    Poem Commentary

    My English teacher pointed something out as we study poetry. Words can portray emotions. So, I decided to create the illusion of becoming lost in a forest, with nothing but words. Please do enjoy.

    Bemused

     I once wandered into a forest
    And left a world I knew
    And then items transmutated
    as I, then, traversed, thus through

    I, incognizant
    amongst coniferous and angiosperms
    amid Foxglove and Breadnut
    betwixt Boojum and Coco de Mer

    Wayward and rapt
    then, a refulgence
    Acceleration towards erudition
    lead to over-indulgance

    Absconded, headed outwards
    A place I recognize as friend
    and I refuse, so confused
    to ever go there again

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
