INTRO TO POETRY

Poem "Out Beyond Ideas" by Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi

1. The title of this poem is significant because the poem is about leaving all of our ideas behind so that we may see everyone as equals. Our ideas of right and wrong is the reason that their are problems in the world and by leaving them behind we realize that we are actually all equals.
2. I think that the tone of this poem is inspiring and hopeful because the author is hoping to inspire people to leave their ideas behind so that we may not have as many problems in the world.
3. As I read this poem I really began to think about how many problems there are in the world. I think the author is right in that if we just leave our ideas and differences aside then many of the worlds problems that are very severe could possibly be solved or maybe they would never have happened in the first place.
4. In this poem there seems to be a shift from talking about a field that sounds amazing to talking about a world that is full of problems. This shift from a positive feeling to a negative feeling confirms the overall theme of the poem.
5. The theme of this poem is that the world is filled with problems and many of them could possibly be solved if we leave our ideas and our differences aside.
