I became interested in english language and editing a few years ago, and lately I’ve been thinking about words and associations. I used to love aliterations, and “creative” words, really concise sentences, now I’ve expanded it and I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about words and sounds. I find some words just sound beautiful.
I thought about that thing that goes, “killing me softly”. I thought it was awsome having the word “killing”, a very sharp sounding word, contrasted with softly, a, for more reasons, is an very soft sounding word.
Poetry is an inherently emotional and pretty inexplicable endeavor. Just think about the roots of poetry, and the divinely inspired and so on. When you actually try to break it up to where you are removing it’s emotional, and i daresay, its most appealing qualities, you get this infinetly interesting universe, of sounds, meanings, math, and so much more.
To be a true poet is incredible. They are in touch with a world that is pretty hard for anyone, of the less inspired, I’ll say, to understand.
