How to understand Helium poets interpretation of love

 

Helium poets write love poetry

Many Helium poets continue to expand the vast horizon of various possible interpretations of love by writing and publishing their own unique love poetry on www.helium.com.

Can too much love poetry ever be written? Probably not.

Imagine a poet as his poetic thoughts about love, begin to flow freely. Truly inspired as he gazes at the vast horizon of life, he pens words that come to him. Every poem he writes opens  the horizon of love further. He writes until there simply are no more words to write.

While we can read the poetry of Helium poets, how are we to understand or interpret each poet's unique interpretation of love?

Instructions

Step 1
Accept each love poet’s unique perspective on love

Each love poet writes from his or her own unique and individual perspective. Reading the love poet's poetry will help to familiarize you with how the love poet  perceives the concept of love.

Step 2
Be prepared to soar to the mountain peak

The truly unique and inspired love poet can take his or her reader to the highest mountain peak, with his or her poetic words. Being prepared to soar wherever the love poet leads in his interpretation of love, opens one's own understanding of love poetry further, as well as expanding the vast horizon of the love poetry as written and compiled by the love poet..

Step 3
Remember that love poetry can be interpreted many ways

Even a young child can relate to love poetry. Perhaps you may not ever know, or understand  his or her interpretation of the love poet's words about love. That does not really matter. What does matter is the fact  that there is love, regardless of its multiplicity, diversity and complexity of expression.

"Daffodils" by William Wordsworth (poetry reading)

As Abe Lincoln said, "For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like." This is Wordsworth's most famous poem and, in fact, one of the most famous poems in English literature so I can't just ignore it. It has been inflicted on generations of hapless schoolchildren. A collection of Daffodils is more a "patch" than a "crowd" or a "host" - except if they're in a "never-ending line", when perhaps "row" would be more appropriate. The line will of course not be "never-ending" and it's nowhere near as big as the Milky Way because man, that's like, really humungous: anyway he lost my credulity when he claimed to be able to count ten-thousand at a glance. I have to mention that daffodils are not golden, they're yellow and they can't dance. The notion that daffodils or waves have human emotions such as glee or jocundity or that clouds can be lonely is called "The Pathetic Fallacy", an expression coined by John Ruskin. en.wikipedia.org If your heart dances when you're lying on your couch then it's probably atrial fibrillation; not serious in itself but keep a phone in reach and remember to tell your doctor who will arrange an electrocardiogram. The word "sprightly" is used these days to describe a certain sort of old man. My wife has my permission to stifle me with a pillow if anybody ever calls me "sprightly". Still, who am I to criticise, if daffodils or this poem fills your heart with pleasure and makes it dance? Let me give Honest Abe the last word too ...
