My Favorite Poetry

My favorite poetry came from the Soviet literature called “The City of Yes and the City of No”. I selected this poetry as my favorite because the author Yevgency Yevtushengko uses unique words in describing a situation or a context, this significantly captures my attention.
As a reader I find it interesting because it was contextualize in a way that it was experienced by different people in the world. In this poetry, the writer uses a unique style of differentiating two contrasting circumstances wherein he uses the poetry “the City of Yes and the City of No”.
Based from what I understand, City of Yes is compared to nature which is best without walls, and the in the City of No, there is a denial/rejection, that which could not accept the place or the atmosphere.
Reading the lines of the poem makes me feel interested because it forces me to choose what preference I want more. It will oblige the readers to think what side is more challenging and what is best.
After reading this poem I obviously decided to pick the City of Yes, because my present free life tells me to live in a manner that I am free from all sadness, fear, and restraint. My present free life diminished my capacity if it didn’t take away all of it, I should be grateful for a life such that in the other City. My acquaintance with laughter and open activities would make me feel uninterested and threatened in the City of No for the reason that there are no such things existing in it. I desire the City of Yes over the City of No not because it is better, but relatively it is due to my biases and my capability as person to live in it.
In the end, I choose it as my favorite because it portrayed an aspect in the society wherein everybody experiences this kind of life.
