The Art of drowing

 This is a synopsis regarding time and its lack of patience .At first glance,you would say that the main idea is the act of drowning but it is not.The true protagonist is time;which is clearly stated in the tittle "The Art of Drowning".It is simple enough to say that we have envision how it  would  seem when your going through this situation due to its straight forward image conveyed.In this whole orchestrated escaped of images such as water, a fish,and cinematic/picturesque nations achieve to emphasize the them e of the poem.Collins simply states that time is waisting away and we do not realize  until  an event such as a near-death experience occurs.This is an eye opening realization on how precious life and how easily it can be taking away; which leads us to value every little second of a day.

But the tender grace of a day that is  dead Will never come back to me. -Tennyson

Artistic Tragedy

Marisol Lozano Poetry Pg.1 It's a shame A tragedy really An Artist's state An Artist The one who sees beyond the seven seas The one who distinguishes between rationality and irrationality but only to conflict themselves with the gravitational pull of emotion vs presence. The goal is preservation Against the odds who hold you back Against time who seems to strike And how? By captivating an emotion unknown to the naked eye At the same time criticized harshly by others who are pin pointing technicalities It's a shame A tragedy really An Artist The one who sees  beyond the seven seas And wants nothing more but to please And ease the ache from society's burden While it is encouraged to think outside the box This practically is forbidden It's just an expression whose only job is to mock And play with your mind Until you do mind And question the point From the start to the end point When all of those miles traveled seem to accumulate just ...

Introduction to poetry

Introduction to poetry I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide Or press an ear against its hive I say drop a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out Or walk inside a poem's room and feel the walls for a light switch I want them to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author's name on the shore. But all they want to do is to tie the poem to a chair with  rope and torture a confession out of it. They begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means. -Billy Collins
