A bonsai shaped poem by Aimee Nezhukumatathil's book "Miracle Fruit" : BonsaiBonsai by Edith TiempoBonsai By Edith Time Everything I love, I will bend once. And once again and keep in a box or an opening in a hollow pole or in my shoe everything I love? Why, yes, but for the moment and for all time, both. Something that bends and stays easy, Son note, or Dad's tie, A broken photo of a young queen A blue Indian manton, even a cash account. It is a complete sublimation, A feat, control of this heartMoment at the moment To reduce love For the size of a padded hand. Even the seams are broken pieces From God's own bright teeth, All life and love are realThe things you can run and the breathless hand on For the child of the disease Edith Time's poem "Bonsai" is basically a poem that speaks of love. At first, it will be difficult to understand the poem as it is, but as this poem is read more one would understand what this poem or what the poet is trying to convey to his readers. This poem talks about how one might have that ability to capture such a big thought and compact them to something small so that one person could be handed over to another. This poem is a love of a mother and this love is happening or being delivered to her daughter. One of the literary images shown here in the poem was the verse, everything I love? Why, yes, but for the moment... And forever, both. This estrofa is an example of an oxymoron. An oxymoron is defined in the dictionary as a discourse figure in which seemingly contradictory terms appear together. In this part, the poet is telling his readers that love can only be for a moment or time because hatred could come that could destroy love and at the same time, love can also be eternal or eternal. Another literary image shown here in the poem was the size of the hand taken. This part of the poem is telling its readers that love is something that could be given and received. This shows how the author thinks that love is something we ask for and also what we give. That being said, this verse also shows that love can also be reduced in something small or in other words, a size of the hand that could be given to all. One might wonder or wonder why the author used "Bonsai" as his title when a bonsai is defined as an ornamental tree or shrub cultivated in a pot and artificially prevented from reaching its normal size in the dictionary. The poem was titled "Bonsai" because one loves just like something that could remain like a bonsai. This poem, Bonsai, is about how love is simplified and reduced so that one can give it to others. Since this love is now compacted or reduced to something small that can be given, it is much like a bonsai that is a simplified version of a huge and huge tree that could be given and delivered to others. Therefore, this love is happening to generations. Share this: So: Respond Fill in your data below or click on an icon to log in: You are commenting using your WordPress.com account.
