"When I have fears that I may cease to be" by John Keats

There are many feelings that we as human beings are allowed to feel. I believe most people avoid suffering which it may sound natural, but How are you going to enjoy happiness if you have never been sad??

This poem made me reflect about the power of human beings. There are some people that can take whatever comes to their life while others make a storm in a tea cup. We are all different; we try to live our lives in the best way we can, but why do we avoid sufffering? Is it natural? Is it cultural?

The author stated that he feels fear of losing what he is and he has. He tries to express his feelings through these lines. I wonder what do I fear the most?

This poem keeps me wonder about the importance of living your life day after day instead of waiting for that perfect moment that may be never come.

Kubla Khan by Samuel Coleridge

“Poetry is an art…of representing, in words, external nature and human thoughts and affections, both relatively to human affections, by the production of as much immediate pleasure in parts, as is compatible with the largest sum of pleasure in the whole”.

Poetry is more than a text. It is a way of representing your feeling through words. It’s a way of showing other worlds to people who don’t see beyond their nose. But, who is the one in charged of telling these stories? Where are places in which these stories and feelings occurred?
Samuel Coleridge is one of those men who were allowed to tell his own stories, a man who found into Poetry a way of expressing his own self to the rest of the world. The one who could take a pen a write about those other places nobody had seen until he found them.
To me Poetry is a complex art. It wants to express the author’s feeling at the moment of writing but sometimes, it does not find a feeling in the audience’s hearts. This is the reason why I believe there is a book for everybody, there must be a poem for every feeling.

"The little black boy" W. Blake

To distinguish colors we need to be able to see. Most people are allowed to see biologically, although not everybody has the skill to see through things. This is the reason why I believe William Blake had the gift to put into words those elements he could perceive in human beings. He incorporates nature as the basis of every human being, for instance, showing a relationship between a mother and her son. At the same time, he describes some important elements that are involved when talking about the time: the present where the story is being told and the past where the story took place. Finally, the author ends his work with the development of some ideas that are tangible as a hug or a kiss and intangible, represented by the love the both characters feel for each other. How can love be represented?? In this case, by a mother taking care of her son and the baby being as calm as the environment allow him/her to be. Can you see through this picture what I just tell you in my own words?
