Poetry

November 17th 2011

Poetry is meant to be listen too, not read 


I really enjoyed the lessons about poetry.  I love the poets ability to master language, and make sense to human emotions.  This is a talent that I truly envy. For as long as I can remember I have loved poetry.  I spent hours when I was younger searching blogs, reading quotes and poems just because symbolism and diction is so beautiful.  I also love music, and am one of those people who love a song just because of the lyrics.  That is why I loved the incorporation of "Loose Yourself" into the lesson.  I understood the meaning behind the song before I listened to it as a poem, but it did not impact me the same.  As a song it motivates me, but as a poem it brought chills to my back.  I  loved the poem "Those Winter Sundays" by Robert Harden. It truly depicted the indifference we feel to our parents when we are young.  I know now I appreciate everything my parents do for me, but back then, it was never enough.
