Words are magical.
Thoughts once unspoken are later heard,
As good-byes no longer stay permanent.
They create a way to not be forgotten.
Instead, immortality is gained,
Through thoughts and ideas as a flow of words.
Writing even inspires the present and the future of many.
In the end, words are an endless flow of magic.
I especially like the 2nd and 3rd versus. Although we have already mentioned it many times in class and amongst other poems, i still feel that they hold some validity. We will meet many people, and we will want to keep in touch with some of them. Ultimately, we may not see each other ever again, but through words our "good-byes no longer stay permanent". I like that.
ReplyDelete"words are an endless flow of magic." There is something sorta magical about symbols that we all agree on to convey meaning isn't there? I hadn't thought of it exactly like that before. Just an idea, not really a criticism, but don't we sometimes wish good-byes were permanent? I dunno.
ReplyDeletewow, I really like this. You seem to capture and expound upon the written power of words. Great transformations of the original poem and interpretations of the phrases from the board!
ReplyDelete"immortality is gained"...nice sound to it. One of my favorite parts!
