You know,i had IS today and i wrote a play about me and a friend just that we have different names.I wouldn't tell you what's all about.It might be a really funny play to many but to me,it speaks of friendship,similarity in things that we do or speak.I've been doing research on the poet- Pablo Neruda,his poems are filled with passion and love.When i read it,i can imagine the way he writes his poem,it really envelopes you.its a feeling that can't be described.
Here's one:
Sonnet XVII
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
Pablo Neruda
I haven't truly master how to analyse a poem yet but I'm learning.The whole IS module on Drama and Poetry really challenges me to think out of the box,do stuff that not many people will do.Although people might say,'huh..drama and poetry..so boring la.' To me,i think its great that i chose this module, it's different from other modules and the friends in my class are absoutely wonderful and don't be surprise by the 'All male-1 Female' stuf.They are actually pretty good in acting and analysing poems.
I think poems is good because you don't have to tell or do anything to let people know how you feel,by just penning them down.It gets across to people.
