AH+Tessimond

I think that Tessimond's higher and best purpose for this poem is to describe music using the analogies with a 'missing piece'. He describes music very well and I think that he uses imagery to his advantage by taking two items that need each other to function (waves and sea, fingers and hand, etc.) and using them to say that without two essential components some things, like music cannot exist. This poem is one of my favorites because of it's originality and creativity. The author is very talented and I really enjoy his work.

You begin to explore this thoughtfully, identifying the comparisons Tessimond does throughout the poem. But keep going. What does music need to exist? That seems to be the question he's asking.
