FAUX

Faux
I reach out at blurry images
Eyes moving on their own
The blurs are beautiful
I slur
I confess
My devices fail me, I feel
All powerful

 I walk in with familiars
Inhibited, worried, comfortable
Jaw hurting, muscles don’t lie
The eye cannot glitter yet

 The eye opens weary
I command my lethargy
The eye glitters no more
I remember cracking
Slipping through myself
Falling, failing, flailing
I am plated
Guilt toys with me
Cringes cement

 I toy with friends
Pedestal myself
Empathy is poured out
Blind of their humanity
Muscles don’t lie
Jaw is relaxed
Contempt is poured in
I pick them apart
I pick myself apart

 Jaw hurting, muscles don’t lie
I cleanse discontent
To lose little to have none
Inhibited, worried, comfortable

 Is better

AS ONE LISTENS TO THE RAIN

AS ONE LISTENS TO THE RAIN    I. THE POEM PUT TO SONG:  - Submitted by HARSHIT 4CME 1640106 & DARVIN RAJ P. 4PME 1640305 II. AN ANALYSIS OF THE POEM - P. SAMUEL WESLEY 4PME 1640312 The poem is written in the first person narrative and appears to address someone. While the poem itself is open to many interpretations, one can however analyse the literary structure, themes, language, and the literary devices used. This is precisely the goal of this Section. LITERARY DEVICES The poet has employed several visual imageries from Nature that very adequately appeal to the senses. With a tranquil tone throughout the poem, the poet creates an ambiance of peace wherein the readers can develop their own perspectives about the poem. The poet has also used Personification as in the line, “steam rises and walks away, night unfolds and looks at me.” Techniques like Repetition and a steady rhythm are also employed. This becomes most app...

Reflections on An Avenger by Anton Chekov and As One Listens to the Rain by Octavio Paz

An Avenger: ·           Morality and Justice            By Vemuri Sai Gayatri, 1640728, 4BCB In the eyes of the law, murder is the ultimate crime for which there is no justification. The protagonist, Sigaev, knows that he will be severely punished and sent to prison if he kills his wife and her lover. However, society’s concept of justice and morality is filled with ambiguity. If one party in the marriage contract violates its terms of eternal faithfulness and monogamy, the other is seen as entitled to seek vengeance, no matter how extreme a form it takes. In Sigaev's world, it is commonplace for a wife to cheat on her husband, a matter of course for a cuckold to commit murder or suicide. It is so mundane that the gunsmith discusses it conversationally, the way one would talk about the weather. He complains about the corruption of morals while making money off it. Sigaev himself goes about...

Review on " An Avenger"

In An Avenger, Anton Chekhov has set the theme of infidelity, trust, revenge, shame, and pride which was taken from his The Complete Short Stories collection. The story is narrated in the third person and from the beginning of the story, it becomes clear to the reader that Chekhov may be exploring the theme of infidelity.  Sigaev finds out that his wife has been unfaithful to him. He wants to take revenge on both his wife and the lover. Hence, He pays a visit to the gun shop. However, at times, he also considers killing himself after killing his wife and her lover because he may be looking for sympathy from others and show others that he is the one who is offended. His wife and her lover are the guilty parties and their romantic engagements have driven him to the point of madness i.e. killing himself, his wife and his lover. It would be insanity for Sigaev to kill himself because of his wife or her lover over the fact that his wife was being unfaithful. Something that beco...
