Wording Witman

This is just a simple imitation of Whitman's poetic style. It was done quickly and is another method for better understanding the style and technique of Whitman. Note: I said imitation this is a original work based off of a Whitman poem - IT IS NOT A WHITMAN Poem. A lot of what I took from this exercise was that it required a deeper understanding of the poet's style to truly understand meaning. Just taking a poem and replacing words does not mean that the same form is being followed nor does it mean that the same style or even type of poem will be emulated.

An Actor's View

Verbose, Dramatic all from young days
each curtain the audience a bit more demanding
as fighting or fetters this
Truth lost
