POETRY’S NOT DEAD<br />

Poetry is the mechanism that makes it possible<br />

to turn language into art. The moment we<br />

capture through language paints a thousand<br />

pictures in the reader’s mind…so, how can it be<br />

dead? This really can’t be the case.<br />

Roundness in the Merriam-Webster has nine<br />

definitions. NINE! Can you believe that? And<br />

people say that the dictionary is boring! Can you<br />

imagine having 9 sides to your personality?<br />

Roundness has a curve for all of its definitions<br />

and we’ll get into it.<br />

The Roundness of it All is social commentary, especially if you look at the visuals with the poem<br />

together. Social commentary really just means an overarching comment on what the artist sees<br />

in their society as an issue normally. You could of course choose to make a pleasant comment<br />

on our society but social commentary is usually used to highlight a blatant problem. Instead of<br />

using social commentary to comment on others, have you ever thought to use your art to reflect<br />

a comment back to yourself? Sometimes it’s more important to look inward and see our own<br />

faults rather than pointing the finger away from ourselves and towards others.<br />

We all really need to remember that there is more to a word than meets the eye, there could be<br />

9 definitions in the dictionary literally for just one word. If words are like that…then don’t you<br />

think a lot of other things could be too???<br />

The Roundness of It All<br />

round & round we go<br />

sharing this circle<br />

this big sphere<br />

a rock<br />

you’d think<br />

we’d be better
