Prompt Response
According to the critic, every moment in life could be poetic. In my opinion I think that not everything can be poetic. Some things can in fact be poetic but not everything. For example going to the bathroom or taking a shower isn’t really something to be poetic about. But things like your first kiss or getting married is something that can be poetic. No not every moment in life lends itself to poetry and someone who thinks that is naïve and childish. Although I suppose that everyone has their own opinions and maybe someone could think that going to the bathroom is poetic and that your first kiss isn’t or that maybe everything to them is poetic. I don’t understand though how everything could be perceived that way. I think that it also depends on the person, for example I am not whatsoever poetic but some other people just have that gift and talent to pop out a poem from the top of their head. If someone is super poetic I’m sure that to them every moment could be poetic but to me I disagree and I think part of that reason is because it blows my mind how something with no meaning could be made into a poem.
