IV. Reflection in Literature

Through Literature I become creative in the sense i can now create my own poems and other composition. I also interpret the message of a poem and story. Just like the following poems that our instructor have discussed:

Ink

Guillermo Castillo

Pangasinan

I

Ink

Bottled in a glass prism

Meaningless in itself

Black and mute without a language

Silent but strongly-urged

To speak

2

Ink

Chance-impressed on white

Inarticulate unintelligible chaotic

Welcome on the bareness of white

But still foreign

Excommunicate

3

But ink

Pen-lifted pen-impressed

On blank white paper

Will-ordered

Interprets intensifies clarifies

Expresses

Life

Interpretation:

The poem "ink" describes a person who is imprison who doesn't have a freedom to defend himself because of judgement of others. When he given a chance to express himself there is still a foreign excommunicate. An ink is meaningful and useful if we know how to use it in a good way.
