    Definition of Poetry The poems that I’ve read from this chapter have left me confused and delirious. Poems can take you on an emotional‚ physical‚ and mental roller coaster. The poet can make you feel a certain way after reading their work. I believe that the best definition of poetry is Emily Dickinson’s definition. She said that she knew she was reading poetry if it "makes her whole body so cold no fire can warm it"‚ or if she "physically feels as if the top of her head were taken off". Basically

    Indeed‚ there is an earlier example of Old Javanese literature showing a reference to the shadow play; the opus magnum of kakawin literature‚ the Old Javanese Ramayana‚ supposed to be composed in the middle of the 9th century‚ mentions in canto 24.112 a widu mawayang‚ i.e. a performer who is playing wayang. Following recent findings by A. Acri‚ this canto stands in a complex religious context on a Saiva background. A widu is "a figure standing between a performer and an ascetic" (Acri‚ 2011:55).

By the second stanza‚ with the line‚ “when I look
