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.

Art strengthens the mind in ways that no other subject can.   Another thing this class has taught me is there is no wrong way to do poetry. I wasn't sure what to expect coming into it, but I'm glad I cho

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
