Day is Night is the Dream

Benjamin W.

  • This poem was initially written as a response to another poem namely "Charlottesville Nocturne" by Charles Wright as part of a school assignment. However, after submitting the initial draft, I chose to continue working on it outside of class. This poem is effectively part of a conversation I have continuously had with myself in my head for the past 3 years: A conversation concerning a few questions. to name a few; what determines the definition of success?

    should one adopt said definition by others even if the definition seems wrong to the person?

    and lastly, why should another's definition of success matter in one's own life?

  • For me creativity isn't easily defined. It means the ability to synthesize ones experiences and investigate them in various forms; taking a problem presented and thinking about the solution's implications beyond the problem itself. It also means taking in what is known and expanding beyond.
