PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The sublime terror and: The sublime terror and anticipation! That 50/50 chance of it going either way, nothing like that swell at landings, entrances, vestibules, doorways and archways and doorsteps. 

The contention that arises: The contention that arises and also that brings most tension in these adaptations are the occasional dilemma that presents itself in the form of individual languages' differences in structure and employment. Languages don't always behave in the same manner and fashion at all times and when subjecting words and lines to structures that on that specific occasion the adapting grammar and syntax won't allow, then the resulting line proves forced and stilted. So when that happens what is the author to do but go to the heart and purpose of these structures and guides, the intent and soul of the form. Form should be the vehicle, the means of displaying the soul and not the other way around. It took many years to warm to this understanding before I could face and begin to enjoy e.g. haiku that is outside the 5-7-5 format, etc. And in so doing gained a better appreciation and respect for 5-7-5 in English that does conform and exemplify the source genre, in other languages other than the original. But that's probably much said in this space.

Thank you very much.  I: Thank you very much.  I appreciate your comment very much.  I think the poem exists in order to present that last line, and those words came right out of nowhere while I was looking for a way to conclude it.  Thanks for the validation; and thanks for commenting during this difficult time.

Thank you.  I agree that the: Thank you.  I agree that the difference between a flower and a weed is often a judgement; but is it, also, an aesthetic judgement.  And yes, real weeds do have to struggle against adversity.  But literary weeds are, possibly, something else altogether.
