Analysis and comments on A Sort Of A Song by William Carlos Williams

Comment 7 of 7, added on June 4th, 2008 at 8:48 AM.

I think the poet is advising the other poets to wait till the aspirations
to write a piece of poem comes to them and make the outcome sth great and
fascinating.

I think this poem is about writing.ıt ıs a sort of a song about
wrıtıng.the snake is a book at the begınnıng of the
poem.the ınk goes on the paper lıke a snkae slowşy goes on
the gorund. slowly and snakelıke motıon ıs attrıbuted
to wrıtıng

The Poem is about the power of slow moving things. The flower, and the
snake waiting to strike. The lantern illuminates the world

a great image that rock is solid but the animated are much powerful as they
split the rock sooner or later.
is that a idea for the breakthrough of everything concerned?

I feel the poet is showing the power of poetry versus
solid life.

The poem talks about life and opportunities in life. Someone should not be
afraid of trying something new and just enjoy everything.

Let the song strike you, is what he is saying. Take my word for it, (or
not)
