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
