Since this week’s topic is appreciating poetry, I would like to share some opinions of my own on that theme.
First of all, I have to admit that I am lack of a sense of poems, which means if it is my turn to think of and write out a poem, I will definitely not live up to others’ anticipation including mine. For my part, poems are products of poets’ emotion. Whatever moods poets are in, terrible, sorrowful or pleasant, elated, we can look through their poems and find the reflection more or less. Actually, poems are in different types, long or short, in good order or not. In some parts, poems are difficult to compose; in other aspects, it is not. From my perspective, sometimes poems are a complex of controversies.
Another point is that poems in various countries reflect different culture background. You may find it hard to understand foreign poems sometimes by the way how they are translated into your mother tongue. Poets use particular symbolism and arrange it in specific parts of a poem to convey a special feeling when they are doing some composition. Traditional Chinese poems contain a large amount of symbolism, such as sunshine, moonlight, grass, lake and so on. In a word, most of objects we can see around us can be chosen as symbolism, even some imaginary things.
When I was in high school, I did hate poems in the Chinese test, but to the poem itself, I like it. In my opinion, poems is a reflection of the writer's emotion and thoughts,whereas to the readers, what they gain from poems depends on theie own situation.That also brings us a lot of imagination.
ReplyDeleteEmotion is hard to express and harder to understand. Every one has his or her own understanding about one poem. However, I just try to enjoy the poems that can arouse an echo in my heart.
ReplyDeleteIt is a emotional way of expressing ourselves to write poems, and when others read them, we tend to understand it in our ways, but it does not ruin the atmosphere the poets creats, pheharps that is the charm of poems.
ReplyDeleteI am not into poems too.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you have your own opinions towards poems. Personally, I think Chinese poetry is numerous and educational, and I believe you have your own favorite poem. Once studying abroad, we should always read Chinese literature to keep in touch with Chinese.
