RE: SteemitCentral Lyrics Challenge – Day 16 / 60 – “I Married a Monster from Outer Space” by John Cooper Clarke
Greetings dear @majes.tytyty.
I think that the way to symbolize what surrounds us and the vision of life that can have a child, can be very close to a poetic way of expression.
We can virtualize this by quoting JCClarke, when he said:
"I used to think trees were dirty, because when I was a kid in Salford you would climb them and come off filthy, it was like you would have been up a chimney ..."
Maybe for him there was not much effort in writing those words. But the symbolism that they involve is very profound.
Yours: Juan.
Yes, I remember that comment about climbing the grimy, soot-covered trees in his hometown.
As for poetry, it helps if one has the clear vision and innocent perspective of a child. Then, all it takes is a bit of work. As another writer once said, "I put the pen to paper and push a bit."
