An Imagism Poem
Background information: This is a poem written by the aspiring young writer XuanD, 15, in response to what his Language Arts teacher had forced everyone in his class to do: Write a personal reflection after reading Florence William's poem. From his language, phrasings and use of poetic devices, we can clearly see his frustration and indignance. This poem had also won the Nobel Prize in Literature for Integrated Programme Students (NPLIPS) in 2005, and has since received much public appraisal. Note: the poem our dear poet was referring to in the poem was Florence William's poem, which was entitled "Crap"
Title: what the hEcK!?
i think this poem totally carries no meaning.
to me its more of a rushed note written by the wife
to the husband than some romantic crap poem.
content of the poem is totally meaningless
mann!
what ice box got blueberries and bread box got bread.
c'mon la if you wanna
call that a poem,
then i tell you,
in my life ive composed thousands of poems.
even this block of text meant for venting anger can be
considered a poem mann. and
her husband's "poem" is no better,
if worse.
oh yeah, i forgot to say,
some of the words are not grammatically correct,
like "plenty of bread in the bread-box."
hey if you wrote that
in ms chan's journals, you will immediately earn a "g" or an "e".
bullshit. what the hEcK!
and see the last line of the stupid words:
several people called up about office hours.
makes no sense! its like youre writing abt what the hell
you put in what the hell at home,
then you suddenly go rambling on about office hours.
c'mon, if that's in the journal,
then you'll receive another bonus:
a comment saying "how do you link this to the text?"
and,
talking about motivation, there is no motivation at all!
coz its, like i said,
just a rushed note to inform the husband
about what the wife left behind in the house.
who needs motivation for a note like that?
talk about nonsense.
and,
if you want me to write such a poem,
then i tell you, ive already written one.
this whole block of text is a better poem than
the two ive just read.
coz first, ive got contents, and,
second, i got very good motivation -
frustration at what we're forced to do.
i mean, what the hEcK, ms chan?!
