Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge – Order in Chaos
The prompt for Colleen’s Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge is Plan & Finish, #SynonymsOnly. I use Order for Plan and Match for Finish.
Enjoy this piece of fabulous art!
Chaos Comes Order by Pixel Chemist at Fine Art America
Below the introduction is a quote from the psychiatrists Carl Jung.
Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. Among the central concepts of analytical psychology is individuation – the lifelong psychological process of differentiation of the self out of the individual’s conscious and unconscious elements. Jung considered it to be the main task of human development. He created some of the best-known psychological concepts, including synchronicity, archetypes, the collective unconscious, the psychological complex and extraversion, and introversion.
Synchronicity – events are “meaningful coincidences.”
Archetypal phenomena – the highly developed elements of the collective unconscious. The existence of archetypes can only be deduced indirectly by using story, art, myths, religions, or dreams.
Collective unconscious – the human collective unconscious is populated by instincts.
Psychological complex – a core pattern of emotions, memories, perceptions, and wishes in the personal unconscious organized around a common theme.
Extraversion and introversion-extraversion tend to be manifested in outgoing, talkative, energetic behavior, whereas introversion is manifested in more reserved and solitary behavior.
(A Cinquain)

Reblogged this on Thoughts for Thoughtless and commented:
Carl Gustav Jung is the quintessential psychiatrist. He was a thinker, philosopher, insightful beyond his time. He, like many revolutionaries, went against the grain and introduced theories, ideas, and perspectives that did not align with society at his time. Carl G. Jung has long been a hero and inspiration of mine. Check out this post for a little taste of his beautiful, intuitive mind.

Yes, Debbie, this post is a good example of how one thought inspires another from beginning to finish. I started with using the two words order and chaos, then found this beautiful piece of art and the quote. I studied Jung 30+ years ago. ❤ 🙂

Thank you so much for reading, Nahla. Yes, it is very interesting. It’s based on research and then the psychiatrists or psychologists have their own conclusion or theory. I take whatever makes sense to me.

cool mural!
really detailed.
and I do not love Jung, but do like some of his theories/concepts
but I love your poem at the end – how you left the “to”on line three and ended with being.
the whole post coordinated and ended with that was “master teacher” stuff.
enjoyed it, M

Yes, Yvette, Freud was going to have him as the heir of his theory but Jung developed his own. I don’t like Freud but I agree with his defensive mechanism. We studies three basic styles of counseling, and I think I’m closer to Carl Rogers’ client-centered psychology than Skinner and a couple other guys. Even today when I do volunteer counseling, I use client-centered techniques for counseling but use behavioral approach to reinforce changes. I like Jung’s research and theories. Agree with him on everything? – maybe not.
A Far as the poem, I’ve read many that leave the conjunction, transitional words at the end of one line and have the verb or noun on the following line.
Thank you for reading and encouragement, Yvette. xx

yes- agree with the defense mechanisms (and don’t we thank Fraud’s, I mean Freud’s daughter for developing those)
— and quick question
why do they suggest that (leave the conjunction, transitional words at the end of one line ) I am sure for effect, meter, or flow? hm

Yes, when I react to something, at least I’m comforted that it’s okay, it’s my defense mechanism doing it.
There’s no strict rules to poetry when it comes to “free verse.” But the one I just did counts 2, 4, 6, 8, 2 syllables, so I put “to” at the end of the 3rd line and make rooms for the syllables on the 3rd and 4th lines.
