I wanted flowers, I just wanted to raise my hands to the sky and be completely empty. How liberating it is, you can't even imagine - the peace is so great that it startles, and it doesn't ask for anything; a name tag, some small items. Those around it finally closed; I can imagine how they close their mouths like conditional loaves.
Tulips are first of all too red, they hurt me. Through the wrapping paper, I could hear them breathing lightly, through their white skirts, like a terrible suction. Their red chatters my wound, it responds. They are cunning: they seem to be floating, although they are pressing me, they bother me with their sharp tongues and colors, dozens of red lead weights around my neck.
No one watched me before, now I am watched. The tulips turn towards me and the window behind me, where the light slowly expands and slowly fades once a day, and I see myself, flat, laughable, a paper silhouette between the eyes of the sun and the eyes of the tulips, and I have no face, I have wanted to disappear invisibly. The life-loving tulips are eating my oxygen.
I originally embarked on this with the thought that it would be a rapid read. More often than not, poetry can be such. However, these particular poems were densely filled with an abundance of elements. It feels as though each and every one of them could potentially have its very own Socratic Seminar dedicated to it. The author employs alliteration with such frequency, yet blends it in a manner that is simply beautiful. I would truly relish the opportunity to engage in a discussion about some of these within a literature circle. It has made me nostalgic for those college English days. Without a doubt, it is most definitely worth a read!!
Music is truly a wonderful and powerful thing. It has the ability to touch our hearts, evoke a wide range of emotions, and bring people together from all walks of life. Whether it's the soothing melodies of classical music, the energetic beats of pop or rock, or the soulful rhythms of jazz and blues, there is a type of music for everyone.
Listening to music can have a profound impact on our mood and well-being. It can help us relax after a long and tiring day, boost our energy when we need it, and even provide a source of inspiration and motivation. Music can also be a great way to express ourselves and communicate our feelings, especially when words fail us.
Moreover, music has played an important role in different cultures and traditions throughout history. It has been used in religious ceremonies, celebrations, and storytelling, and has evolved over time to reflect the changing values and beliefs of society. Today, music continues to be an essential part of our lives, and we can enjoy it in many different forms, such as live concerts, recorded albums, and online streaming services. So, let's celebrate the beauty and power of music and keep on listening! nagu muusika!
