Poetry!
I love poetry. Even though I am not someone who can write it, I appreciate people who can. One thing I like about poetry is that one poem can make you feel many different things. Another thing that I enjoy about poetry is listening to what other people feel about the same poem, and if it makes you feel something different. That's really interesting to me. Not knowing the poet is fun, because you get to decipher what you think the poet was feeling and what you feel as well. I think you can learn a lot about yourself when reading poems and by what you feel from them. I wish I could say that I have a favorite poem but I do not. I am not done reading all of this pod's selections of poems yet, but when I am, my next blog will be talking about which one is my favorite and why it is. Any one who is following this entry, what is your favorite poem and why ?

I have alluded to favorite poems in this Pod, but one of my all time favorites is "The Bells" by Edgar Allan Poe. I love the alliteration and onomatopoeia in that poem. Another favorite from Poe is "The Raven," which is such an easy to understand narrative poem.
ReplyDeleteI think I have read both of these poems before in High School but I will have to read them again! I think I'll be able to better understand them now.
