Alright, so one of the upcoming assessment tasks is a reflection for literature, which entails choosing two poems studied in the class and doing a personal reflection on their themes and how they resonated with me. This can be done in essay or creative form. Naturally, I'm mixing the two.

The theme I'm going for is immortality through literature, being remembered for your works. Stuff like 'Kubla Khan' and 'Ulysses' (the Tennyson one). I'll be doing an analysis about this theme and interjecting this analysis with lines from modern-day poems and songs to back up the thesis that the idea is still relevant in today's society. I will close the argument with a work of my own - and that's the bit that I'm about to post for critique. It's... well, an obvious title.

The Pursuit of Art

Bear in mind that I'm referencing a lot of other literary works and themes, so ask if anything doesn't make sense.

About immortality through literature, which sounds like a very interesting theme, an idea: why not make reference to authors where this is so true that they only became recognized post mortem, such as Herman Melville? Anyways good luck, and the theme seems pretty interesting.

As for your own creation, I don't think criticism helps, because you know, art and it being so subjectif :)

But this verses:
"And now (and now)
I live again
Each word a voice that cannot be silenced
I sought (I sought)
A moment in time
But now I have time I can claim so much more" wow man. That **** is beautiful.

Btw from Ulysses: "For always roaming with a hungry heart
Much have I seen and known" - Someone should use this in a guide to xD

So... poem's fine?

I'll be working on the analytical part of it and should be putting that up for feedback sometime in the next couple of days.

Quoted:

Shakespearian sonnets to modernist writers like Woolf and Joyce.

Did someone call the master in literature and anything that means phylology? No Kappa.

Not sure if you're asignment is done already or if you still have time to work on it. But if you really want to combine the two, and add some wit to it, I can propose a couple things:

Make the thing rhyme. Yes, the stupidest advice ever. Of course not all modern poetry(or anything written in verses) rhymes at all, but hey, it's good exercice.
Make an acrostih (easily noticeable - or using a key for the reader) For example, one that would spell out the title of your work.
Do extra research. If you have/had any Theory of Literature classes, look up on some stuff. Should help greatly. If not, and you need some extra help with it, just ask. More than glad to help.

Alright, still on that analytical reflection, does anyone know songs written in the past ~30 years that deal with the aforementioned concept of literary immortality? I've got 'Dead Boy's Poem' by Nightwish as a reference, and need maybe 2 or 3 more.

I expect there's a lot of rap about it but I don't know anything about inferior genres like that.

Eh... not really. It's immortality attained through your artistic creations being passed on through history. Stuff like what I posted, and the other song I found was Nightwish's 'Dead Boy's Poem'.
