"One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop

I chose to write about "One Art" because not only does it ring true, but loosing someone or something important is spoken of as a form of art.  Though I never would've considered looking at loss as a form of art, as I continued to read the poem I began to see how loss of something can become a sad and dangerous art that can be easily mastered.  When their is a loss of a loved one their is sadness, pain, and unfortunately as time goes on a person must go on with life and live without their loved one.  As stated in the poem "The art of losing is not hard to master" (Line 6)  When someone lets go of the most important opportunities in life or even their most important relationship their is regret but still life goes on and one must go on as well.  Again the statement "The art of losing is not hard to master" (Line 6) rings true.  Unfortunately mastering the art of loss isn't always the best thing and can become quite dangerous because losing becomes a part of someone and soon losing something important can seem like nothing.  One could  completely loose the feeling of regret and no longer wanting to lose the most important thing(s) in life.  Soon losing becomes so second  nature that one will never be able to learn what to do or how to get out of such a devastating mess.  Losing is the one art that all can master but the question is would anyone want to?
