The Art of Poetry – The Wonder and Joy of Writing Tanka – Exploring Feelings – Reflection – Insights and revelations – Today Unconfined – A Poem by Goff James – Quotation


Poetry … is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognises as ones own.

Salvatore Quasimodo

The image depicts a lone cloaked figure standing on the jagged summit of a mountain, reaching one hand out toward a radiant sun partially obscured by swirling, vibrant orange and purple clouds. The surrounding landscape features sharp mountain ridges fading into mist and shadow, creating depth and a sense of vastness. Rays of sunlight stream outward from the sun, illuminating the figure's silhouette dramatically and emphasising a mood of triumph, quest and mystical connection.

Today unconfined
Spreading out ones broken wings
Reaching for the sun
Learning from yesterday’s flaws
Making tomorrow better

The poem captures a moment of quiet beauty and emotional depth.

The colour purple often symbolizes love, creativity, and passion, which sets the emotional tone of the poem.

This personification highlights the organic nature of poetry and creativity, implying that inspiration and feelings deepen with patience.

The imagery of wings suggests freedom and the potential for growth in love, indicating that love is both delicate and powerful.

The three lines flow smoothly, allowing each idea to build upon the last, creating a harmonious reflection on the beauty of love and nature.
