REWARD & TRAGEDY by V. K.┃Theme: Tragedy┃Précis: Response to tragedy, torment and trial, perseverance, evaluation of consequence, result. ▪︎ A response to FFPC Prompt 5: If objects had a voice, what would they say?┃Hosted by By Me Poetry and Kaarvan Crafts Foundation. ▪︎ Description: I have taken two objects, the magma/lava and diamond, and put them in a compare and contrast fashion. Both undergo great suffering, subjected to incredibly high 'pressures'. The poem describes their responses to tragedy, and how they react to this torment, and what they become as a result. It emphasises that no one response is right or wrong, just that it simply is as nature intended. How you evaluate your circumstances (perspective) is uniquely you, what you can stand is determined only by you, and thus also, how you act is entirely up to you. While the lava or magma loathes its circumstances, blaming even the skies and clouds for its reaction, the diamond endures in an aloof resilience. The magma resents how it is viewed, as this monster, this "calamity", pleading, appealing to the reader's sympathy, trying to justify the consequence, while the diamond seems to be amused by people's fascination, almost unaffected, a certain nobility in its composure. Seemingly, both are bitter and 'hardened' by the experience, the difference being that one reacts, and the other acts. • ☆ 📸: Pinterest • #ffpcbyme #kaarvancraftsfoundation . #cinderconecrucible #rewardandtragedy #poetry . #herheartpoetry #bymepoetry #silverleafpoetry #heartofpoets #apoeticview #societyofpoetry #poeticreveries_ #bleedingsoulpoetry #poem #poemoftheday #poetsofinstagram #poetryofig #poetrycommunity #poets #poetryisnotdead #poetryporn #creativewriting #writersnetwork #poetrysociety #poemoftheday #writersnetwork #train_river_publishing #omypoetry #streetwritersofficial #globalagepoetry #evepoetrygroup #inclusivepoetry . @a.b.baird_publishing (at Tragedy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCXROnkjra8/?igshid=1h921y7ofi4mo
