scarr:MISPLACED PIORITY?! wow, man i think you are on the wrong path, what's harassment compared to death? could it be compared to giving your life for a whole NATION? This men dare to steer death in the eyes with retarded armors. They life span are shortened so ours can be longer. With all these islam, political, tribal extremism, and plain hatred for one another, this men go in and lay their lives on the line, and we simply watch it on CNN and BBC unaware than under all the political decisions that its this men with unphantomably courage that acttually pay for the peace of a nation with their life!!! |

scarr:one that do not fully love poetry or appreciate it. Has now made himself a judge of the provisions of a poetic mind. Sir like i stated in my article which probably brought you here. There re several instruments available to a poet, in the prosecution of a poem. They call them figure of speech. We have: hyperbole: this figure of speech appreciates exaggeration to drive an idea home. E.g the wine drunk at the party is enough to float a ship.( Doesn't mean any sailor is about to attempt such novel navigational feat. By floating a cruiser on a sea of wine.) antonomasia: derived from the Greek word "onoma", when something or someone's office,reputation or fame is transferred to another in literature e.g wole soyinka is the African Shakespeare. Okay what if we liken those that do not really appreciate poetry to suicide bombers as they both bring to an end a thing of beauty. Does that make them suicide bombers? Ok something common. What if i say " i drank a glass of water" does that mean i just injested a glass cup holding water? The beauty of poetry is in you being able to decode its true meaning. The comment you quoted permit me to say. Is a victim of poetic reverie. AkunneObinna: |
