'For the beautiful light has come'. Yes again, after years of independent, Nigeria now is the most populous black nation in the world, the number 1 fastest growing economy in Africa, Nigeria has done very well in making herself known in all the corners of the world. Her citizens are flourishing in every continent.


As we said, using objects in poetry add themes to your poems. Can we relate to this message from this poem now?

Question sir!

Can a reader decipher the writer's poem up to an eighty percent accuracy (without "off-poem" clues/notes)?

Last class I read the poem repeatedly and couldn't (really) read things outside the presented text
... The poem was great (and i waa confused)
as poets, we value our words, we see them as our coins, our codes, our symbols etc, it is only a poet that can derive another theme from your poem. When my partner was writing this, he had one thing in his mind, 'the bulb'. But as poets, we must learn to look at other poets' works with different eyes.

It is possible,but i guess that is why the clue is there...to serve as a guideline, Its just like a syntax to follow in order to decipher the poem.

I in particular was confused about the ray (The part the white man left).

Ok... So we (readers) are free to create different themes from a poem.

Speaking personally, one of the delights of writing and reading poetry has been the way it enriches my experience of sensual world, alerting me to things that would otherwise go unobserved. For me every poem is an act of retrieval, an attempt to record the transient. So now, in signing out of the class, good night.

Before I sign out as my partner, I will add to what he said. Some may fail, but the very fact an attempt has been made seems to me a positive to set against mortality. With his observation, I seem to be moving into the realm of general meanings myself, but perhaps that's because I believe that everythings about Poetry is important enough to deserve its capital P after all. Till the next class, thanks, donifez, Gloria, buqqi, Qaisar and others. Long live NPC!!! Goodnight

Getting down now from our Audi, Yusjet, the Audi owner wait for me to get down first before locking his car's door. We dart into the class together. 'Where is Everest and other?' I said, asking the seated students, none answer. I pick a chalk ABD move to the blackboard.

Today, we will finish the topic we've been discussing 'Using Object In Poetry' and move to the next topic in the next class. Just as Yuzjet's Poem was studied last class, Harlos's Poem shall be the Poem of Study tonight. Sit tight and relax as we take u all to another journey in the beauties of Poetry Lesson.

Therefore, today's topic will be tagged 'Using Object In Poetry, Part 4'

INTRODUCTION:
Beginning to write a poetry is a process of learning to look at the world differently. To be able to construct vivid, believable narratives when using an object in poetry, a poet needs to develop a sharp eye for the details in the world around then, details that are often easy to miss in the hustle and bustle of everyday living.

The creative aspects of a poem are the point at which theme and the poetic devices begin to take on their shape, where the poem starts to come alive in the mind of the reader. It is here, in the cement of a text that a poem will stand or fall. It is not just any theme a poet looks for when using an object, it is the theme and the poetic devices that must of course be ONE.
