- Go to Bend this man
Re: nu guy
The main idea in most of my poems is for Man to strive to be a better person. For mankind to fight against his weaknesses and to acknowledge that he is not God but a flawed creature in need of help.
I am still learning poetry. My work reflects some of the influences I've had over the years reading poetry. Some of the language I use is as a result of this. For example, when I wrote in this poem about "Bend this man against the winter in his bones", I am looking at mankind in his old age. Some people are usually slumped over (bent). The winter in their bones is old age. So when I wrote "Bend this man against the winter in his bones", I referring to a fight against the affects of aging. Man himself can not make the change but God has to.
In other peoms when I refer to man moving to dust or man moving to history, I am referring to death. In some of my work there is an implied reference to God.
I hope this helps. If not, feel free to reply. As stated earlier I am still learning so any comments, questions, etc. can only help to make me better.
Thanks. Take care.
