Modern poetry :
What is imagination? Why we are imagining something? What is the purpose behind it? What image in your mind? When you read something like you are going to read the novel or the poem. So when you read which types of images come in your mind? First, read and try to imagine something. If it is happening with you then you can write your creative ideas that are your ideas not given by authors or poets. As T.S Eliot says in his essay "Tradition and Individual Talent" that writer or author is not important but your view about that work or your understanding about the work is important. When you read the work, forget the author and first try to understand what you see in the work, What is your understanding? T.S Eliot gives the theory of "Depersonalization".
" Appreciate the poetry rather than the poet or author".
So when you read some kind of pictures come in your mind, some metaphors come in your mind. Your imagination maybe ugly also, it does not always happen that only a beautiful image comes in your mind.
There are many poets who observe the things and write.
1. " Darkness" by Joseph Campbell :
I stop to watch a star shine in the boghole
A star no longer, but a silver ribbon of light.
I look at it, and pass on.
Joseph Campbell was an Irish poet who wrote in both English and Gaelic. Campbell wrote a small number of short poems in free verse. So this poem has only four lines. Title of the poem is very interesting one. We have to ask question that why poet use the word 'Darkness' why not 'Lightness'. May be he wants to saw you the reality of the world. We think that our nation is bright nation and there is only happiness but its not true. As we know that in light, you can see the things in a clear way but you can not see the things in Darkness because there is no light. So in the poem, may poets wants to say that there is some hope that everything gone be ok. We all are finding something. So may be darkness is connected with death and not a good sing.
2. "Image" by Edward Storer :
Forsaken lovers,
Burning to a chaste white moon,
Upon strange pyres of loneliness and drought.
This poem has only three lines but with deep meaning. We think that if the poem has only three lines than we don't need to go deep but one line has various interpretation. We can not say that short poem has no meaning. When we read the title of the poem 'Image', we think that may be poet is talking about the image of person or the image of his nation. As we all are believe that if you have good image than people will give you more respect or your image in society proves that you arr good human being. In the poem, may poet is taking about love and loneliness.
3. Ezra Pound's ‘In a Station of the Metro‘ :
Ezra Pound is one of the best modernist poet and working in Britain.
"THE apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough."
This poem has only two lines. The poem was first published in 1913. Pond talks about watching faces appear in a metro station. Maybe poet is waiting for someone or maybe poet wants to go. Maybe the poet is talking about Paris or crowd of the Paris. When we read the poem, we have many ways to interpret this.
4. T. S. Eliot, ‘Morning at the Window‘ :
'Morning at the Window' is an imagist poem written by T. S. Eliot. Maybe this poem is talks about lines between poor and richer. So the poet is at the Window and observe the things. Maybe speaker wants to say that we believe that there are no lines between poor and richer but its not true because when you observe at that time you may get his point. The poor people are rattling breakfast plates early in the morning. It is an necessary thing for poor people to go to work early and work till late. So when you read, you can interpret this poem in a many ways.
