Joshua West's Sublime
I had so much fun with this exercise in class and I really enjoyed reading what Joshua wrote. I have no idea what sublime means, but I like the way it rolls off the tongue. It is a unique word and I think that is the point of this exercise. To discover that really perfect line and build from there. My favorite line was "Blind is what is not sublime, blind is an unseeing third eye." It makes me wonder what is the purpose in having a third eye if it cannot see? What is sublime? Webster's Dictionary defines sublime as "to elevate in honor" So do we blindly honor or 'idols'? This poem just made me think and I really enjoyed analyzing it and trying to figure out what it meant even though there may not be any purposeful meaning in it.
