I believe that everyday incidents can be poetic, if expressed with the right words. If someone would take a step back and watch others interact with one another, stare off into space, or just are by themselves, there is a beauty to a human being that sometimes words may not be able to express. Poetry isn’t always about love; it can be about anger, wonder and many other emotions that may play out on people’s faces. People yelling at each other or wrestling can be a work of art, its just the right person has to be able to see it that way and be able to express it with words that make it more beautiful that grunts and cursing. Being able to make something beautiful while others see it as normal behavior is a gift in itself that a poet has mastered. Everyday incidents can be looked at as poetry through the right eyes and if written down that perception is being shared. An example would be sports, such as basketball, when our coach makes us do suicides all you can hears is the squeak of shoes, hard breathing, and grunts of exhaustion. That all combined could be poetic; it gets in touch with the senses and has a clear image. Another example is when softball players warm up, you hear the thwack of the ball hitting the glove, the ball whizzing through the air, and see all the players move to the path of the ball. These are things that happen everyday and can be seen as poetic.
