Today’s MUSING MONDAYS question: What truths do you remember learning in fiction?
Since I read fiction for fun, recreation, and entertainment, and have been reading for many years, it is difficult to pinpoint a few truths I've learned from fiction.
The truth of the matter is, I guess I could say I've learned to be more expressive in my thoughts and opinions, and I'm sure I learned that from reading, and especially in reading poetry.
Poetry makes me think a bit deeper then just answering a question. When I try to compose a poem, I think some of my true thoughts and feelings shine through, kind of a little "shadow of my mind." Even though I am new at the poetry game, I am finding it fun to try and compose a poem that makes sense, and maybe someone else will enjoy.
How about you, What truths do you remember learning in fiction?
I hate to admit it...but I really do not enjoy poetry. I always think that I should...but don't.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy poetry...don't know if I actually learn anything from them, but I like them. Here is my answer for Musing for Monday.
ReplyDeleteFiction is full of "truths". I think it's often easier to reveal truth in fiction.
ReplyDeleteI hasn't thought about answering this question with regards to poetry but what you said is very true! Feel free to check out my answer here.
