Poetry can be compared to painting. when you look at a work of art, you first see it for what it is-a depiction of a person, an animal, a place, or a thing. you'll notice the colors and the textures, and maybe how the light shines across a window or highlights a patch of flowers.(1)____ these are the things what you see on the surface.(2)____ then you look a little close at some of the fine details.(3)____ how did the painter make white paint to look silver against blue drapery?(4)____ how did the artist catch that sad look in the eyes of the child? how on earth did it actually make an apple look so real that you could always reach out and grab it off the table?(5)____(6)____
now what about abstract art? what do you see in these paintings? strange shapes and images-are they recognized?(7)____ do they make you feel a certain way? when you look at abstract art maybe you don't necessary see as much as you are actually feeling.To some people, poetry is like abstract art. some people feel that poetry is too objective to the artist for the reader to be able to fully understand it.(8)____ how can you make the sense of words that don't necessarily say a story?(9)____(10)____ to appreciate art, you must first appreciate your own sensibiliities, and then you must appreciate form and texture. with poetry, you start with an appreciation of and trust for your own feelings, and then you examine your appreciation of words and the magic they make when they're used together.
