Reflection

1.Poems for me are about things you can relate on to. Poems are often written as a reflection of life, from the point of view of either the writer of the poem, or of the character that the writer is trying to portray. This is where someone is being sensible. The main thing about poems are that, they are something someone writes to express, such are the like of songs and other compositions. Filipino writers are more of that, they involve themselves into it to create something from it, such that when readers read it, they can feel the emotions that is being imaged-out from it. From the poem “The Rural Maid” the poet expresses the deep love of the person who fell in love with a maid, who couldn’t by chance be his/her. To anyone who had ever been in this situation they call “Forbidden love” could deeply remorse over the feeling. Even with others who have not felt this way will come to feel the emotions portrayed by the poet. This reason why poems are much more than words than can give meaning to anyone.Poets are living a life for things they write and their emotions are more than felt but also respected, for without it what are words when not spoken, felt or acted on? This is how the poem is imaged to every reader.

2.Love is something that warms the heart that affects your whole body and soul. Something that delights in your life that you makes you happy. For without love nothing good comes out from it. Work without love is a lifeless work. Everyone loves, be it to your family, friends, pets or special someone. So if the heart cannot love it is a heart of stone, prone to anger, stress and numbness. It will not shine itonly will give grief. Someone who doesn’t love cannot be happy. It must be a terrible feeling when you cannot love because love is a good feeling, it’s a joyous feeling, even. When I think of love, the song from my childhood reverberates over in my head the song goes, “Love is something when you give it away… it will come right back to you.” It is true, in fact it is not just being able to love that makes you happy it’s the moment when you know you’ve been giving back the same thing too, and that is to be loved in return in all aspect of love.
A meaningful life is a feeling of satisfaction that is being produced by the feeling of happiness acted upon by love. The poem general speaks off that if you cannot love, there is nothing more to life worth to live. Someone who loves shows the persona aura out of them. So if the heart cannot love, then what is life if it meaningless? For only the heart can make the most of what you do and can do.

3. There are those who can recover easy from a bad past, and there are those that cannot. It’s hard to carry something that reminds you how terrible things were and most likely anyone who has that same feeling tends to move on and with everything that comes with it should be left behind. That is the theme of the poem.
Certainly, anyone who could have encountered from a bad past may not like to bring it back over and over again. It’s like growing up, a doll is a mere representation of your childhood and when you grow up, it’s not like you would want yourself seen with it because you have most likely have grown matured and seeing a doll with you makes you look like a child still. As time goes by, you change. And everything that comes with it constantly withers out to another set. And that is not new to anyone.
The poem teaches us that, even if it’s hard to accept that things that needs to change in a new kind of perspective even if it means to leave something behind that means a lot to you only so that you can live a new life, we have to let go. Because life doesn’t to live until you begin to realize that there is more to life than just that, and when you get into a bad situation, you can always move on from it by simply going out from it.
There are certain sacrifices in life that needs to be done to continue on living, that is how unfair life is, only so that you can live life in a balance. You cannot carry too many heavy burdens for the rest of your life. Reason why, optism is here to teach us that there is more to life than those crazy things that pulls you down.
