Before Adam was – Poem and Commentary 4
With full freedom has the piece been developed. The scholarly materials studied so
far have a neutral view of the necessity to usage of particular styles. The overriding guideline
is communication to the audience. The restrictions of form and style could limit the
expression of thought. Since the piece is simply meant to paint what music is, its origin, its
creators, and not for performances, I choose to employ the poet’s freedom. “But it is more
relevant here to make understood that I do not feel the usual sense of subject in poetry to be
of much use. My generation has a particular qualification to make of this factor because it
came of age at a time when a man's writing was either admitted or denied in point of its
agreement with the then fashionable concerns of 'poetic' comment” (Creeley, 1972, 487). To

the piece uses first person voice to articular the picture at hand.
It was relatively taxing to come with the piece. You behold the beauty of something
and you get the challenge of putting it down. Folliott S. Pierpoint’s For the beauty of the
earth with the works of Eleanor Farjeon, Morning has broken are perfect examples of
encounters with nature. In their walks through the woods and mountain, they take the notes of
the nature patterns (Templeton, 2008). Theirs has a lot of rhyming and consistent meter all
through their pieces. Trying to edit, redraft and fix the rhymes into the poem could take away
the clarity of expression I intended. Reading from similar works, the mind is shaped to be as
original and authentic as possible, narrating the thoughts as simple as possible for the
message to reach the audience vividly. “Precision in this context, means, accuracy of
transcription: the poet conveys more than his nonpoetic counterpart, the meanings inherent in
a particular set of experiences” (Perloff, 1991, 32). To the many questions asked in life, and
there seems to be no particular answer, the genesis of all things answers them.
Imagery is transcribed from nature. I intended to use simple imagery to illustrate the
major subjects I had. The structure of syllables will not be as much a component to consider
