It really gives me a reality check in a way. The last stanza in this poem really stands out to me because it's something that I can totally relate to. It sort of says even though she doesn't understand what she likes, she clings to it. This is a really good way of describing certain things in life and I really like the way she worded it.  I don't really have that many questions about this poem. ]]> 2020-05-18 18:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580680333 ibiehler https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580681173 "Dreams aren't crazy-
it's the real world that's insane,"

This poem as a whole stood out to me, but this line was one I especially like. Although dreams are so mystical and have this sense of fantasy often-times, I like how Szymborska states that the real world is insane. Although dreams are unreal, it does not take away from the fact that the real world can almost be unreal, which I have not really thought about. She also touches on the fact that dreams are somewhat lighthearted in comparison to a very serious reality, and the sense that reality is almost merciless, which really makes me think. This is especially prevalent in the lines:
"The real world lays the corpse 
in front of us.
The real world doesn't blink an eye."]]> 2020-05-18 18:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580681173 aabood1_1 https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580681292 I love this poem so much. We misuse and overuse the phrase "the real world" (especially in the realm of education), but Szymborska speaks to something so much more important here. The line that made me pause was "Dreams aren't crazy-- it's the real world that's insane." ]]> 2020-05-18 18:15:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580681292 emoog1 https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580681479 This poem stood out to me from the second I saw it. For starters, it is extremely short, with only 6 lines. This immeatidelty created a stark contrast with other poems, and made it stand out. When actually ooking at the content, the great use of syntax further makes the poem stand out. My favorite words in the poem are "nonbeing," syllable," and "pronounce." The reptivitive nature of the poem is also really cool. Overall, 
this was my favorite poem because it is the most different, unique and impact (especially considering how short it is.) - Eli KM]]> 2020-05-18 18:15:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580681479 https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580682388 I really enjoyed this poem because of the messaging behind it. I thought that it was a good point, and glass-half-full type of thinking which can be really helpful. 
I appreciated every stanza. 
It has a good meaning and is very applicable to what we all are experiencing now. Even though so many things have ended, and so many things have stopped, so many things are starting. Maybe our old "normal" will no longer be the case, but that means that we have a new normal. ]]> 2020-05-18 18:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580682388 https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580682925 This poem really stood out to me because I had to take a break/moment afterwards and reflect. The way Szymborska described dark and heartbreaking was very casual. I enjoyed how she didn't sugar coat anything, every word was honest and truthful. While I was reading I also enjoyed the poem because of the message behind it. I think it is something we don't talk about enough. ]]> 2020-05-18 18:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580682925 https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580684901 The line "Get to know other worlds if only for comparison", from the third stanza really intrigued me. As in our current circumastance it almost seems like the world is entirly different. No one has experienced anything like this before so everyone is taking a step into the unkown, and when or if things return to normal we will forsure have something to compare our normal lives to.]]> 2020-05-18 18:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580684901 cbruce221 https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580684934 CB
I really thought that this poem stood out because of its message. It made me think a lot differently during quarantine  and showed me a new way to think about life and have a better idea of how to be happier. Each stanza was very hard hitting if that makes sense. ]]> 2020-05-18 18:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580684934 https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580685409 This poem was really powerful to me because it made me think in ways that is outside of my comfort zone and in ways in which i don't usually encounter]]> 2020-05-18 18:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580685409 gmesires https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580686306 I found this poem to be really interesting. Even though it was a relatively short poem, I thought it was one of the most thoughtful and thought-provoking poems I've read in the book. This poem made me think about the meaning of the words vs the actual word itself. The line "the first syllable already belongs to the past," when Szymborska was referring to the word "future" was really powerful for me to ponder and think further about.]]> 2020-05-18 18:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580686306 dlawless5_1 https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580688848 2020-05-18 18:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lkulkarni/fernnx8f5c3b89bz/wish/580688848
