Nope. Read on.
One of Adam's first tasks as a human being was to name the animals God had created. God brought them all to Adam and he gave each creature a word to be theirs.
Once, an artist, named Makoto Fujimura, came and spoke during chapel at Union University. One of the things he mentioned was that the job of a poet is to name animals.
I think what he meant is, just as Adam gave a word to each creature, poets, and all writers, give words to creation.
This is what I hope to do as a writer. Life is sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes thought-provoking, sometimes completely senseless, and everything in between. I've always heard that the writer's job is to give words life, but my goal is the opposite: I want to give life words.
