You can, but should you?

Can you force a poem?
Describe a feeling?
Rationalize your actions?
Personal responsibility
(--me as an isolated unit--)
is the rape of clarity.
Attempting to experience the perspective of another
amounts to logical circularity.

You should, yes. It is good to write with heart, but it is not enough. Every single word has power, but that power has to be utilized properly. In order to understand a words power you must understand both its emotional and material form.
Rape, for instance, has a negative connotation. The word means to take by force. It is also used to describe forced sex. Because of that societal binding, the word has a very strong emotional presence.
But look how you/'/ve used it. You are denuding its power. Is personal responsibility the rape of clarity, or is it the theft of clarity? The words are synonyms, but each holds a different strength of power. You have chosen a word with too much power for the meaning of the sentence. And so it becomes weaker, and it weakens the whole sentence.
Don/'/t take this as negative criticism. It/'/s just something to consider. The poem as whole got me thinking. So cheers.

I think you should sometimes it/'/s good to do something you can just because. In writing it makes good practice to write. Sometimes I get writers block and I force a small stanza usually afterwards I think of seomthign i want to write.
Great write hope to read more soon

wondering if you should give it a moments thought
to be thinking about feeling is I believe a glorious thing to have thought. I think it leads to many things to be thought about. Possibly a manifest destiny trickles slowly at first from the heart then builds towards understanding logic
which contemplates other peoples thought, which is something to know without to change them.
anything is a poem that describes a human feeling or thought.
This is a more than an attempted distraction what you wrote, you could call it a benediction of poetic art.
I would.
Peace!

| I enjoy short poems that can pack so much into it that even a few words can let your mind wander. Sometimes forcing the words on a page can deliver the different. Something creative that wasn/'/t planned. That little something that was missing. This was very interesting. |
