When Words Don’t Fit – A Multiple Meaning Words Poem
I have such a fit
When these words don’t fit!
Like when all through the spring
All the deer jump and spring,
And the lions feel they might
Want to show their strength and might

While I have eyes to see;
And having none, yet I will keep
A heart to weep for thee.

Knock knock, who's there? Narrator? Narrator who? Narrator who's gonna tell a
story from a point of view. Every story's written in a certain voice, When you're
writing, you need to make a choice. First, second or third person POV,
The first person is all about me, Or we, like: We climbed up a tree, And I closed my
eyes and felt the breeze. I might be unreliable if I don't tell the truth, Now let's
switch the point of view to you. In the second person, You're in a taxi, You're
wondering how you got there exactly. The third person is he or she, He walked
down the street, and he saw the queen, She was dressed hip like it wasn't a thing,
That's the third person, take it from him. Third person narration could be
objective, Omniscient or from a limited perspective. Can the narrator see in
everyone's thoughts, Narrating omnisciently like a boss?
Everybody wants to know my point of view, First person is me, second person is
you. Third person is he, third person is she, Everybody wants to know my POV.
Point of view is the angle of considering things.
In literature, point of view is the mode of narration that an
author employs to let the readers “hear” and “see” what takes
place in a story, poem, book, essay, etc.
Examples of point of view belong to one of these three major
kinds:
“Mr. Stewart is a principled man. He acts by the book and
never lets you deceive him easily.”
First person point of view involves the use of either of the two
pronouns “I” and “we”.
Example:
“I felt like I was drowned with shame and disgrace.”
Second person point of view employs the pronoun “you”.
“Sometimes you cannot clearly discern between anger and
frustration.”
This point of view is rarely used in fiction. It is more often
found in non-fiction, especially essays.
Third person point of view uses pronouns like “he”, “she”,
“it”, “they” or a name.
“Mr. Stewart is a principled man. He acts by the book and
never lets you deceive him easily.”
Third person limited is a method of storytelling in which the
narrator knows only the thoughts and feelings of a single
character. It’s like there’s a webcam on that character’s
shoulder and we, the reader can only see, hear and
experience what he or she does. Other characters are
presented only externally.
Omni means “all” in latin. An omnisicent narrator is an allknowing narrator that not only reports the facts but may also
interpret events and relate the thoughts and feelings of any
character. This differs from third person limited, which adheres
closely to one character's perspective.
Through third person omniscient, a writer may bring to life
an entire world of characters.
