let you yourself be clear of what you talk. read through your own comments and you may find answwers for any doubts or questions you got. further remember in your mind that i never asked you what author meant, but what it meant to you.
i have no doubts here bro im perfectly positively clear about where i stand. and fortunately when i read my own comments they dont confuse me if they do that to you, i suggest you cease reading them.
you tell you read through the comments if it not sure of the real meaning. that means you are insearch of the meaning behind it. then you would come across many ideas/opinions of different people, which could be right or wrong, but sill you have to decide it how far they match with the poem. so saying what one understood wont make any harm for you, thus it will keep you in check. you yourself agree with this in the below comment.
yeah and for this i have to repeat my last reply about actual meanings and readers' thoughts. so simply go and read it again. and pls keep in mind that im talking for myself my opinion about poetry and extents i would reach to understand them if they are not applicable to you then sorry just walk away.
first a poem is not a puzzle or quiz. it is an art. puzzle or quiz has only one answer for it. but a poem could adress one or more things in the same verse and wordings. and i asked what it meant to you, not for the writter of it. so yours could be right, could be wrong. hence no harm for the readers like you mentioned earlier. well you prove it again below.
first im not you, a well abstract poem is an interesting puzzle to me i love deciphering them. i write abstract poems and i expect others to look upon them as somewhat puzzles. so when i read i do the same.
for the millionth time, i got the meaning from the poet before i have my own idea. so i simply can't think of it in another way. hence no personal opinions
if i remember correctly i said unless poet assures you right ..so finally when you've come up with your own interpretation you can have the poet confirm it. if, of course poet does give away the meaning ..cos i do know some poets personally who don't do that.
well you had all the answers to you in your own coments.
weird i didn't even have a question from the start lol i was just trying to explain you .
what you fail to realize my good friend is that you and i dont bear same points of view..im simply acting from my own, if what you receive from your end is not correct according to yours, well that does not mean im wrong nor are you. but i wont do something that i dont want somebody else to do too.
