Assignment (post on your blog for Monday):
Find a poem in
BEFORE I LEAVE
Before I leave
Capture this moment
Like the winds on the beach
Let it waft with chilling breeze
On the shores of your conscious
Stirring a foam of nostalgia
Ebbing back on the sea of this moment
Before I leave
Wrap me in your arms
As a slime trail
May the touch be imprinted on your skin
Light of this moment, glitter with silvery touch
Ages even after we part ways
Before I leave
Let me stay a little longer
As a ripe fruit
The love shared at the moment
Gather scintillating colors
Arousing fragrance
Even after it fall on the ground of loneliness
The birds may soar around it with admiration
Identify the moment of change (is this an emotional change? a new intellectual understanding?)
This moment actually is a moment that stands for the representation of love. The moment of love perhaps will disappear after the protagonist leave. Therefore, this moment is significant. Leaving everything worthwhile and memorable.
Then the hard part: how did the poet create this change?
From my perspective, this poem does not describe the situation that after changing directly. On the contrary, the author focuses attention on description of this moment. “Like the winds on the beach”, “glitter with silvery touch”, “The birds may soar around it with admiration”. During this moment, everything is involved with happiness. It make us do not dare to think about the situation after this moment. Although we all know after this moment, the result is not good. It is possible to become sad even miserable. Author wants to depict the beautiful picture at this moment to make audience understand the sadness after this moment. This is how this poet creates this change.
