The pleasure of poetic pattern - David Silverstein

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/the-pleasur...
Humans are creatures of rhythm and repetition. From our breath to our gait: rhythm is central to our experience, and often brings us pleasure. We can find pleasure in the rhythm of a song, or even the rows of an orchard. Of course, too much repetition can also backfire. David Silverstein describes what poetic repetition is and why it works.
Lesson by David Silverstein, animation by Avi Ofer.

    +david getsout He doesn't look ready, He look unHappy, sweaty, He can't eat spaghetti, but I'm sure He will get better if He eat crabbypatty. This video is beautiful, art making is skillful, and then goes this! The content is good, raising my mood, make me wanna roll happily in mud, or maybe I should? I'm trying to be poetic, I'm writing here as if I'm writing a music, even when all I can do is make it too classic, at least I can make a poetry you can enjoy even when you're sick. I know this look a bit forced, but I can barely select my word, I need to keep checking if what I write is right in oxford. That's it for now, my heart's still hollow, filled with shadow, I need a fellow, or maybe I'm just gonna grab my pillow, watching the sun glow, saying wow, take a bread chew it then swallow, now I'm gonna go slow, cause' this is my show, you should've say wow, I make a long poem that you should enjoy while eating marshmallow, I don't know how will I give this poem a deathblow, so I'm just gonna end this with booking a bungalow!!

    These are the concepts that I use to explain musical complexity. However, I usually compare it a good stand up routine, particularly those that end by referencing a concept presented earlier in the routine (which the imagery in this video nicely hints at). Do I dare compare these ideas to fractals? Yes, this is how we find the interesting patterns both in nature and our culture.

    This is why Dr Seuss was so great. When tweedle beetles fight it's called a tweetle beetle battle. And when they battle in a puddle it's a tweetle beetle puddle battle. And when tweetle beetles battle with paddles in a puddle, they call it a tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle. And when beetles battle beetles in a puddle paddle battle, and the beetle battle puddle is a puddle in a bottle, they call this a tweetle beetle bottle puddle paddle battle muddle.
