Peer Response 1 Week 2

I completely agree with you Murph and I would like to break the rule with you.  I believe that there are times when an abstraction is warranted or perhaps even needed in a piece.  When I can get away with using an abstraction I usually attempt to describe what it means in term of the piece.  How does it feel, what does it look like, what does it invoke etc.  Abstract art, in most cases, cannot be readily interpreted.  But that doesn't conceal its beauty.  We use abstract language everyday to describe some of the most important aspects of our lives.  So why wouldn’t we include it in some of our poetry?
