What does a poet desire

As he creates a poem?

Surely on his words you reflect

And analyze his thoughts.

 

Will they be what the author envisioned

As he created the poem?

Or will his words instill

Different thoughts entirely?

 

Let us not think in terms

Of what the author set out to do.

But in how his words inspired us

To write a comment on his poem.

A comment could be scuttlebutt,
Keeping us out of a rut,
Could be as well considered just a remark,
Put forth by an errant matriarch...-e-

I WHOLE-HEARTILY AGREE. FOR, A HUNDRED PEOPLE MIGHT READ THE SAME WORK AND THAT ONE WORK WILL MEAN SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO EACH PERSON. AND THIS IS BECAUSE WE ARE INDIVIDUALS AND ABSORB AND INTERPRET WRITINGS DIFFERENTLY BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCES AND PERSONAL OPINIONS. BUT ISN'T IT WONDERFUL THAT THIS IS SO? THAT A WRITER CAN WRITE ONE WORK AND TOUCH MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT WAYS? OF THE MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT READ A WORK 'SOMEONE' IS GOING TO UNDERSTAND JUST WHAT THE AUTHOR MEANT. A READER WILL OFTEN GET A FEED-BACK THAT SAYS, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT 'GOT IT', BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER READERS? THEY INTERPRETED IT AS TO WHAT IT MEANT TO THEM AND THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. THE 'JOY' OF WRITING WAS MEANT TO BE ENJOYED AND APPRECIATED BY THE 'JOY' OF INTERPRETATION AND OPINIONS - IT MAKES THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF WRITERS AND READERS...'GO ROUND'. THANKS FOR SHARING, GEORGE. LOVE,BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
