yeah, its this late>>>sound

after i read this i realized that i knew absolutely nothing about poetry. I chose to write about sound because it seemed more creative and open than line.

As i started to read the very first page in the Sound chapter i already learned something new. I shot sparks off in my head as a whole new aspect of poetry. At first, when i thought of the use of sound in a poem, i automatically thought of words that make sounds, being onomatopoeia. Or maybe words that even describe sound or very closely related to a particular sound. But this lady says that the every word has its own sound. she gives some very helpful examples in the chapter of words or phrases that exhibit their own particular sounds, not from the physical word, but rather from the relation of that word has with the world. then she kind of lost me when she went into the vowels and consonants ( p.s. i did not know "w" was sometimes a vowels). then she explains consonants dividing into simivowels and mutes which i have never heard of before in all my years of education. here is were i definitely get lost, i read it three times and it does not make sense, unless i purely remember it.But later she tries to elaborate with examples and it still does not help much. i will need to ask for some further explanation during our discussion if have one on this. But on the positive side; it is quite mind boggling that the sounds that we hear and use in poetry are initially sparked by individual letters.
