One of the joys of reading poetry, though,
Is putting ideas into the poem
And dreaming a life along with the poem.
Reading a poem like it was written today
Can give you insights into our modern time.
Because my poem of the same subject
Would not have been written,
Where I did make the blackbirds poets
Not revolutionaries.
Poetry needs to be both interpreted and interpolated.

I enjoy the thought-provoking nature of the final line and the room left for interpretation!

Thanks. Some of my best inspiration for poems comes through interpolations. Reading is a discipline. Good reading comes through multiple lenses of interpretation; Postmodernism is one of those tools, but so is interpolation. So is interpretation. I don’t think one ought to throw away a good idea because a poem was misread. If you learned something, and the poem you’re reading led you to that thought, that’s just as valuable as the thought the Author is trying to convey.
I would addendum that that one ought to still be looking for an objective meaning.
Though, when I use the term “Postmodernism” I mean purely in the academic sense. That sense is to ignore something false, yet still read the text for what other wisdom it provides.
I don’t mean it in the modern sense of subjectivity and personal truth. Nor in the flawed notion it sometimes conveys that poetry doesn’t have objective meaning. Nobody really thought that until recently. It’s kind of regressing people, but I am working diligently to change that.
