Defamiliarization Mind
I never understood this condition
that continued to invade my writing
skills at first I would write then go
back to put the punctuation in this
made my poems end abruptly when
I needed my readers to continue my
story hadn't ended until that punctuation
stalled my readers from finishing my poem
I sat up searching for why I composed this
way soon my style of writing was compared
to e.e cummings he too often left out the
punctuation I read further there was Ulysses
James Joyce Cormac Mc Carthy I began
to realize I was different but I wasn't alone
great scholars and Nobel prize winners
also had my condition why there was
a word for this style of writing a word
for why I was comfortable leaving out
the punctuation defamiliarisation in fact
I believe this allows my readers to know
right away this is my original work I wouldn't
change a thing in further research I found
a few more poets just like me in Russia
why I Certainly would call this a poem
perhaps a commentary of sorts a very
creative way to use this new word I'm
quite fond of defamiliarisation absolutely
driven creative culture of an awesome read
