On the Words of Poetry

Dylan Thomas is the most intriguing and differing poet I've ever read about. His poem, On the Words in Poetry, explains how he began to write poetry. The way he started was very interesting. He started off young. He had a love for words. Even before he could read the words himself. He just like the sound of them. He did not care what the words meant, what they stood for, or what they symbolized.  There were quite a few similies that was used in this poem. He was comparing the words to different sounds. To him, even though the words seemed lifeless, out of them came different emotions that make our lives dangerous, great, and bearable. He felt like he needed to get to know the words better.
