Poema

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Um bom poema é aquele que faz a gente se entregar sem nada exigir.

Se há esforço para o entendê-lo,

É sinal de que a sua forma conflitante

Não o permite ser compreendio.

O conflito é uma oposição entre os elementos de sua criação e aquilo que possibilita o essencial – o despertar do leitor.

Se é um texto que exige mais atenção,

É preciso então que o leitor

Mergulhe na alma de quem o escreveu.

Um bom poema é como um grande teatro:

– exige um bom cenário, luz, música, gestos e movimentos.

E a coisa mais importante para os olhos da plateia: Clareza. Dentre todas as sombras, o personagem principal deve fazer a plateia suspirar!

Longe, lá no fundo,

O eco, gritos e aplausos devem sair da consciência da penumbra…deslumbrada.

Compreendeu?

A clareza é a maior evolução de um poema.

A mensagem sempre precisa ser- clara!

Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

Silent Spring began with a “fable for tomorrow” – a true story using a composite of examples drawn from many real communities where the use of DDT had caused damage to wildlife, birds, bees, agricultural animals, domestic pets, and even humans. Carson used it as an introduction to a very scientifically complicated and already controversial subject. This “fable” made an indelible impression on readers and was used by critics to charge that Carson was a fiction writer and not a scientist.

Serialized in three parts in The New Yorker, where President John F. Kennedy read it in the summer of 1962, Silent Spring was published in August and became an instant best-seller and the most talked about book in decades. Utilizing her many sources in federal science and in private research, Carson spent over six years documenting her analysis that humans were misusing powerful, persistent, chemical pesticides before knowing the full extent of their potential harm to the whole biota.

Carson’s passionate concern in Silent Spring is with the future of the planet and all life on Earth. She calls for humans to act responsibly, carefully, and as stewards of the living earth.

people are no different to trees

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

People are no different to trees, even in the wild they are pruned by nature, via the gale, the wind and the rain, the occasional hailstorm. Human Beings need nourishment in all forms, for our body it varies from culture to culture, from family to family. Feeding the human spirit is no different, we dance, we sing, we read poetry, stories.

Through all these sessions of nourishment is the shared intangible connection of the human heart. We forget how poisonous our heart has become if we leave it unchecked. We become the poison.

I am the poison first before I point my finger at anyone else. My father named me after a tropical forest tree. As I age I have embraced my name sake, as the rings on my trunk are added, I’m thicker, stronger. But if I ignore the rot in my heart, to the very…

Equality

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

Sáng nay đọc thoáng qua những tin tức trên báo của anh Mark, làm tôi nhớ lại những stt tôi đã viết xuống trong những cơn thịnh nộ. Tôi thích ghi lại những gì hiện hữu trong đầu tôi trong những khoảnh khắc cảm xúc như vậy. Ý cuối cùng, không được rõ ràng như mong muốn của tôi.

Đòi hỏi của tôi chính không phải là về sự bảo vệ nữ quyền. Chưa đủ. Tôi muốn bảo vệ những người với những vị trí yếu hơn mình. Những người này thường là đàn bà. Chưa tính đến những người lớn tuổi, con nít. Tôi luôn luôn sẽ bảo vệ gia đình tôi, trong đó có chồng tôi.

Tôi đòi hỏi sự công bằng trước hết là ở gia đình tôi. Muốn đạt được sự công bằng, thứ nhất là phải chấp nhận sự khác biệt giữa…
