ok i am replying to my own message but nevermind, the other day i heard that only people who talk to themselves are sane so there.
well it has been a long time since the alfian sa'at message, so far anybody checking out good poets? wanna intro before we all go into university and slog like xiao? u know it's kind of hard to get back into the studying act after 6 months, so people like me trying to squeeze in last minute reading and franctically trying to see if you still can understand shakepeare, the pythagoras theorem, classical vs keynesian economics, the french revolution, the formation of granitic landforms in different climates (whatever u want to get into ur head before uni starts anyway), good luck and try hard cos its hard. darn.
well, in case anybody reads this, i picked up something from the library the other day with my needed dosage of agatha christie.
it's a collection of poems by Seamus Heaney titled 'Death of a Naturalist'. if you guys still remember, we did this piece called 'Digging' in mr whitby's class before, yah so that piece is the first poem in this collection. it's a nice (duh word) collection, i haven't gotten through it yet, halfway there, but it's got a couple of poems about the process of writing (e.g 'Digging' is one of them) and erm well, figuratively the thinking process during/before writing (or so that's what i think lah). apparently one of his earlier influences was mr larkin and the other was mr hughes. erm it's got many pieces on his past some on experiences during his childhood. there was one pretty interesting one where it was talking about how he used to cringe when this guy he knew drowned kittens and other farm pests, but it ends in an adulty modern reaction that is indifference cos he did realise that it's reality you know, u can't expect to let rats run around freely on the farm right? i don't understand how kittens can be considered farm pests? there are pieces on animals and nature, like 'trout' ( i thought of mr hughes' 'pike' when i saw the title) and 'turkeys observed' ( saw the title and thought of 'Hawk roosting' by mr hughes), but i think the tone is less violent, less intense than mr hughes' 2 pieces.
ANYWAY...if anyone feels bored enough to write back to mana here, pls do, cos i will be bored enough to reply (hahaha!), if not so, then may i end on this note:"it has been nice talking to you manna!"
