Annotations with Genius.com


Hey guys ! How are you?! :) I hope all of you are geared up for your exams! Best of luck! :) Especially to the class 12th students like me :P ! Anyways, I have always wanted to provide you with quality content and it's been my objective since day one. I am still striving hard to make the blog as user friendly, functional and interactive as possible. So recently I found this site called - Genius.com which is incredibly useful to decipher meanings out of texts. May it be a line from a novel, poetry, lyrics or a piece of commentary. It is the one stop shop for your every need. It's basically like a small Wikipedia with interactive users who share their perspectives on things. 
Anyways, I am not here to beat their drums but rather inform you about it's feature I am going to use on this blog. As you guys know, I write poetry and while you guys seem to appreciate fine literature, some might not be able to grasp all the imagery in the poem. I know how it is because it's the same for me when I am reading other poets and it is virtually impossible to get all the imageries at once. Also, it is hard to understand the poet's perspective of the line. So what I was thinking of doing, was that I'll be writing most of my poems on genius.com and embed them into my blog posts. The difference here is that you will be able to click on each annotated line and once you do that a small box will appear beside the lines where there will be the imageries and my perspective on the lines of the poem.  Not only does it make it easy for you guys to understand but it looks cool and most importantly gets the message of the poem right across to you for your scrutiny. On the basis of my perspective on the line, you can form your own and comment on the post how you see the poem! Just making it interactive because you guys are the ones for whom the blog is. You guys make this dream of mine possible. Thank you for all the love and support! You are amazing.
With love,
