Critical Commentary (Week 10)

This week's commentary I decided to focus on the idea of poetry as an everyday language. Often times we overlook the fanciful "poetry" in everyday language because it tends to shy away from the grittiness we've come to expect by drafting in class. The "Girl i love you more than life itself, rather than the couple that argues about which movie to watch everyday." I wonder if we shy away from this because its obvious or if its just too available, or possibly a mix of both. Using that logic however, can we not say that the language that we're using in class has become the everyday due the fact that instead of using a high lexicon we rely on the everyday language mix in unexpected ways, almost a madgab game of sorts. Just a thought though.
