You know I wasn't thinking of specific anaolgies, only trying to capture the scene I saw playing in my head.<BR/>The scene was born from a gut reaction to the Oscar Wilde quote, and the title is important to the poem, "To An Unknown."<BR/>I guess the images that are important to me in this poem, revolve around this man getting ready to set out on a journey, but before leaving he is overwhelmed by the merchants who load him up with gods.<BR/>Why are they giving him these gods? Why is this man going on this journey? What will he find in the end? <BR/>These are the questions that surfaced for me as I wrote this poem.<BR/>What do you think?Christinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929226208854474967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13381427.post-1135219372485464222005-12-21T18:42:00.000-08:002005-12-21T18:42:00.000-08:00Here were my guesses:friends (cell phone -- little...Here were my guesses:<BR/><BR/>friends (cell phone -- little round god with a metal back)<BR/>money (purse -- made of fur a slung over the shoulder)<BR/><BR/>love the imagery for the third god but it beats me . . . <BR/><BR/>anyway, if the purpose is to evoke a feeling a provoke thought, the poem definitely puts me in a certain frame of mind<BR/><BR/>DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13381427.post-1135197684111225772005-12-21T12:41:00.000-08:002005-12-21T12:41:00.000-08:00It means the the language is tight.
