Poetry Remix
To fit this world
And by the world
Are shaped again.
The visible
And the invisible
Working together
In common cause,
To produce
The miraculous.
I am thinking of the way
The intangible air
Passed at speed
Round a shaped wing
Easily
Holds our weight.
So may we, in this life
Trust
To those elements
We have yet to see
Or imagine,
And look for the true
Shape of our own self,
By forming it well
To the great
Intangible about us.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gbrbUfYSt0E

Poetry Notes
- medium and format matter
- poetry starts with motion (rhythm)
- interpretation is essential
- iambic is used to create rhythm and beat
Ex: in Shakespeare only insignificant characters speak in prose
~ quick conversations carry iambic pentameter between character
- tone: the authors attitude towards the characters, the audience, or subject
- mood: the readers feeling as they read
- theme: the central message of the peice
