“The College Writer”: Chapter 1 Exercise

Exercise 3

Looking at this image I can see two images combined into one. First there is the word “poetry” written on what appears to be a book. Paying closer attention to this image I can see that the book is also a butterfly’s wings. The wings of the butterfly are moving as I can tell by the little lines above the pages of the book. You can also see the butterfly’s head, antennas, and even the body with a tail. I believe the meaning behind this image is to pass along the message of poetry. Poetry is free; it can make you feel like you are flying. With poetry there is no right or wrong. It is beautiful, just like a butterfly. I get a real artsy feeling from viewing this image. This image can appeal to a person’s creative side. Maybe someone who has never tried poetry, if they studied this image long enough, would get the feeling of freedom and try writing some.
