Concise writing is superior to inflated writing, especially on college application essays. Make each word count. 💪

Delving into Poetic Wisdom: A Review of "On the Art of Poetry" by Aristotle
Aristotle's "On the Art of Poetry," translated by Ingram Bywater, stands as a seminal work in literary criticism, offering profound insights into the nature and function of poetry that continue to resonate with readers and scholars alike. Written in the 4th century BCE, this treatise serves as a comprehensive examination of the principles and techniques that underlie the creation of poetry, providing valuable guidance for poets and readers alike.
At its core, "On the Art of Poetry" is a testament to Aristotle's keen intellect and analytical prowess. In this work, Aristotle explores the various elements that contribute to the effectiveness of poetry, including plot, character, diction, and spectacle. Through his systematic analysis, Aristotle seeks to uncover the universal principles that govern the art of poetry, shedding light on its essential nature and its role in human society.
One of the most compelling aspects of "On the Art of Poetry" is Aristotle's emphasis on the importance of mimesis, or imitation, in poetry. According to Aristotle, poetry is a form of imitation that seeks to represent the actions, emotions, and experiences of human life. Through the skillful use of language and imagery, poets are able to create a vivid and lifelike portrayal of the world, inviting readers to engage with their work on a profound emotional and intellectual level.
Moreover, "On the Art of Poetry" offers valuable insights into the principles of dramatic structure and the role of catharsis in tragedy. Aristotle argues that tragedy is a form of poetry that evokes feelings of pity and fear in the audience, leading to a purgation or cleansing of these emotions. Through the depiction of the fall of a tragic hero, tragedy allows audiences to confront their own mortality and the fragility of human existence, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of the human condition.
In addition to its exploration of tragedy, "On the Art of Poetry" also examines the principles of comedy and epic poetry, providing valuable guidance for poets working in these genres. Aristotle discusses the importance of unity of plot, character, and theme in epic poetry, as well as the role of humor and satire in comedy. Through his analysis, Aristotle highlights the diversity of poetic forms and the unique challenges and opportunities that each genre presents to the poet.
In conclusion, "On the Art of Poetry" by Aristotle is a timeless classic that continues to inspire and enlighten readers with its profound insights into the nature of poetry. Aristotle's systematic approach to literary criticism, coupled with his keen observations and analytical rigor, make this work an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the art of poetry. With its timeless wisdom and enduring relevance, "On the Art of Poetry" remains a cornerstone of literary theory and a testament to the enduring power of poetic expression.
Aristotle's "On the Art of Poetry," is available in Amazon in paperback 12.99$ and hardcover 18.99$ editions.

4.28 Contradiction Life
4.28 Contradiction Life
Poem by Emilia Sameyn
16/11/2023
(NEDERLANDS BENEDEN)
Warning: Slacking, Joblessness, Depression?
He has a Master's Degree, Yet no Work
Nothing must be Done, yet He has no Time
Awake during Day, yet can't Sleep at Night
He's a NonConformist, yet Doesn't Party
All Night and Day
He's Open-Minded, yet Never took Drgs. He wants Love, but not a Relation He's NonMonogamous, yet Never had Sx
He has Friends, yet feels Lonely
He goes Outside, but never meets People
He loves Nature but gets Lost in the City
There has Never been so much Food
Yet he never Eats
He wants to be Useful but Unable to Do It
Surviving has Never been this Easy
Yet he Struggles to Survive
He Wishes to Live yet Longs for Death
He Lives a Simple Life, yet He's so Complex
Neither Man nor Woman
He likes Kids, but Doesn't want Any
Loves his Family and Friends
But never visits Them
Never been so Connected,
Never been so Lonely
They Promised it would Stay there Forever
Only to take it Away
He says he is Normal, yet this Crazy World
Calls him Utterly Insane
Normal people Turn Out to be Weirdos
And Weirdo's Turn Out to be Squares
Life is so Little, Yet so Big
They promised it Would be Easy and Simple
But all is Hard and Complex
It's a Contradiction,
A Contradiction Life
---------------------------

4.28 Contradictie Leven
Gedicht van Emilia Sameyn
16/11/2023
Waarschuwing: Slacking, Werkloosheid, Depressie?
Hij heeft een MasterDiploma, maar Geen Werk
Er Moet niets Gedaan zijn, maar hij heeft Geen Tijd
Overdag Wakker, maar 's Nachts niet kunnen Slapen
Hij is een Non-Conformist, maar Feest niet
De hele Nacht en Dag
Hij is Ruimdenkend, maar heeft nooit Drgs gebruikt Hij wil Liefde, maar geen Relatie Hij is Niet Monogaam, maar heeft nooit Sks gehad
Hij heeft Vrienden, maar voelt zich Eenzaam
Hij gaat naar Buiten, maar ontmoet nooit Mensen
Hij houdt van de Natuur, maar verdwaalt in de Stad
Er is nog nooit zoveel Eten geweest
Toch Eet hij nooit
Hij wil Nuttig zijn, maar kan niets Doen
Overleven was nog Nooit zo Eenvoudig
Toch Worstelt hij te Leven
Hij wil Bestaan, maar Verlangt naar Dood
Hij leidt een Simpel Leven, maar toch is hij Complex
Noch Man noch Vrouw
Hij ziet graag Kinderen, maar Wil er Geen
Houdt van Familie en Vrienden
Maar Bezoekt ze Nooit
Nog nooit zo Verbonden,
Nog nooit zo Eenzaam
Ze beloofden dat Het daar voor Altijd zou blijven
Alleen maar om het Weg te halen
Hij zegt dat hij Normaal is, maar toch noemt deze Zotte Wereld
Hem Volkomen Krankzinnig
Normale mensen blijken Weirdos te zijn
En Weirdo's blijken Saai en Normaal te zijn
Het leven is zo Klein en toch zo Groot
Ze beloofden dat het Simpel en Eenvoudig zou zijn
Maar alles is Moeilijk en Complex
Het is Tegenstrijdig,
Een Tegenstrijdig Leven

Last night, I was recording some fic and realised what fresh hell it would be for a foreign English learner to deal with the spoken phrase "she would have pocketed it". The final four syllables are almost identical plosives, which move quickly from velar to alveolar; they require the speaker to know that at least two of the three vowels need to be neutralised into a schwa; as well as knowing to blur boundaries between words for flow, meaning that the -ed of ‘pocketed it’ becomes ‘pockete dit’.
All of which is doubly tricky if you're trying to do it with pace and clarity, as when performing.
I have similar sympathy for performers trying to pronounce all the necessary consonants of "asked" at speed: Aah-S!K!T!" (all three quick and unvoiced, so that vowel needs to die immediately, or you'll get aZked). Though having said that, I actually really enjoy the way one has to stop the airflow and push the sounds out with one’s mouth parts in a vacuum. We all have our little linguistic pleasures.

today in English is ridiculous..
*try to enunciate as clearly as possible:
I can't close the closet door because the clothes are too close.
*now relax and say it like you're talking to a friend...
~do the words in emphasis actually SOUND different?
Imaging trying to learn/ hear/ comprehend/ pronounce this as a language learner!
