Prompt : Should poetry be difficult to understand?
In my opinion, I think a poetry should not
be created complex enough for people to understand. There are several reasons,
but most importantly, two reason should be main idea why it shouldnt be made
difficult.
First,
I believe when a poet wanted to make a poetry, they wanted to deliver somekind of
messages to the spectrum of spectators, thus difficult poetry shouldnt be
established if he/she wanted people to understand his/her poetry completely
since the audience could be coming from various background. Unless that the
poet wanted to target his/her poetry for special targeted group of audiences,
then that should be fine.
Besides,
apparently, poetries are a writing product by someone and a written work of
people which I believe should be always having an obvious purpose or message.
Yet, in a poetry they do it in an artsy language usually as far that I know.
Therefore, this is my second reason, making things artsy doesnt mean it has to
be difficult, making things beautiful doesnt mean you have to use complicated
language so that people wont understand. Back again, this is exceptional if you
want to make the poetry delivered to some kind of people with some special
degree of knowledge about complicated language.
Personally,
I guess, on the basis of its main purpose, I do believe it doesnt need to be
difficult, yet it still needs to be beautiful as what a poetry should be.
P.S. : The
written thing above was purely existed from the author’s authentic random
thoughts, not from the basis of researches, or opinion of others. Well just to
avoid those people who would like to judge thing before knowing the real thing
and to state that nobody’s perfect, basically. Last, the author does have a
freedom to give opinion right? Thank you.
