Everyone is doing it…so I will too. To Jess: props for digging into Mullen’s mind with “Between.” I think it is so cool on Mullen’s part, but I don’t like it. Just to be honest. I want to initially read or hear a poem and see or hear the beauty. I don’t mine digging a little deeper to find meaning that strikes my fancy, but I definitely do not want to have to do a lot of research. I don’t find this poem beautiful. I find it distracting, hard work, for something that should be a little more given.
This next part will make you think that I REALLY do not want to work for any meaning because of my dislike for “Between.” Honestly, I do enjoy some meaningfulness of a poem because that meaning can be the connection you feel to a certain poem.
With that, I loved the other fun candy and medicine poem, “Dear Boy George” by Auden. I used this poem as a model for my first candy and medicine poem. I really enjoyed writing my poem. I was able to write on something I am passionate about but also put meaning into it for others to interpret. I am actually excited for others to critique this poem. I hope it makes sense to them and no extensive research is needed because then I will just look like a fool.
